Our stay at the Hotel Alexander couldn't have been better. Fantastic location, Staff couldn't do enough for you & the breakfast was a wonderful start to the day, thank you
Lovely centrally located traditionally built hotel. Rooms have everything you need - we only stayed one night on a stop over to Austria. Really helpful and welcoming staff - we arrived early to ask to leave our bags but were advised our room was ready so we were able to use it straightaway. Breakfast was a wider range than I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise and delicious too. I would recommend this hotel and it’s only about 10mins from main railway station.
Great location with easy walking access to all the main attractions. I stayed on the second floor, and late at night I could hear people talking on the street. Other than that, the staff were friendly and the continental breakfast was nice.
Rooms were clean with plenty of room and an in-room coffee maker. Great front desk staff, knowledgeable about local things to see and helpful with requests for parking.
Lovely smaller 3 star hotel in old town. Excellent location, service and comfortable rooms. We very much enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay again.
Hotel is nicer in person than it is online. Incredibly clean. Front desk was very helpful. Bed was a little thin, perhaps, too firm for me. Breakfast was good, but the attendant was a bit off-putting. No greeting, just grilled me to see if I was a hotel guest. How else would I have gotten to the second floor of the hotel? Otherwise, everything else was 10 out of 10.
Location, location, location. The hotel is located in the heart of Old Town and within walking distance to all main areas. 10-15 min walk to the main train station.
Staff was friendly too.
There was construction outside the hotel but it's out of their control as we saw construction going on around all over Old Town area.

Central location
Well located in central area with sites and restaurants close by.
Staff very helpful and nice, rooms small but that is old town Zurich so expected. Breakfast good with variety. Cofffe and tea available all the time and even apples offered throughout the hotel. Very central in old town Zurich. Parking very difficult, but again expected in such a place. Again, staff helpful to help parking.

Staff at this hotel were awesome! As a tourist didn’t speak the language and had never been to Zürich before, they were so helpful! Loved the availability of fresh bean brewed coffee, and the location in the old town. Near a tram stop and Christmas market. Very convenient. Loved it.
