Our family had a lovely stay at Placid Hotel in Zurich. The rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. We dined at the hotel restaurant and it was delicious. So was the breakfast in the morning. The staff was kind enough to explain how to use Zurich's public transportation, so we used the tram and bus system to visit several sites around the city.

The property itself met my expectations. I was particularly impressed by how quiet my room was. I hate to complain, but I was not prepared for a non air-conditioned experience, especially because the window in the room was on a timer and kept closing itself. Also the location is not central to the tourist attractions. Be advised that the restaurant is not open on Saturday and Sunday. Closest bars are 15 minute walk.

War nett aber die Zimmer sind nicht herausragend. Das Hotel ist recht hellhörig und man hört sie Rohre. Der Service am Empfang ist extrem freundlich! Das Internet ist leider furchtbar und man verliert oft die Verbindung. Die Lage ist okay. Das Hotel ist sehr gut angebunden.

good location, nice staff, rooms are nice and a good value. laundry is a service provided, in the sense that it is taken from you room and done for you. its very expensive. quite unfortunate. there is also not a microwave or fridge. the wet bathroom is also a little messy sometimes. overall good. close to tram. must shout out the very cool floor to ceiling windows that open.
