Hotel Platzhirsch

Charming little hotel in a great location. The owner and her team are super friendly and helpful beyond the norm. I am incredibly grateful for this, because you could say they made the impossible possible. The delightful little bar is a great place to end the day. I can recommend this hotel with a clear conscience.

Very nice property! It was small, but it has everything we needed. Nora at the reception desk was very nice, friendly and very helpful. It was a great stay in Zurich!

Avoid at all costs- NOISE IS TERRIBLE. Bars outside blast techno music all night making it impossible to sleep (and I’m on the top floor). You can also hear people on the street and walking through the hallways. It is winter and our windows are closed. Hotel lacks a real front desk so no one is around to help you. Also, cars can’t drive up to the front so you have to lug your bags at least a block on cobblestone. Just overall a poorly run hotel next to extremely noisy bars. Grateful I only booked this place for 1 night. Update as I was about to post this- a literal MARCHING BAND is going by at 11 pm. No warning from the hotel

Have stayed a few times now and always feel welcomed and well taken care of here. Very personal service to help navigate Zurich. Their new Sushi restaurant was quite good also and they are convenient to everything else we were looking for locally. Quick walk from the trains!

Our room had everything you could possibly need on a short stay .

Wonderful, small hotel above a small bar/restaurant. Charming, well maintained building. We’ve stayed here several times over the past several years. The majority of the rooms overlook the cobblestone street with tables outside for people to eat/drink. If you arrive by car, the hotel will help with parking and getting your car registered so you can park in the area. Location is perfect, 1 block from bus/tram stops, 1 block from bank/ATM machine and 1 block to the river. Lots of shopping, bars, dinning, pharmacy and major grocery store within easy walking distance. It is in the center of old town so quite charming and well preserved area. Our room overlooked the street but with double pane windows the room was quiet. Loud outside noise were muffled so not a problem. (Make sure your window is closed and the lock engaged to help seal out noise. On weekends the area could be busier but noise really wasn’t a problem for us. The rooms are small (as most rooms in cities) so we (2 people) booked the supreme room to get a little more space. It had a small seating area, desk, flat screen tv, room safe, refrigerator (drinks/juice were free) and coffee maker. Bathroom had hairdryer, bathrobes, shampoo/conditioner and some toiletries. This place is VERY CLEAN. Staff was efficient, friendly and very helpful. We opted to have breakfast here in the mornings since we are early risers and didn’t wan’t to waste time trying to find someplace open. It’s well worth the additional cost. They offer a variety of coffee and tea so my husband was able to have his Cafe Latte. The breakfasts are huge with offerings of a variety of fresh artisan breads, croissants and rolls (including gluten free). Large selection of high quality jams and honey harvested from their roof top hives. Selection of cold cuts, cheeses, cereals, yogurts along with hard boiled eggs (colorfully dyed) and numerous other delicious items. We were surprised that they asked us if we wanted tomatoes, avocado, cucumber or chickpea. I opt for it and was brought a small plate with humus, cherry tomatoes with slices of avocado )I didn’t want the cucumbers. It was all tasty and it was a nice change to have some fresh vegetables for breakfast. We already have reservations for our return to Zurich in a few days from now before we fly home. Great place and well worth staying here.

Cozy hotel at the heart of old town

The hotel is centrally located in the old town district of Zurich. I selected the bay window room overlooking the Hirschenplatz. This was a good room that I recommend. The hotel does not provide breakfast, but there are many options not very far away. I strongly recommend breakfast nearby at the Conditorei Schober.
