The hotel is quite basic but has everything that we needed during our short visit. The location is very ideal especially for doing a lot of day trips to other places.

Hotel Alexander is in the center of restaurant rows, close to the train station and shopping that makes it very convenient for guests. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay again here on our next visit to Zurich.
HELEN, 6-night trip

Easy to go around all attractions. Friendly staff
stanley, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Harry, 2-night trip

Clean sheets, free espresso, good looking director!
Sarina, 4-night trip

Easily walk from Zurich HB our take a tram to hotel with just two stops. Rooms are clean and breakfast is very good. Small hotel but centrally located. I can easily walk to the water adn see beautiful view both day and night. I just stay for one night but they offer me a free parking. Recommend stay even for one single day stay.

Good location, Mostly Friendly staff (Did not care for the attitude of the man that was at the front desk on Wed Aug 3rd in the evening, he was rude. Otherwise the front desk staff was exceptional especially the lady that checked us in on Mon Aug 1st. Location was perfect. Breakfast was good.

Very Good Hotel in excellent location

Hotel is in a very central location in old town. Room was modern, comfortable and clean. I felt the a/c was not cooling enough and they inmediately placed a fan in our room which helped to circulate the cool air. So I must recognize they have very good service. Also, I like they included breakfast with eggs, bacon and sausages.
