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.

Recommended place; very good

This place is really nice and super clean with modern design; we really enjoyed our staying there. Not very close to touristy area, but I can't say the location was not good as it was very close to Kappeli station. The only issue that made me not feeling 5-star was that there was not a fridge in the room.

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.
