The hotel is in an excellent location if you are looking to visit the main sights in Zurich. Rooms are super clean and the staff was always ready to help with questions. The Superior room on the 5th floor is beautiful with a private bathroom and everything you need to have a great time in Zurich.

The hotel is in a good location near the station, work, and sights. The rooms are small but clean and quiet. Very functional and has almost everything one may need (safe, closets, etc). The staff are competent and friendly. No issues with payment or administration.

Stay in the Heart of Zurich –

Combining a renovated historic building in the central Niederdorf quarter with stylishly furnished rooms, the Hotel Platzhirsch can be found a 5-minute walk from the Zürich Main Train Station.

Each room at the Platzhirsch hotel has a parquet floor and a flat-screen satellite TV. Laundry services are available.

Wi-Fi internet access is free of charge in the entire building and the elegant bar serves a wide range of coffee specialties and drinks.

The surroundings are quiet, the Platzhirsch is only a 2-minute walk from the next tram stop and the Zurich University and the ETH Zürich are also reachable by foot within 5 minutes.

1. Zurich Old Town - City Center is a great choice for travelers interested in old-town exploration, shopping and walking.

This is our guests' favorite part of Zurich, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.6 for a two-person trip.

The only criticism is that breakfast could have been a bit better with there not being much of a choice of breads and meats. The staff did all they could to make breakfast as best as they could
The location was perfect. A short walk from the train station but the cobblestone streets could be a problem if you are unsteady on your feet. The room was brilliant with all that you need to be comfortable. A really enjoyable place to stay in the heart of the old town.

The room is very small, the bathroom is even smaller than most and no air conditioning. The bed is not comfortable. Not much of a lobby area. The ability to relax in a comfortable bed and nice cool room to escape the heat of the day was not there. I won't be returning.

You need to share bathroom with the whole floor, and while you are in the bathroom remember to keep waving your hand every 5 seconds unless you enjoy darkness while doing your business.

“:-(”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Small Double Room with Shared Toilet
- • Stayed 1 night
Every floors has separate doors to open with a card (same for the WC on the floor). The doors closes with an incredible power and noise! As there is no reception = no control: From 2 AM until 5 AM guests (couple) screaming to each others violently in the room, floor, stairs, etc. They open and closes the doors with violence. For 1 hour one of them was outside knocking on the door until the door opens and so the insults and the shouting could continue until 5+ in the morning. Was quite surprise about this, which I could understand if I choose a cheap Guesthouse... Told the receptionist at the checkout to check the neighbor rooms than from the noises I could imagine that the rooms where damaged...

The toilet is outside the room and needs key to use. The corridor is very noisy when people passing by. No kettle available the whole hotel. Only expresso machine hot water which is not so continent. But the staffs are willing to fill it for you.
The location is great. Walking distance from everywhere. The room is clean.

- I was surprised that toilet is outside the room and you need to share it with others. - The doors are too noisy so every time when someone is opening the doors you can hear it in your room from corridor.
- The location is really good - in the center of the city so close to everywhere. - Windows are new and because of that when they are closed the room is a really silent place.

“Recommended, but expensive.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Small Single Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
- The first night, a Saturday, there was disco music blasting out from the adjacent club; so loud that you could feel the vibrations all over the bed. I had some trouble falling asleep. Perhaps the hotel is not to blame, but I think the management should sue the above said club for noise pollution. - Shower doors weren't able to prevent water from pouring out on the floor. So, every time I had a shower, a little pond would form. - I'm fine with the fact that, being Zurich one of the most expensive cities in the world, the bill for the hotel was high. But I still find it quite unjustifiable, as the said city is really insignificant artistically-wise.
- WI-FI working well. - Location: right in the center. No better place than that in Zurich. - A pair of free slippers available. - The hotel also provides you with a bathrobe. Never seen that even in better facitilies. - I never found the shared WC engaged. So that means there were enough of them.
