Do not stay here without wax ear plugs or a Bose noise reduction headset. The room was stuffy, but it was impossible to have the window open because cigarette smoke from the noisy restaurant and party goers below came into the room. The platz stays LOUDLY busy until way past 0400 on Saturday night. Not for warm weather stays because... More

The hotel is a little unusual in that it is above a bar, and the reception is part of that. I found the staff friendly and efficient. The room was quite large (room 15) and though I was worried about the noise from the square - I never heard a thing. Shower is a little on the small side, but... More

The hotel is centrally located in a bustling piazza in the old town area of Zurich. Booked an economy double for my 77 year old mother and myself. Room had a full bath and was located at the top of the cupola - room 23. Location is convenient and hotel has a boutique feel while keeping old world charm. If... More

It's about 10 mins walk from Zurich HB. Room is too small but it's very clean. Price/Quality is bad. In their reception the top priority is bar business so you may imagine how long the hotel guest waits for the service. At night it's quite noisy due to the bar business and restaurant nearby. Breakfast is just ok, few options.... More

Excellent boutique hotel right in the Zurich old town. The interiors of this hotel designed the rooms and lounge bar with good taste. In the evening you'll find a lot of people on the outside terrase drinking a nice cocktail. It is very pleasant as it sit on a pedestrian street and close to boutiques and good restaurants. We had...

Absolutely loved this hotel! They upgraded us since business was slow & they were repairing our original room. It was quite expensive but we booked last minute & everything in Zurich is expensive. The breakfast was delicious & filling. Bed & pillows very comfy. Perfect location right in old town with all of the touristy sights as well as great... More

Having lived, studied and worked in Zurich, I thought I knew most of the best hotels. I actually discovered this one, more known for its nice bar. This has been a very good experience. I initially came for the value, but found 1) great location 2) very friendly staff, 3) very nice room, 4) attention to details and 5) great... More

This hotel is about a ten minute walk from the main train station in Zurich. It’s in a nice area (walk around to explore the little shops along the cobblestone streets, see the shops on the Bahnhoffstrasse and take some photos along the river). The hotel has a lift to the rooms. We stayed on the first floor and shared... More

My friend and I stayed in Hotel Platzhirsch from Oct 30th to Nov 2nd. We arrived Zurich at 11pm and by the time we got our bags and got going, (having taken the wrong train first) arrived at 1am to the hotel. We were greeted warmly and went to our room directly. Our room was on the 4th floor, elevators... More
