What guests think
Hotel Alexander Zurich Old Town earns praise for its walkable Old Town location near the main station, clean and compact rooms, and friendly, helpful staff, with many guests also appreciating the included breakfast and complimentary touches like coffee and minibars.
A recurring downside is nighttime noise from nearby bars or street works, especially in street-facing rooms, and several guests found the air conditioning underpowered. Breakfast is generally well liked, though a few describe it as basic and there are isolated complaints. Expect a straightforward, well-located base for exploring Zurich.

Very impressed with this hotel. We booked a twin room and arrived around midnight to a friendly and efficient welcome. The room was a good size and the complementary first stocking of the mini-bar was a pleasant surprise. There's also a hot drinks machine in reception that's available for use. Lots of towels, comfortable bed and a good shower, though I cut my leg on the sharp corners of the beds - so beware of those! Breakfast was complementary and offered a good, well-stocked selection of all the usual items. Overall, much better than a standard 3* hotel and I'd return again.

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.

Perfectly situated in Old Town between Christmas villages at Opera house, train station & church. 10 minute walk to Singing Tree. Patient knowledgeable staff (Elias, Mark, & Oscar). Delicious American breakfast included. Room size typical for Europe. Free water (sparkling/still) & coffee in lobby 24/7. Steps to restaurants for every taste. Clean, clean, clean.

Kjempe greit lite hotell, med perfekt beliggenhet. Koselig og service innstilt betjening ! En kjempe pluss er at hotellet tilbyr gratis 15gb wifi hotspot man kan låne med seg rundt i byen. Noe som er supert siden Sveits ikke er med i EU og det kan være dyrt med mobilt Internett. Skal nok bo der igjen neste gang.

Excellent location, walk to main train station and dozens of restaurants and cafes next to hotel. Room was small Europeans style, very comfortable and quiet. Excellent breakfast options included, eggs, bacon, sausages, breads, cheeses, meats, yoghurt etc. Front desk staff Katrina was super helpful and friendly. Hotel had plug converters for free to use to charge phones, and also free wifi hot spots to take when out in the city.

The hotel is located in the old town section of Zurich, surrounded by restaurants and shops. If you have a car then you need to reserve a space ahead of time, for a fee, if spot is available. Otherwise, you have to locate a parking lot, for a fee.

Parking is an adventure. Expecting to find parking at the hotel, I circled the block a few times trying to figure out what I was overlooking. I finally found somewhere to park and walk to the hotel. The staff was very nice, but I was instructed to pull in front of the hotel to unload our bags, then someone would show us where to park. The lady who rode with me and took me to the garage with the elevator I had to drive into was very nice. The man who took me back to get my car at the end of my stay was not particularly friendly, nor was he patient as I tried to drive a rental car I wasn’t exceedingly familiar with, into an elevator that felt like it barely fit. The hotel itself was nice though and in a good location.

Hotel was centrally located and walking distance from Zürich HB. Very nice area in old town and near plenty of restaurants and sights to see. Check in was quick and easy, with front desk available 24/7. Room was small (which was expected) and fairly clean, however the floors were quite dirty. Additionally, the attached hair dryer in the bathroom would only run for about 4-5 min at a time before overheating and needing 10 min to cool down. But for the price and location, I’d absolutely stay here again.

This hotel is a small hotel tucked into a cobblestone street in the center of Zurich. It is a pretty basic hotel with small rooms, and pretty expensive for what it is, but its location is excellent, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good, and it was clean. I would not say it’s ideal if you’re planning to spend a lot of time in the room or you expect fancy amenities, but it certainly is convenient and pleasant as a place to stay if you intend to be out and about.

クリスマスマーケットに行くために、このホテルに2泊した。チューリッヒ中央駅からは近く、徒歩圏内である。トラムを利用するとアクセスはもっと楽だろう。中庭に面した部屋で窓からは良い景色が見られるわけではなかったが、静かな環境を好むので私にとっては良かった。隣の部屋の物音が場所によって聞こえるが、許容レベルである。冷蔵庫があり、中のドリンクはフリーである。水だけでなくビールもあって、ホテルでの滞在を楽しめた。朝食は品数が多いわけではないが、その場で調理しているらしく、温かくて新鮮なものが提供されている印象である。

The only redeeming quality is the location. Will not be staying at this location again with the many other options in the same area.

