Very convenient and centrally located by the train station. Reasonable price given the prices of hotels in Zurich. Staff was very helpful. Room OK, not luxury. Overall happy to have stayed here.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were gracious enough to upgrade me to a room with a balcony - which made the stay all so memorable. The location is perfect - 5min walk from the train station, near Old Town and the main city centre. The room may be a little small but suited me as a solo traveller.

Great location and nice modern hotel. Only possible drawback is that it is right next to a main tram/bus terminus and they sure do make a noise.

Had a great stay at the Central Plaza Hotel. The location was perfect for exploring the city and getting our train to Zermatt. For an old hotel, it is has been remodeled nicely and the rooms are comfortable. The staff was very nice and always helpful. The brunch in the restaurant was great (order the fresh omlettes). If you can, avoid the first floor. I did pay more to get a 2 bed room with a little more room, but they put us in a room with no view; the awning out the window masked the outside.
