This hotel is in a very central location, close to tram stops and only minutes walk from the main centre. The room was comfortable and the bathroom especially was very large. The breakfast was delicious. The staff was friendly and spoke English very well. The bar was very cool also! I would definitely consider staying here again.

Hotel is minimalist located by Zurich University. The room was very attractive and with the southern exposure the sun was uplifting. It is approximately a 10 minute walk to the 'old city'...the Platte trolley stop is only a block away Staff was very helpful upon arrival. Breakfast seemed to be a bit disorganized ( but very adequate), as the Hotel seemed […] to be in the midst of the 'slow season'. Overall the place is very good and I would recommend to others. I miss the coffee already!!! Read more

Great staff!

Nice location but not many restaurants around the hotel. The hotel does have breakfast included which is nice. And they also serve lunch and dinner. Did not give a superb cleanliness because the dirty drinking glasses were not replaced one night but otherwise hotel was clean.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is located near the University and tram stop. Getting from the airport to the hotel via train and tram was super easy. Just follow the directions on the hotel website. Overall, the hotel is clean and comfortable. The rooms are typical of a European hotel -- small and functional. The staff spoke fluent English and were very very helpful. It's […] about a 10 minute walk to the old town down a hill, but the neighborhood is pleasant and safe. Really good buffet breakfast with cold cut meats, cheeses, breads, eggs, fruit and yogurt. A good value for Zurich. We would definitely stay here again. Read more

We booked three rooms for the final night of a trip before flying out of Zurich early in the morning. The Plattenhof was perfect for us. Quiet, very clean and comfortable. In the morning, though we were up very early the staff made us coffee and allowed us to take our breakfast with us "to go." They were very helpful and gracious. My only criticism […] is that our bed was set on a low platform and was a bit awkward to get into and out of - particularly in the dark. Read more

Hotel Plattenhof is a very basic hotel, but will have everything necessary for a comfortable stay. The entire staff was great! 5 min tram ride to Old Town Zurich. Considering how expensive Zurich is for everything, I thought the pricing was extremely reasonable considering the rate includes a standard Swiss breakfast buffet and wireless internet. The […] beds were surprisingly comfortable! I would definitely stay at Hotel Plattenhof in the future. Read more

Would recommend the hotel. Small, quiet hotel located in the university area of the city with very convenient tram service just up the street. Zurich is very easy to navigate and the location makes it so.

Hotel Plattenof may not be in the glitzy part of town, but being near the University and Hospital it was easy access by the #6 train. Obviously staying in Europe is different, but none of the nightmares existed that I had heard about. Moreover, the staff added with the cafe and breakfast made this quite the launching and returning point for our excursions. […] I highly recommend this hotel for a first time trip to Zurich.

Good hotel and staff. It isn't in the center of old town but easily reached!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Good moderately priced hotel in the University area. I'd recommend it for a good bed and good WiFi.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This place is a gem! Such a cute and friendly vibe. Rooms are very clean. Lovely bath, and great bed with wonderful bedding. The staff could not be more helpful. The lobby has a coffee/wine bar and free dvd's to watch in the room. My husband and I loved the place and will stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Even if you must park your car at the Plattenhof, it's still relatively inexpensive for one of the most expensive cities in the world. The staff are very nice, the location is a short walk from the river and lake or the university and old town, and the rooms and baths are large. The hotel is old and a bit worn in places, and the decor is cheap modern. […] The reception desk is at one end of a coffee shop that apparently appeals to university students. Our first night they sang drinking songs that kept us up and their smoke found its way into our room (perhaps through the vent system) like they were under the bed. With some caveats we would recommend the Plattenhof. Read more

Best things are the great location, quality of service. Nice people. The room is barely basic. Internet service is awful. Breakfast was fine, again very basic. Didn't have other meals there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Plattenhof is a small but well-kept hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The building is old but the rooms have been renovated and are very modern, clean and comfortable. Similar to many other European hotels though, there is no air conditioning but there was a fan in the room which worked well enough to make the room comfortable (the outside temperature […] during our stay was 90 F/32 C) . The location is near the university and about a 15-20 minute walk to the old town or the main train station and there are tram stops within 2-3 blocks. Overall, a great hotel if you don't mind a little bit of walking (it is a beautiful neighborhood so it is a very pleasant walk). Read more

It was more than what i expected, such a was a great find!

Genuine Expedia guest review

For the price this is a great buy! Hotel staff was outstanding! Zurich is an expensive city and this hotel is affordable and lovely accommodations.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Except for the location being a small distance from the train station, this is a nice, basic, relatively inexpensive hotel. Despite small bathrooms, it is well organized and designed to maximize space. The night staff was exceptionally helpful in organizing an emergency trip to the German border at 10pm! No porters makes it difficult if you have baggage. […] It is within a few yards from a tram stop, making access easy. Read more

the hotel room was small and expensive for US standards but OK for Swiss. Good location near tram to all points. Not so easy to find at first. No restaurants nearby by easy access by tram.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A great little hotel- very friedly and unconspicuous, combining avant-garde eastern spirituality with Swiss efficiency. Great room and very comfortable. Lack of electric outlets in room was inconvenient.

