In the heart of the university area of Zurich, the Plattenhof is a nice boutique hotel with a trendy restaurant. The room was a little small though very adequate. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fine. Wifi worked perfectly until 1am when it seems that everything in Switzerland goes to bed. Breakfast was very nice and the staff... More

If you have any business with the ETH (Switzerland's MIT) or The university hospital, there is no better location. I have stayed here for many years and it is a real unfussed home from home. The staff are wonderfully friendly and cannot do enough for you. Claudio the chef makes sure that you eat what you want, menu or not.... More

We recently spent 4 nights at this hotel and the experience was good. The hotel was just as we expected from the reviews on here. Clean and functional. Location was excellent, just a quick walk away from 2 tram stops and a jump and a skip from the old town. Staff was helpful. I would like to take this opportunity... More

Being at a meeting at the University, I appreciated the convenience of 1-2 block walks, the rates were considerably higher than the meeting had published, but I had I believe an upgraded room. The decor is decent and almost sophisticated, the staff at the front despite other comments were very helpful. The prices though are for Americans just out of... More

In the two years since my last visit the hotel has really suffering from wear and tear and is need of a general sprucing up. Had a slightly unloved feel about it. With swiss franc so strong rates are on a... More

Small, noisy, hot, unhelpful staff, and way to expensive for this dumpy submarine. Party going on next store the night I stayed there and they would not do anything about it until I asked three times. Is staying at a hotel not largely about getting a good night's sleep! I have been traveling the world since I was 13 and... More

It was pretty good. The breakfast was so-so, the lobby was small, but the room was really big and it was modernly designed. The bathroom was pretty small, without any supply other than shampoo and conditioner. I wished that they had free internet instead of a really expensive internet. But It was a pretty cute hotel. I just with the... More

small, modern, somewhat designer-like hotel in walking distance to the University and the ETH - very friendly and helpful staff, excellent restaurant - would definitely come here again More

I stayed 1 night in this hotel in april 2011 the hotel is in the city centre - although you might not call it exactly downtown - but it is however easy to reach. Room rate was 250 CHF - although I got upgraded to what they call a "deluxe room" - I wouldn't pay the standard rate of more... More
