Design Hotel Plattenhof

Rooms were not large, but very well organized and very clean. The focaccia panini in the lounge were nice for lunch. A great place for a day or 2 stay.

It was ok.

Staff was friendly and room was clean.

Great stay and friendly staff

Staff was professional and helpful. Breakfast was basic but good service. Would go back

No AC , no refrigerator in the room. Breakfast was very good.

Comfortable hotel, convenient for the lake and old town. Bathroom small and dark but everything worked. Bar and restaurant available. Bar staff particularly friendly.

Quiet neighborhood near public transportation

Met our need well as a place with access to public transportation

Very hot room, no ac. Everything else was fine but it's rough when Europe is having a heat spell.

Breakfast was great and staff were pleasant. Not sure if my room was just not recently renovated and others are, but could use a fresh coat of paint. Shower curtain stained, fabric materials showing wear. The bed was quite hard but luckily lots of pillows to make it work. Area convenient in university area, nice lookout area nearby to see the town from above.

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.
