Our entire team welcomes you at the PLATZHIRSCH!

We are all looking forward to your esteemed visit and to spoiling you in your new home away from home.

We are an international team, hailing from virtually every corner of the world, and pleased to be here together in beautiful Zürich. We all understand what makes this city so special, and are happy to share our passion, insights and dedication to service with you. Our motivation is to make you feel welcome, our reward is your smile.

Our used toner cartridges and ink cartridges are handed over to the campaign each toner is counts by the Swiss Red Cross and thus helps to reduce waste mountains. These are checked and processed in the Pelikan recycling center. Pelikan hands a donation to the Red Cross for collected toner. The money from the collection campaign benefits the humanitarian work of the Swiss Red Cross, especially families in need in Switzerland.

Used cork taps we send to the Foundation Stiftung Bernaville whose inhabitants process them to practical cheminee lighter cubes (recycling fire lighter "LaFlamme"). The Foundation Bernaville offers and develops needs-oriented offers for residents in the areas of housing, work, employment, leisure, health, nutrition and integration.

We also support Pro Nachtleben Zürich because we believe in a vibrant Zurich.

We provide maintenance and repair work wherever possible to the non-profit and privately owned CB Stiftung, which offers jobs and a memorable life for people with a mental disability. The goal of this foundation is to improve the life and future prospects of these people by providing the low-threshold employment and employment forms of the second labor market for an unlimited period of time, and to enable them to live a meaningful life as well as a fixed daytime structure in the midst of our society.

When guests dispose of clothes or shoes in the room bucket, we hand them over to the Swiss Mountain Aid. We dispose of other leftover objects according to the applicable recycling rules.

Used coffee pads are returned to our coffee supplier Nesprosseo, which recalls them professionally for recyclables.

From this beautiful, riverside stop you simply walk direction upstream along the Limmat River and between the shops "Affolter Uhren" and "GEOX" turn uphill onto the quaint street called “Hirschengasse” ...and you come right onto the “Hirschenplatz” (Square) where straight ahead to the left you’ll see the PLATZHIRSCH Hotel. Don’t worry you, can’t miss us!

Just follow the clearly marked signs throughout the airport (with a train symbol on them), to the lower concourse. Tickets are available at the bottom of the escalators, with SBB train staff usually on hand to assist in English. From arrival into the Zurich main train station (often called HB, or ‘Hauptbahnhof'), walk north outside to the tram stop “Bahnhofquai/HB” - take Tram no. 4 to "Rudolf Brun Brücke” stop (we're only two stops away...!).

Super bezahlbares Hotel, auch für deutsche Gäste. Frühstück klein aber fein, Personal immer freundlich und flexibel. Wir kommen wieder!
Markus Loibl, Tourist, Deutschland
I like this hotel very much. Very good located, nice design. I booked directly so I have got breakfast included. Friedly personnel and hotel management. Nice bar to chill out in the evening! Perfect choice for city or business travellers.
Dekski, Businessmen, Posen, Poland
A localização é de primeira, bem no centro histórico de Zurique. Os quartos são excelentes, soube que há vários tipos de aposentos, mas o que fiquei era extremamente confortável, com vista para a Praça e muito espaçoso. Super recomendo!
fromilheus, Viajante, Sao Paulo, Brasil

Gregatratnik, Traveller, New York City, USA
Jolie petit hôtel très bien situé il y a tout sur place, divers restaurant, bar et magasin . Les quartiers bouge beaucoup, mais les chambres sont bien isolées. Le bar de l’hôtel est très sympathique avec pas mal d’animation. Le personnel très pro et rapide.
Fabrice C, Homme d'affaire, Paris, France
Dies ist die Art von Hotel, in das ich auf jeden Fall wieder gehen werde. Wirklich zu schätzen ist dieser persönliche und freundliche Service. Das Hotel ist perfekt gelegen. In der Nähe des Hauptbahnhofs und der Fluss Limmat im alten Zentrum mit vielen Bars, Restaurants und Geschäfte. Ich kann dieses Hotel wärmstens empfehlen.
Uwe I, Geschäftsmann, Köln, Deutschland
A very clean, welcoming and perfectly located hotel. Has the all the essentials a traveler (or a couple) may need, without needless extras. The price, is accordingly, easy on the pocket (for Zurich). We will be definitely returning.
Jonathan R, Businessman, London, UK
Ob ich ein Kaffee trinken möchte oder ein Cocktail… ist immer ein super Wahl. Professionelle und freundliche Bedienung! Weiter so!
Márk v, Student, Zürich, Schweiz
Hotel is conveniently located, close to Zurich main station and the river. Checking in was easy and quick. Our room was a good size and well decorated, over looking the square. The bed was a proper king size, not two singles put together which is more common on the Continent. They had a good selection of alternative pillows to use, including the type I have at home. The toiletries in the bathroom were lovely and I was very tempted to take them with me. The bar area is fun and staff charming. I would definitely come back and recommend this hotel to those who need a central location and enjoy a fun atmosphere.
Marita, Couple, Hongkong, China
Charmantes Boutique Hotel im Herzen der Altstadt. Wir liefen überall hin. Das Zimmer war klein, aber sehr komfortabel und hatte einen schönen Balkon mit Blick auf die Strasse mit Kopfsteinpflaster. Das Personal in der Bar und an der Rezeption waren sehr hilfsbereit, freundlich und höflich. Ich kann dieses Hotel wärmstens empfehlen. Es ist ein tolles Preis-Leistungs -Verhältnis.
ChicTrav 05, Geschäftsfrau, Chicago, USA
Decided to drop by, when we saw crowded terrace(and it was quite cold and windy night!). Inside whole place was packed! Still we got our drinks quite fast and even found ourselves seat. Nice feeling and ambience, so we left happy. Great location in Old town of Zürich, near Riverside and little walk from Main Railway Station
Halkidis, Traveller, Naantali, Finnland
Wenn wir Zeit haben kommen wir gerne mit Freunden auf eine Erfrischung im Platzhirsch vorbei; besonders der hausgemachte Eistee wurde bisher von allen sehr gerühmt! Ich persönlich schätze besonders den guten Kaffee.
DagmaruMoritz, Privatiers, Zürich, Schweiz
Tomei café da manhã neste restaurante e a variedade de comida era ótima! Uma seleção de excelentes queijos suíços, vários produtos lactose free, pães e suco de laranja. O preço é acessível e o local é lindo!
Gabimoniz, Viajante, Sao Paulo, Brasil
I travel for business pretty much and can say it is one of most friendly hotels I have ever been. I choose a classic room, with nice view on the square. It wasn’t very noisy according to the location. Good breakfast, nice service, very fast internet, digital information on tablets in the room! Very good! I will be back.
