This hotel is centrally located. From when we checked in to when we checked out, the hotel did not disappoint us. We ate at the hotel in the main restaurant/bar quite a bit and the food was very good. Our last night we ate in the King’s Cave and our meals were amazing. I would say do not miss out eating here during your stay or visit to Central Plaza Hotel. Staff is all areas are so friendly and welcoming, and very professional. This hotel was recommended by a friend who lives in Switzerland (stayed here every time in Zurich); and we are so glad he did. We will be recommending this hotel to anyone going to Zurich. We selected the bigger room over a balcony and were so happy we did. It provided us with the room and space we needed/wanted. You will not be disappointed staying here.
