Design Hotel Plattenhof

The building is charming. With a very nicely decorated interior. It is also well located. In a nice, quiet, cozy neighborhood, but at a walking distance from the popular, largfe area of Old Town Zurich, with all its landmarks, stores, restaurants, etc. There is a bakery, and a mini-mart, in the immediate vicinity (3-minute walk). They were open very early, even though it was the end-of-year season, and pretty much everything was closed, everywhere, in this city… The rooms are... let's say… minimalistic. But nice, clean, quiet. There was no thermostat control in the room itself, but it was well heated, the air was clean, the insulation was good, the temperature was quite warm and comfortable (end of December). The price a bit too high, all things considered. But things are often like that, in Zurich. The breakfast is exceptional. And it is offered in a huge, impressive room. The young lady who was there, Yanna, was an angel. It was very early in the morning, and she had prepared the buffet impeccably, seemingly all by herself (it was December 30, and there weren't too many people working, in this city, during that period of time…) And although there was a coffee machine, she offered to prepare and serve the first - the most crucial! - cup of coffee of the early morning. It was just perfect.

Nice enough

Lovely hotel near the university, with great restaurant and cafe in the lobby!

Comfortable and clean room in a nice neighborhood near the University. Easy walk to center of town from here

First off, the hotel is now the Plattendorf, not the 'Design'. Orbitz: you need to let them change it. A fair walk from the HB, the room was fine. The Italian restaurant attached has great Italian food. All in all a fine hotel (no free breakfast...)

Property was in a good location, minutes from Tram, the disappointing room size was a complete turnoff. The head of bed literally inches from toilet.

Lovely hotel for a short business trip, convenient location, well priced. The room was very comfortable and the staff were great.

Great hotel

Good location to explore Zurich old town on foot. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Property was really nice. It was well designed & furnished. They also had dining options listed on a chalkboard in the elevator along with hiking in the area. Staff was all really kind and helpful. Would highly recommend & would stay again.

We were in Zurich for a family wedding- this hotel was conveniently located for the venue. It is near the beach university and hospitals.

Wonderful service, spotless room & outstanding breakfast. Had to leave at 6am on checkout day & they prepared and left a big to-go breakfast for us to take along on the train. Easy transport via trams. Would definitely stay there again.

Everything

Front desk staff were great, especially Tim Klaus, very helpful.

Staff at the reception was awesome Tim gave me a lot of great advises for the parking places and the borrow you umbrellas which is a great think. The location is super great! The only thing you have to be aware is that rest. Is not open on Saturdays…..

Great place

Expensive like the rest of z Switzerland

Nice hotel on a good location (quiet but close to downtown/old town). Very nice staff and great on site restaurant.

Nice hotel in a nice area. Very clean. Amazing Italian restaurant and amazing stuff. It is missing a mini-bar (small fridge) and AC.

An easy team ride to the hotel. And a nice walk to the lake for dinner
