Hotel Alexander Zurich Old Town

Nice room close to train station.

The street was so loud at night even into the early morning it was impossible to sleep

Hotel was quaint and in a superb old town location. Desk chair was comfortable and experience was overall a good one.

Great location! Staff very nice. Breakfast is excellent! There is also a minibar with coffee, tea and fruits. Highly recommend.

Location and breakfast

Rooms were very small

Location and cleanliness

The location is perfect

All Staff were freindly and very informative.Rooms were clean Breakfast was all fresh and good variation with polte staff.Location was excellent very close to the station and other amenities.

One room we stayed in was cold as the heating wasnt working, after a few days we mentioned this and they promptly provided a heater.

There is no escaping the fact that Zurich is an expensive place, so it is not easy to find a good hotel that charges less than €300 per night and has a practical location.Hotel Alexander does.In the middle of the most popular street in Old Town and within walking distance of most major attractions - including the train station (600m, walkable if you don't have heavy luggage) - it is very convenient.The property is old and the hotel has to function within the constraints of the building ; that means tiny foyer, small rooms, mini & slow lift and narrow corridors.On arrival, I explained to the friendly receptionist that we were on a 6-week trip and had substantial luggage. He was most understanding and gave us the option of chosing between 2 rooms, which we inspected. Frankly, both were very small, but we very much appreciated his flexibility. We picked room 203 and organised best we could. It overlooked the square in front and had the facilities that you come to expect : small fridge, safe and TV with good choice of channels (including international and apps). The bathroom was similarly compact, but hygienicaclly tiled floor-to-ceiling and a heating rack for the white towels.Breakfast is in a small room on the 2nd floor, where 1 woman works extremely hard to keep up. Not the most extensive buffet, but you won't walk out hungry.The Alexander ticked most of our boxes for a 2-night stay in Zurich. In other cities you'd expect much higher standards for that sort of money, but for Zurich they offer good value for money.

Old building, small room

Bad

This hotel initially mentioned that the rooms would be warm, but on the first night the heating system stopped working. The room was very cold and I caught the flu. The manager couldn’t provide me with a heater at that time. They gave me a heater the next day, but it was already too late.

Superb location and very friendly staff

Next to the breakfast room was quite noisy, but that didn’t mare our stay

Great location, clean and comfortable hotel, free tea and coffee all the day in the lobby, good breakfast.

Rooms are quite small Most of the area outside is under construction/renovations

The best point of stay was always smiled and helpful lady in reception desk.Good location.

Little too noisy

Very clean helpful staff

More varied breakfast would be nice

Great location, good value and the lovely staff made me very welcome

The hotel is located in the old town and it was very close to most places of interest in Zurich. The breakfast is also very good.

Location is great, you can walk the whole old town areaGood breakfast Clean room with nice touch of free drinks and coffee and tea

Great location in Zurich Old Town. Very clean, modern, comfortable room. Check in was easy. Front desk staff friendly and helpful. Very nice buffet breakfast with plenty of variety.

Off site parking was a little inconvenient, but not bad. Would be nice if parking attendant could park and fetch the car, but alas, it was only couple blocks away.

Location was great: close to the train station, shops, supermarket, and restaurants. The room was great, and especially the staff were one of the best!

There was nothing I didn't like.

Great location. Friendly staff, good selection at breakfast (including some hot items). Hot drinks available from reception area as opposed to facilities for making in the bedroom. Spacious and clean room.

Great location, clean rooms, friendly staff. They offered us free drinks in the room. The breakfast was also excellent . I totally recommend it
