We had booked 2 night stay at Placid Hotel. The only positive features that I can recommend is that a) It's located in non crowded area and has good connections to the city centre. b) The rooms were big enough and the breakfast was good. However I would not book the hotel again for the following reason a) We have to change twice from Zurich HB Station, once by train and again by bus to avoid using a taxi or walking with our luggages b) The hotel room lacks Wifi and we were without Wifi for 2 days. When checked at reception, we were told that there was a fault that they will fix it but later i realised that the rooms were far away from the router. c) The hotel room is ultra modern but who will put a big mirror in the toilet? there were big enough wardrobes that could fit many mirrors! the shower was open without privacy and it's not suitable if you want to stay with a family including young persons. d) There was no airconditioner and we couldn't sleep the last night as it was hot and we were scare to open the window from the 10th floor as it open vertically leaving a big opening. e) Most importantly there was a fire alarm on the 24th august and all guests had to run down the stairs at 5am from the top floors and be at the open ground with scanty clothes for 45 minutes. We were told that the hot shower triggered the alarm that the fire brigade had to come and close the incident. We then had to climb 10 floor as lifts were not be used. Our sleep was disturbed and so had to ca

Beautifully designed and maintained hotel at a reasonable price. Our room was very clean and spacious with large floor to nearly ceiling windows looking out over Zürich. The staff was very courteous. We arrived early and were allowed to check in as our room was ready. Overall, a wonderful experience.

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.
