Exceptional”
The room was clean and organized. The private bathroom was clean and came with amenities. My sister and I only stayed here one night, so we didn't need anything fancy. Hotel Alexander was a good fit for us! This was our first time in Zurich and we didn't do much research before coming. The front desk was very helpful in recommending a restaurant and telling us how to travel to our next location in Switzerland. The hotel is close to lots of shops and restaurants. We came during the summer and the sun didn't set until around 9 PM, so we spent more time walking around the area in the evening. This is located across from a restaurant so I could see people outside my window and people could look in; we just kept the white sheer curtains pulled and it was no problem. However, it was a little noisy due to the businesses outside when places were still open. Overall, we had a good experience staying here.
Dear Joanne We really appreciate that you took the time to write us your feedback. We would like to thank you for your praise, which motivates us all the more to continue doing everything we can to ensure that our guests feel at home at Hotel Alexander.

Absolutely perfect location with happy staff”
The hotel is located at the Old Town, surrounded by many restaurants, shops, convenient stores, etc. The staff are incredibly helpful with our needs and gave recommendations on what to do in Zurich especially Luigi, who let us borrow the hotel's pocket wifi. Staying connected with my family was a big plus, esp when the older kids start to wander in shopping areas. We will definitely come back to this hotel next year! Danke, Hotel Alexander ❤️
Dear Kathleen Thank you so much for taking the time to write this nice review. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay so much and that you spoke so positively about our staff. It is also nice that you were able to enjoy our central location. The location in the middle of the beautiful old town of Zurich means proximity to the main railway station, the Limmat and the lakeside promenade. The renowned Bahnhofstrasse and the university are within easy reach. And the diversity of the culinary offer in Niederdorf is hard to beat. We hope you will remember Zurich positively and look forward to welcoming you as our guest again! Rina and Team-Alexander

quiet, well positioned, clean and comfortable”
What a pleasant surprise. 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.
A great 3 star 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.
Good Service for tourist ”
Good : best services , staffs always help us if possible , free wifi hotspot , cleanness , reasonable price and near station . Provide free water in lobby place . Free apple fruit . If I visit in Zurich again , of course I’ll sleep in this hotel .

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.
Dear Rachelle We were very pleased to receive your compliment. Above all, that you took the time to address positive words to our central location and friendly staff. Please be our guest once again and benefit from amenities such as our mobile hotspots and free entry to Zurich Zoo. We send all the best from Zurich, Rina & the Team Alexander
Goo dplace to stay”
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!
Clean hotel in an excellent location”
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.

Fantastic location ans very cosy rooms”
The place was excellently located within walking distances to the central train station and right in the middle of the city. Staff were friendly and the rooms cosy for the price. Breakfast selection was slightly limited but still ok in comparison to the price point Overall i love the place and will be back for sure

Great location”
good location of the hotel, clean and nice. the staff was very nice, easy to communicate. close to the old town of Zurich, easy to take a walk around the town. recommanded.
Contemporary clean city hotel”
The hotel is perfectly located in the old town of Zurich, and is within walking distance to the new town, shopping areas, train station, and the pier. Even though it is located in a fairly busy street, windows are double glazed so we didn't get disturbed by the noise. Although breakfast lacks variety, the quality was good. The staff, although helpful, did not seem very friendly. Having said that, it is value for money for its location and its contemporary interior design in the rooms.
Excellent”
Nice place, close to HB ~15 min walk. Clean, good breakfast, rooms not very big but have all the regular appliances you need - good value considering you’re in Zurich

Very good”
Good location, less than 10 mins walk from Zurich HB or could take a tram No.4 which is 2 stops away from the hotel. Comfortable bed, very clean rooms and friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Room is slightly small to fully open 2 large luggages.

Great lively location and very scenic”
Location on the old town of Zurich is amazing, but the cobblestone roads are not very easy to navigate when you have luggages.

a family of 8, incl 2 toddlers”
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
Nice stay”
You get what you paid for. Of course this is not 5 star hotel. Don’t expect such things from here. Room is small. But Staffs are nice and room is clean. Complimentary breakfast is very small selection of food but you get enough. If you think of the price of the things in general in Switzerland, I think it’s great.
Excellent Hotel”
Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Rooms are good sized, air conditioned and very clean. Very good breakfast and walking distance to numerous restaurants and bars. They provide a hotspot Wifi gadget to take around the city, which is such a great idea.
