    Everything was great, had a great stay. Everybody was welcoming. Our small king room was functional, fashionable. Quick check-in was a bonus. Furthermore, the parking was on-site and convenient. It was ideally located about 15 min walk to a historical museum and 10 min walk to Main Zurich train station.

    This hotel in the heart of the Old Town is a great find. The location is perfect, with all the attractions of the city within walking distance. The rooms are comfortable and come with air conditioning, which was a life-saver during the hot weather. The basic amenities, including a fridge, made our stay more convenient. The breakfast, with delicious scrambled eggs and excellent coffee, was a great way to start the day.

    No major issues, everything was satisfactory.

    The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the city, making it incredibly convenient for exploring. It's just a short walk from the central tram station and surrounded by a vibrant restaurant strip. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with excellent double glazing that keeps out any noise from nearby bars and restaurants. The staff are friendly and welcoming, with a family-like atmosphere. The breakfast offers a good selection of food, including bread, pastries, and even bacon and eggs.

    Some guests have mentioned that the air conditioning in the rooms can be inadequate, which could make it a bit uncomfortable during hot weather.

    The hotel is situated very close to the central railway station, making it a convenient location. Within walking distance to restaurants and shops. The modern and clean rooms have air conditioning which is a definite plus. Breakfast offered is decent fresh with good variety.

    One reviewer mentioned the hotel room being noisy on weekends due to outside activity and lack of soundproofing.

    I had a great time at Hotel Alexander during my recent stay in Zurich. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, providing me with a kettle and iron for my room. The soundproofing in the rooms was excellent, which was especially important since there were several lively bars and restaurants nearby. The hotel's location was ideal, just a 5-minute walk from the train station and a Coop supermarket. The air conditioning in the rooms was a lifesaver during the hot weather. The wifi was also reliable and fast, making it easy for me to stay connected. I highly recommend this hotel.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    Great location in the heart of the city, within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and attractions. Very clean hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Spacious room for a family of three. Sumptuous breakfast with a wide variety of options.

    Zurich can be expensive, so keep in mind that the hotel is slightly overpriced for a 3-star accommodation. Rooms are on the smaller side compared to other hotels, but still comfortable enough for a short stay.

    As trekkers and a group of friends, we loved the hotel's close proximity to the train station and tram, making it convenient for exploring the city. The staff, especially Reni and her colleagues, were incredibly warm and welcoming. We appreciated the complimentary water and apples in the room, as well as the chocolate on the pillow. The bed and bathroom were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a good night's rest. And last but not least, the breakfast was absolutely delightful.

    Felt extremely welcomed, no reason to complain.
