This is a very nice, clean hotel. There are a few steps down to get to the elevator so heavy luggage will need to be carried down to it. The attached restaurant is quite good. There was a fan (with a strange oscillation pattern) which we used because it was quite warm for October. It would have been nice to have curtains the were more than just sheer. It is not too close to places one might want to visit by walking but it is close to the university.
Comfortable hotel, convenient for the lake and old town. Bathroom small and dark but everything worked. Bar and restaurant available. Bar staff particularly friendly.
Wonderful service, spotless room & outstanding breakfast. Had to leave at 6am on checkout day & they prepared and left a big to-go breakfast for us to take along on the train. Easy transport via trams. Would definitely stay there again.
Property was really nice. It was well designed & furnished. They also had dining options listed on a chalkboard in the elevator along with hiking in the area. Staff was all really kind and helpful. Would highly recommend & would stay again.
Breakfast was great and staff were pleasant. Not sure if my room was just not recently renovated and others are, but could use a fresh coat of paint. Shower curtain stained, fabric materials showing wear. The bed was quite hard but luckily lots of pillows to make it work. Area convenient in university area, nice lookout area nearby to see the town from above.
Staff at the reception was awesome Tim gave me a lot of great advises for the parking places and the borrow you umbrellas which is a great think. The location is super great! The only thing you have to be aware is that rest. Is not open on Saturdays…..
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...)

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Property was in a good location, minutes from Tram, the disappointing room size was a complete turnoff.
The head of bed literally inches from toilet.
The building is charming. With a very nicely decorated interior. It is also well located. In a nice, quiet, cozy neighborhood, but at a walking distance from the popular, largfe area of Old Town Zurich, with all its landmarks, stores, restaurants, etc.
There is a bakery, and a mini-mart, in the immediate vicinity (3-minute walk). They were open very early, even though it was the end-of-year season, and pretty much everything was closed, everywhere, in this city…
The rooms are... let's say… minimalistic. But nice, clean, quiet. There was no thermostat control in the room itself, but it was well heated, the air was clean, the insulation was good, the temperature was quite warm and comfortable (end of December).
The price a bit too high, all things considered. But things are often like that, in Zurich.
The breakfast is exceptional. And it is offered in a huge, impressive room. The young lady who was there, Yanna, was an angel. It was very early in the morning, and she had prepared the buffet impeccably, seemingly all by herself (it was December 30, and there weren't too many people working, in this city, during that period of time…) And although there was a coffee machine, she offered to prepare and serve the first - the most crucial! - cup of coffee of the early morning. It was just perfect.
Rooms were not large, but very well organized and very clean. The focaccia panini in the lounge were nice for lunch. A great place for a day or 2 stay.
