Hotel Alexander Zurich Old Town

Great location - only about 5mins walk from Zurich HB, and great location within the city to see all the sights. My room was lovely, nice view, bathroom and everything else was perfect. There’s a safe and minibar, water in the minibar was definitely free, although possibly everything in it was. Mini toblerones left on the pillow was a lovely touch. International power sockets in case you don’t have a Swiss plug. The woman who checked me in and worked on reception (I didn’t catch her name) was so kind, welcoming and ready to help with anything, thank you to her! You can leave your bags after checking in. Breakfast included and has a good selection - yoghurt, hot eggs, bacon etc. and more. Really would recommend staying here, lovely place!

This is a very nice place to stay. The location is central old town with many sights, bars and restaurants nearby and Lake Zurich an easy walk away. Public transport (central train station, tram stops and Polybahn cable car) are also very close by. All the staff were friendly and helpful. WiFi worked perfectly and I was offered the use of a free mobile hotspot device as mobile data roaming was problematic, given that Switzerland is not in the EU. The breakfast offered was tasty and more than adequate, and because I had to leave the hotel too early to be able to have breakfast on several mornings, the staff put together a "lunchbox" that was delivered to the fridge in my room every day. Coffee, tea and water were available free of charge 24/7 in the lobby. My room was compact but very well designed with attention to detail; plenty of clothes hangers (and not the mean variety without a hook either : ), towel rails and heaters, a magnifying mirror in the bathroom, plenty of sockets (some with permanent power and adaptors for various different plugs) and of course a comfortable bed. If/when I return to Zurich, I won't hesitate to stay here again!

The hotel is a family owned small hotel. The staff at the reception welcomed us warmly. The room was modernly decorated and very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. They offer free drinks at the minibar. Coffee machine is available at the entrance for free tea and coffee. The apples served at the reception were delicious. The breakfast was reasonable. The staff was always nice to everyone. The location is close to many places. There are cafes and restaurants at every corner. It was a very pleasant stay for us. Could not find anything to criticize.

In the heart of Zurich's atmospheric Old Town. A smallish and simply furnished room, but with many thoughtful details that made it a very comfortable and pleasant stay. Although a single room, the bed was comfortable and a very generous size. Plug sockets for various countrys' plug types are built in (including UK). I had requested a kettle in the room, and found it waiting for me there. Some complementary drinks are provided in the mini-fridge, and free self-service tea/coffee is provided in the entrance foyer at any time. Inclusive breakfast was standard fare and of very decent quality. Would be very happy to return and recommend.

Staff are great! Special Thanks to a young lady who is working on front desk, and she is kind, patient and professional! I saw her answering customers questions with big smile on her face and she explained which is a good bar and which is a good restaurant might suit the customer patiently. I didn’t have chance to learn her name, and I was not able to say goodbye and thanks to her when I checked out. She saw me to go downstairs to get hot water over and over so that she gave me a electric water kettle which helped me A LOT! Thank you! The location is fabulous! It is very easy to go anywhere I need! Breakfast is good too!
