The design of this hotel was outstanding, infact that was one of the reason i picked it compared to the other ones. We arrived to Zurich by the train, and took about 15 minutes to get to the hotel by taxi. Wich ened up costing more than expected. Yes you can take the tram or even walk but with four... more

The Plattenhof was the last place I stayed while traveling in Switzerland and I thought it was okay! The staff was really friendly, which was nice, but the hotel is a bit inconvenient. It is located a little outside the old city in the University area. You can easily take the 6 tram to the hotel but it does take... more

The decoration is hyp and cool BUT then you star analysing it with traveler's view. Despite it being in a quiet part of the city, it requires at least 15 min fast pace walk to center (I consider myself a fast walker). If you have big bags, it's quite a journey to take it to the train station. If you're... more

I cannot see why anyone would write anything negative about the Plattenhof, its a great hotel, great staff and great price. I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Zurich and I will certailny book this hotel again next time . more

we stayed in this awful hotel last year and it was terrible. although there were three of us we were given a tiny room which we could just fit in. the furniture was old and horrible, the bathroom was dirty, with broken tiles and a broken sink. it looked like it hadnt been redecorated in the last 20 years all... more

I first went to the Plattenhof 5 years ago and absolutely love it. It's in an extremely peaceful location so you can get a good night's sleep and the rooms are stylish and comfortable. I don't agree that it's just for the young - I am 63 years old and it ticked all the boxes for me. However, I did... more

Unfortunately we only stayed one night in Zurich and the Hotel Plattenhof. The hotel is located in the heart of the University of Zurich campus. A good quiet location for business or pleasure and just a pleasant short walk to old town and wow…lots of shopping! On the first floor is a trendy little café that seems to be full... more

My husband and I traveled to Zurich for Labor Day weekend. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on this particular trip and found the Plattenhof on Trip Advisor. We thought the hotel was great. To address some of the negative comments I read in a few reviews, our double room was reasonably spacious (#306) and clean. In... more

Me and my partner stayed at the Plattenhof for 5 nights in early August and had a great stay. Very clean rooms, friendly staff, extremely quiet location, yet within walking distance of the old town of Zurich, particularly the Niederdoerfli, which we spent several evenings exploring (great bars and clubs!). Room could have been a little bigger and would have... more
