A small hip hotel more suited to young travellers. The room we stayed in was quite small and had barely enough room to put our luggage due to a baby cot for our 10month old baby. Baby cot wasn't too clean so we had to drap towels to cover the sides. Bedside lights were light bulbs on the wall without... more

Truly a memorable hotel. Definitely the best hotel we stayed at during our entire trip in Europe. Very modern and well designed with a beautiful spacious modern bathroom, comfortable bedding, hardwood floors, toiletries and complimentary bottled water upon arrival. We requested a room with a view, and they provided us with a corner room on the the fourth floor with... more

The rooms are lovely and the area the hotel is located in is quiet but close to the center and a tram stop - the most important factors for me in any hotel. The staff were friendly, professional and very helpful. The breakfast menu could be a bit more varied and have more options. Didn't eat in the restaurant but... more

I stayed in Plattenhof Hotel for a couple of nights in during my visit to Zurich. The location is great with atram stop 100 m away and the main Zurich HB only 10 mins by tram. Moroever this hotel is located in a quiet residential area of Zurich , near to the university. The rooms are spacious and stylishly designed,... more

We stayed in the Plattenhof for three nights in April 2009. The hotel had just undergone a make over and the rooms were well finished and the dining room was nicely done. Bathroom and shower were adequate and have no complaints. Was disappointed with the level of sound proofing between the floors, so we could hear people in the room... more

Excellent hotel, great value, perhaps a little basic but an ideal base to see Zurich from. Good transport and just 10 minutes walk in to old town centre. Staff could not have been more helpful and location is quiet but in a nice part of town near the University and Zoo (are they the same thing?) Ideal for business and... more

We stayed here for 2 nights, visiting friends in Zurich, and before travelling to Italy. We appreciated the helpful staff, the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the bar were a lot of books and magazines were available to read. The room was very cosy, and very quite. not very big, but had it all. Large tv, dvd player with a large... more

We stayed at the Hotel Plattenhof at the end of October 2008 at the start of our holiday in Europe. Because of the quality service and attentive staff, we opted to return to the hotel for our last two nights in Zurich before returning to Canada. The staff was exceptional. They were attentive, friendly and extremely helpful. They went above... more

We stayed here in mid September for 3 nights. The hotel has a lot going for it. It is in a great location near the university and away from the business area but an easy walk (but significantly downhill to and uphill back from) the old town and central Zurich. If walking is a problem for you the trams are... more
