Most of the reviews here seem to concentrate on the fact that this hotel is conveniently located. But for what exactly? Yes, there are several tram stops just outside, and the train station is just across the river. But Zurich is compact anyway, and I'd gladly stay somewhere else, which is more pleasant. The area just around the hotel is... more

We stayed a couple of nights at the Central Plaza at the end of our Dubai/Swiss/Italian trip with our 6mo daughter. The rooms were (of course - we were in Europe after all!) rather small, particularly with a cot at the end of our bed, but we had anticipated that so weren't overly phased. We chose this hotel because of... more

Compared to the photos and reviews posted here, I think my experience was below average. Unfortunately, the front desk wasn't sympathetic to my complaints, so I have to think that it's their fault. I forgot to request a non-smoking room, and the first one they gave me, room 302, was smoking. I called and asked to be changed to a... more

We were here in the middle of March 2009 for two nights on our way back to the USA from Italy. This was our fifth stay at the Central Plaza in the last 10 years. We stay here because of the ease of getting to the airport by train, it takes 10-15 minutes to get to the airport. We had... more

At check in, the rooms with a connecting door did not exist, we were given parking view. we then were told we had too many requests... more

Stayed at the Central Plaza from January 16th to January 18th. After reading some bad reviews about this hotel I was a little worried. I need not have been. The hotel itself simply couldn't be better located. Bang in the middle of town, by the river, trams and main train station. Yes the area is noisy, how could it not... more

I had a one-night stay at the Central Plaza while on business in Zurich. The location is great -- a 2 minute walk across the river from the train station. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The room was compact but good quality, the shower worked very well, and the small gym had good quality equipment. I couldn't get... more

The hotel was in a good position near the station and the river, rooms were very small, hardly any wardrobe space and the air conditioning was virtually non existent. However room was clean with good linen. more
