There are many pluses to staying at the Central Plaza. The proximity to the train station; the location in relation to the river, & its shops, bars & restaurants etc.; the rooms in the hotel are spacious, modern, clean & comfortable, and the staff are very good. Some friends who were also in Zurich at the same time, staying in a more expensive, ‘boutique’ hotel, complained about the size of their rooms, and especially the bathrooms. Whereas the bathroom I had in the Central Plaza was beautifully appointed, and large. I had booked the hotel without knowing exactly what to expect, but I was v.pleasantly surprised. Like everything in Zurich it was not inexpensive. But certainly less expensive than other alternatives.
