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...)

A nice, functional hotel in the heart of old town
It is a lovely and functional hotel located around campus of University of Zurich. There is a couple of cute cafes around, particularly ApoTHEKE, that I appreciated for its food and ambience. The property is clean and well organized though basic. I was delighted to find a yoga mat in the room, by the way!

Lovely hotel, not far from the station!
Really nice hotel, centrally located, and well-designed rooms. Not really much to complain about, pros and cons below. PROS: Centrally located, can walk from the central station (it is uphill so maybe get the tram up and walk down), Nice room and large bed (not two mattresses pushd together like a lot of hotels), Water cooker and coffee provided in rooms, Large rooms and large shower, shower has like a pivoting head so nice for those of us who are shorter or taller than average, nice smelling lotion, soap, and shampoo, nice staff, restaurant and breakfast at hotel. CONS: Not really a con for me but the bed is on the floor so if you have trouble with your knees/back, it may be an issue for you, pillows got a bit flat and also I hate feather pillows- they could be fake feathers but pretty sure those are cruel to birds (along with any kind of 'down' except for the vegan alternatives). That's it, mostly all pros! Lovely hotel
