Great location + Helpful Staff”
Great location. Right in Old Town along a streeer of restaurants and shops. One block from the scenic river. Easy walk to the main train station. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Only cons are - the rooms are quite small - I did a standard full room (but Zurich is an expensive city hotels with bigger room cost a lot more). Also there is no lounge area.

A great 3 star Hotel”
Cleanliness, Room size and lot of restaurants around the hotel
This is a last minute decision to switch to this hotel and i made the right choice. This is a hotel along the old town of Zurich which is clean and room size is above average as compare to city area hotels. But the breakfast is simple and the price is abit high, It will be great if the price can be lower.

Very clean & cute!”
Staff was great; rooms were small but super efficient with the placement of the light switches, etc. Bathrooms and rooms looked very modern and recently renovated. My only minor issues were that the I could hear my neighbor's door closing and voices from my door, and the very cobbled (but cute) street I had to walk a ways on with my suitcase which was very tough. Otherwise, great location near the central station and would stay again.

Room bookings are including free buffet breakfast with good range of items. The free coffee table at the entrance was a life saver.

location, hospitality, room
We (a family of 8, incl 2 toddlers) stayed for 2 nights then off to other parts of Europe then back for another night, during which the hotel nicely upgraded all our 3 rooms. Location was perfectly in the city center and within walking distance to interesting places. The staffs were all helpful and resourceful. The only downside is that if you come by taxi, you need to drag the luggages across the street due to its one-way street condition.
Overall everything was great, we just had a bit of unpleasant experience when the receptionist forbid my wife to bring in outside food (she was carrying some sandwiches meant to be consumed in the room). I dont know whether this is really the rule or the receptionist was just having a bad day

walking distance to train station, very clean, in the center of the old city
We really enjoyed Hotel Alexander. We only stayed one night as we were on our way back from Zermatt, and we had to fly out the next morning. We wanted a hotel in the middle of everything, so we could walk and quickly take in the sights. This hotel was perfect.
It was a short (7 min) walk to the train station, where we easily caught a train to the airport. There are plenty of great restaurant around. It is on a pedestrian street, so it is very quiet. We walked everywhere. Breakfast was delicious with a good selection of items. Extremely clean, comfortable, and friendly. We very highly recommend this hotel.

Reasonably priced by Zurich standards for a spacious room, again by Zurich standards and quiet too despite being positioned in the thick of it in a busy and viby restaurant and bar precinct of the old town. Close to central station and all the main sights of central Zurich. Recommended.

Location is a little bit far from main station, price and a little bit noisy
Good place to stay! located in the center of the city and very easy to go to many points of interest. The most important thing... shopping places is just right in front of the hotel. However, it was a little bit far from the main station but it was not that bad if you walk without any suitcase. Close to many good restaurants and very easy to find something to eat. However, there were so many night clubs around the hotel so it was a little bit noisy and we needed to close the window. Lucky us that when we were there, the weather was nice so we were Ok with closing window without air conditioner. Also, the breakfast was as great as you satisfy with it and you can just walk for few minutes to go shopping. Nice room and good service, great place to stay!! The only bad thing is room price is a little bit high but worth paying!
