Ask for a room on the upper floors to reduce noise from the lively street below at night.

Excellent Location and Friendly Service
I really enjoyed my stay! The location is fantastic, with a variety of restaurants and cafes just steps away. The staff was incredibly friendly, and they even provided free tickets to local attractions. The breakfast spread included delicious options like fresh pastries and made-to-order eggs. However, the noise from the street early in the morning was a slight distraction.

Diving into Zurich's dining scene was a delight! Just a hop away, I found cozy spots like Walliser Keller for hearty Swiss grub and a delightful taste of the local hot pots. A great breakfast awaits, though a sneaky coffee machine in the lobby was a caffeine lover's dream.
However, the breakfast could use a makeover—burnt sausage and croissants that were a hard pass left me craving my grocery store finds back home.

The Hotel Alexander Zurich Old Town features a charming, modern decor with easy accessibility for seniors, making it a comfortable base for exploring. The complimentary coffee station with fresh fruits at the entrance was a delightful touch during my stay.
A wider breakfast variety would be appreciated for seniors.

During our stay, we visited the zoo and it was fantastic! My teenagers were thrilled to see exotic animals up close. The hotel's breakfast had an amazing variety, and the location made it easy to explore Zurich's charming streets. Perfect spot for a family!
My kids wished the breakfast area was bigger. it got quite crowded. A suggestion for the hotel would be to add more seating for families during peak times.

Friendly, accommodating staff made for a warm welcome, assisting with luggage at check-in. The location is excellent, with easy walking access to nearby attractions and public transport. Breakfast included a lovely selection of refreshments, and the free entry to a local art museum was a delightful perk. However, room sizes can be compact, which might be limiting for those who prefer more space. Additionally, those traveling with larger luggage may find the walking distance from the main train station a bit challenging.

Ideal choice for a short break in Zurich with all in all brilliant value for money. The nearby restaurants had amazing food options, making it easy to find a nice place to eat after a day of exploring. Be prepared for some street noise on weekends if you’re facing the main road.

Had a great time with friends! We explored the zoo, which was amazing, and enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere. The hotel's location was perfect, making it easy to walk to various attractions. The breakfast was a highlight, and staff were friendly and helpful. Just a heads up to future guests, parking isn’t directly on-site, but there is an underground garage nearby.
One minor issue was the noise from the alley early in the morning, which disrupted our sleep.

excellent city access just steps from old town and train station
During my stay, I loved that it was only 500 meters from the main train station and right in the heart of the old town, making it super convenient for strolling through the charming streets and discovering local cafes. the staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful, which made my experience even better.

Amazing stay with top-notch service!
I had a fantastic 3-night stay. The staff was super friendly, especially at the front desk. they helped me a lot. Also, I loved the breakfast options—I’m vegan, and they had plenty for me. Just a heads up, the area can get a bit noisy, but the rooms are pretty soundproof.

Fantastic location right in the heart of the old town, making it easy to explore local sights and grab a bite after a long day. Easy access to public transport with the main station just minutes away, perfect for getting around the city quickly.
The breakfast room feels cramped, especially during busy hours. it’s a race to snag a seat before the line forms. Rooms are noticeably smaller than depicted in photos, which might be a hassle for those with larger luggage. Noise from the pedestrian streets continues into the night, and early morning vacuuming can be a rude awakening since the housekeeping closet is nearby.
Tourists from United States of America often stay at these properties. Consider them for your next trip.