It was convenient ,clean , reasonable,staff very friendly and helpful.It is located in a good area close to the tram. Breakfast was very good ,delicious and healthy. we will definitely come back.we had a good experience.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

All in all a good hotel- easy to get around, helpful staff and good breakfast buffett. My only gripe was the lack of an air conditioning unit (hard to sleep as room got stuff and it was June) and wifi connection (would go in & out, or I'd have to stand by the elevators where the router was). Hard to sleep at night as the room got stuffy.

the people were wonderful and the breakfast was good the coffee was the best. Over all the people at the front desk were on top of there game. they answered questions drew maps for us and took care of use like family.

Great basic hotel. Very friendly staff. Great location, easy tram ride from station.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice basic hotel, great helpfull staff. 10 min walk to the center of old town. easy # 6 tram route from station. Only issue is the rooms don't have AC and it was 32 or 88 when we arrived. They had a fan for us to borrow which was a life saver.

My girlfriend and I stayed at this hotel our first night in Switzerland and liked it so much that we came back for another night upon our return to Zurich. The rooms were quaint while both the bedding and the bathroom were especially above expectations. We left the windows open and enjoyed the sounds if a nearby fountain and even the birds. The free […] breakfast had many choices and therefore outstanding. The front desk staff was extremely helpful and even got us coffee and food when we had to leave before the breakfast was available. The old town area of Zurich was within easy walking distance even though the hotel was a bit off the beaten path, which made for a relatively quiet stay. I travel extensively on business and I'd recommend this hotel to anyone...all in all a great beginning and end to our trip! Read more

The hotel staff was of utmost help and were very professional. They responded immediately to our request for an extra bath towel, and gave us easy-to-follow directions on walking to Old Town Zurich, info on tipping customs and the tram system, and booked a shuttle van for our airport transportation. The buffet breakfast was included in our price, and […] was very nice. Location was great - only a block or two from a tram stop, and easy walking distance from Old Town, and the room was relatively large - compared to our other European hotels. The bathroom was large, and the shower head had great pressure! One of the minor downsides to our experience is that our room could have used a little maintenance work - albeit aesthetically only, not functionally. For example, the main room had some peeling paint in the corner, etc. Also, the hallway was not carpeted, so was a bit noisy when other guests walked by and wheeled luggage to their rooms. And lastly, although the "king" bed was comprised of two twin beds, the duvet was quite a bit narrower than the combined bed - more of a double or queen size. But it was workable . . . :) Read more

Very friendly and helpful staff; adequate breakfast included; quite convenient location (less than 1 block to #5 and 6 trams); minutes from many attractions

Very hospitable staff. I was on vacation and had broken both of my legs. I didn't have a wheelchair, so two young members of the staff helped carry me to my room. They were very helpful and very accommodating to any request. Thanks again to the staff!

Nice hotel. Just remember that everything in Europe is smaller than in the US. Great location. Metro to FIFA. Walking distance from Munsterplatz. Wifi sucks, but is free.

Hotel Plattenhof in Zurich is an awesome hotel, walking distance to Central Zurich, excellent free breakfast buffet, super friendly and helpful staff. This is one of the best hotels in Zurich in my opinion. It’s not expensive, it doesn’t have any special decorations or large size rooms, but it is really a good value. I should mention a high speed free […] wireless internet. The internet is very fast comparing to any other hotels I’ve ever been to! Great hotel for business or leasure travelers, I will definitely stay there again next time I’m in Zurich. Read more

Hotel is a tram ride away from town in the university setting. Nice walk to lake or train station too. Small room but nice and minimalist decor. Good breakfast. Lovely staff.

Okay for the money since Zurich is VERY expensive. Hotel staff were nice. They say the have air condition but they do not. Our room was on the street side and was very noisy. Request a room in the back of the property.

We found this small hotel very comfortable and the people working there very helpful and accommodating, especially Julia, the desk clerk when we arrived. The rooms are done in a quite modern style, even though the building is older, and we enjoyed the decor. The included breakfast was also excellent - a good variety of items and good quality. Would […] definitely recommend the hotel. Read more

This is a very designery/modern-chic hotel. room decorations are sparse and minimalist, but comfortable and welcoming. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and the hotel location was very condusive to sight-seeing in Zurich.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Awesome breakfast buffet, friendly, helpful staff. Switzerland is very expensive, and this hotel might seem to be high priced, but compared to Swiss prices in general, it is really a good value. Conveniently located close to the #5 or 6 Tram Stop, it's only 4 stops from Central Zurich. Zurich's transit system is clean, efficient, and on time, so just […] buy a 24-hour ticket [a good value at 8.2 Swiss Francs as of July 2011], hop on the tram near the Plattenhof, and explore to your heart's content!
