Grand-looking hotel across the river from the main train station [which was more than ideal for us as we'd been on some loong train journeys in the last few days]. Rooms were a bit dated and the decor not particularly modern. That said the lobby looked great, the bar was really nice and the view to the river superb. Location... More

This hotel is located very close to the central Zurich train station just across the limmat river. I stayed for 2 nights here in a room that was well styled with right accessories. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was simply Swiss-quality with cold buffet and all you can order hot a la carte. Very enjoyable experience indeed...Will definitely... More

I found this Hotel online, so I took a chance to visit it and I must say it was a very good choice. The hotel (For Swiss standards) is not overly expensive. I paid 200 CHF per night. It is located only about 100 metres from the train station, so it is easy and cheap to take the train from... More

Our stay started when when, with many bags, we left the train station in downtown Zurich looking for a cab. The driver announced that the hotel was just 200 meters away! We walked over the bridge and saw a magnificent facade over looking the river. The hotel has a beautiful lobby with an upscale feel. Reception was excellent and all... More

Across the river from the central station (maybe a 5 minute walk) and in the heart of downtown Zürich, Central Plaza Hotel is a great choice. Our room was modern, large and clean. It was quiet at night despite the traffic. The windows must be well sound-proofed. The staff was friendly and efficient. There is a positively reviewed main restaurant... More

Centrally located across the street from the train station. Rooms are comfortable, staff helpful and curtious.For business it is within walking distance from the financial center and for walking around the old city it is just across the street. However, the price did not include breakfast, making it a little pricey.

Close to station, lots of bars and restaurants close by. Lovely hotel, everywhere clean, comfortable beds and spacious enough room. Bar expensive but then everything is in Zurich. Coop over the road if you need any supplies. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