Das Hotel liegt direkt in einer Straße , in der viele Bars sind. Bis in die Morgenstunden laufen viele betrunkene Menschen durch die Straße und grölen laut. An Schlaf ist da kaum zu denken. Dies bei der Buchung unbedingt berücksichtigen!!!! Im Zimmer ging der Fernseher nicht richtig und die Spülung in der Toilette war defekt. Nachdem wir den Portier darauf aufmerksam gemacht haben ließ er die Toilette reparieren. Den Fernseher könnte man nicht reparieren. Leider war nach dem nächsten Spülen die Toilette wieder defekt. Meinen Ärger darüber konnte der Portier gar nicht verstehen. Stattdessen sagte er mir, dass er gab nicht verstehen würde , dass ich die ganze Zeit „meckern“ würde. Eine Entschädigung oder eine Entschuldigung habe ich nicht erhalten.

Location
Exceptionally central in the Old Town, an easy walk to Zürich HB and trams, and surrounded by restaurants and shops. The lively area can bring late-night noise.

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.

Perfectly situated in Old Town between Christmas villages at Opera house, train station & church. 10 minute walk to Singing Tree. Patient knowledgeable staff (Elias, Mark, & Oscar). Delicious American breakfast included. Room size typical for Europe. Free water (sparkling/still) & coffee in lobby 24/7. Steps to restaurants for every taste. Clean, clean, clean.

Hotel was centrally located and walking distance from Zürich HB. Very nice area in old town and near plenty of restaurants and sights to see. Check in was quick and easy, with front desk available 24/7. Room was small (which was expected) and fairly clean, however the floors were quite dirty. Additionally, the attached hair dryer in the bathroom would only run for about 4-5 min at a time before overheating and needing 10 min to cool down. But for the price and location, I’d absolutely stay here again.

Walk out your door straight in the middle of the old town. This hotel as an a grade location. It was an easy 5 minute walk from the main train station and a 9 minute train journey to the airport. The old town area has an amazing vibe with lots of unique shops. From the hotel it is also a very short, picturesque walk across the bridge to the main designer shopping Street Bahnhofstrasse. The hotel itself was exceptionally welcoming. If your room is available when you arrive, they offer an early checkin. They also gave free mini bar in the room as well as the nice touch of a fruit bowl and free coffee machine in the foyer. The breakfast was typical Swiss style breakfast and good quality. Our room was clean and quiet (we were on the back side of the hotel so not sure what the front side is like). We would stay here again.

The hotel is centrally located in a very walkable area with shopping & dining options. Central train station nearby. It is a basic hotel. It was clean & safe. Air conditioning was not working during our visit in March which is fine if you open the windows. The issue is that the noise from the bars, restaurants & cars won't let you sleep with the windows open. Breakfast was basic & satisfactory. I found it pricey for what it was, but everything is Zurich is expensive. Overall, clean, central, convient hotel.

Excellent and helpful staff. Mr. Marc helped us with a few sightseeing plans and informed us about the local transportation ( trams ). The visit to zurich was successful due to this. Nice coffee machine in the lobby. Good breakfast. The room size is a bit smaller than other places, but it did not matter much. We are happy that we stayed there.

Hotel Alexander is a good place to stay, easy walk from the train station and close to shops and restaurants. Being in Old Town is convenient but also loud until the crowds go home at night. The coffee and water in the lobby are a nice addition.

Room was lovely and very functional if not large. Staff helpful and friendly. Perfect breakfast with hot and cold selections. Only complaint was some rooms close to alleys and blind loops where occasional groups of young drinkers party outside your window till dawn!!! Friday night I learned many “ new “ words. Saturday a little quieter thanks to the rain.I heard some other hotel guests moved to different rooms successfully. It’s holidays so sometimes it’s best to just grim and bare it. Great choice re location for a couple days in Zurich old town.
