"very close to all the shopping and transportation."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
Liked the hotel, first room, the bathroom too small for comfort. They did change our room without a problem, for a room that was slightly bigger with a larger bathroom. We were very satisfied. I would consider this hotel again. It is so close to trams and the main station. Also department store across the street. Very quiet for a downtown hotel.

Very friendly service
"Right in the Heart of Things"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
The Alexander is a short walk from the train station and convenient to all the fun of the Old Town in Zurich. We were given an upgrade from the Guesthouse to the Main Hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable. We were right among the cobblestone alleys of the Old Town and only 5 minutes walk from the shopping along Bahnhofstrasse. We'll stay at the Alexander again on our next trip.
The staff was very unfriendly. We called them from airport for directions but they did not provide. When we reached they did not give us the room that we booked. After we told them that we will checkout they gave us the room. Very bad serviceGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Three Star"
The rooms and public areas were not of a four star standard but they were very clean and the bathroom was good. My room was small and poorly lit and the desk was very small to work at for several hours each day. The decor and atmosphere of the room and hotel was entirely functional, but clinical and somewhat sterile, not especially welcoming ; my non […] smoking room smelled of cigarette smoke throughout my stay, possibly from recycled air or from someone smoking on the balcony next door. The reception staff were polite and efficient but not particularly friendly or helpful. The price was good but the hotel does not compare with other 4 star hotels. In particular, owing to my working visit to Zurich, I would have preferred to stay somewhere with more room and a bigger workspace. The location is very good, 15 minutes from the city centre in a nice area undergoing transformation with new bars, restaurants, residential buildings and schools, all of which made for an interesting neighbourhood.

"close to all trams and stations and town"
Switzerland is very expensive to eat out but the tram tickets were very reasonable and easy to hop on and off. the hotel had british tv so that was a bonusGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Easy to reach, comfortable hotel"
I spent one night at this hotel and found my stay to be enjoyable. The hotel is very easy to find...just a short walk from Hardbrucke station. The in-house italian restaurant was very good. Our waiter was very accomodating and the food was delicious. If you fancy going out for a drink after dinner there are quite a few bars just outside the hotel. Even […] though there are bars in the area, the room was nice and quiet and I had a good rest. I would definitely recommend this hotel as it is just one stop away from the Zurich main station, so you are not far away from sights and you pay less than if you choose a hotel in the heart of the city.

"nickel and dimeing guests"
For a four star hotel I would have expected free internet access at least in their business centre computer, but even there they charge five dollars for 1 hour access. If you want internet access in your room they charge you about twenty dollars per 24h access.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"very tired hotel needs serious attention"
This place needs a serious uplift especially for the costs! The rooms and hallways are very tired and it feels more like an old school than a professional hotel. I was very disappointed with the beds with a big wooden frame stick up so I could not sit on end of bed. Very poor. I will not stay there again. For the money there are a lot of other choices […] to consider in Zurich. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK"
In terms of location, this hotel was convenient to the offices I had to visit, and is also not far from the Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) by tram, which stops about 100m away. For a hotel in Zurich, it was relatively cheap, and it was clean and comfortable enough. As others have reported, the area around the hotel is a little noisy, but certainly not […] enough to stop me from sleeping - even in a room at the front of the hotel with the windows open. Staff were very helpful - providing a power adaptor and iron / ironing board for free, and quickly (I've had to pay for both of these in Zurich before!). WiFi was also free, which is (in my experience) unusual in Switzerland. Only downside was really the age of the hotel - it's looking a little tired, but I guess that's part of the reason for the lower price! :) All in all, I'd recommend it for a lower-price business hotel!

"Value alternative to city cenre hotels"
If you need a cheaper quality hotel in Zurich, then this is the place. Only a few 100m from Hardbrucke railway station it is only one stop from the main station, & saves you about £70 / night in equivalent city centre hotels. We walked into the city as well & it only took 15 minutes. Great for the new & exciting ZuriWest area of town as well (where […] the bars stay open later!). Rooms were reasonably spacious, very clean, & had all the ameneties expected for a hotel of this class. Recommended. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Good food and service"
God for a few nights. Friendly, helping and smiling staff. Good food in the restaurant. Our rom was near the elevator. Much noise. Airconditioner also very loud. Safe in rom ok, bathroom ok. We took the tram sound the corner (Three times right) to the city centre. Day tikket recommended.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Unimpressive"
Okay, first the good points: 1) for Zurich, the hotel was reasonably priced; 2) the room was adequately clean and comfortable. Now the not so good ones: 1) 20 minutes from the city centre; 2) the safe that was meant to be in the room wasn't there; 3) Reception wasn't helpful when I pointed this out; 4) the most notable feature of the neighbourhood is […] a main road fly-over. To summarise in a word: unimpressive. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"a very enjoyable experience"
very well situated in relation to the airport and the town with excellent travel links to both. staff were always very obliging and courteous the hotel facilities were superb. the only drawback was occasional noise from the courtyard adjoining the pub.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not impressed"
Quite cheap for Zurich standards, but wont stay here again... the rooms towards the street are very noisy; together with the overheated rooms and the bad pillows i got a quite miserable sleep; requesting an ironing board was not possible after 11pm, which is a bit questionable for a so called 4 star property; staff efficient but not particularly fr […] iendly Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"very good hotel but definitely not 4 stars"
the location is very good, the room is good as well, the restaurant it's ok but the food not very delicious, recommended for couples who want to have fun and enjoy the weekend.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Basic, close to public transport"
No place to rave about, quite small and dated room, not overly friendly and very expensive - but its like that in Zurich everywhere so I found this to be one of the better value options. Even if in another city you'd obviously find much better hotels for this price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"should not be described as a 4 star hotel"
when we go their the receptionist was on the phone and did not even look up to acknowledged that we were the, considering there was a few us waiting for. some of us gust could not understand the language but we could tell she was having a personal conversation with the person on the other end. once you have checked in first thing they said is that the […] rooms were non-smoking, however the all hotel smelled of cigarette from the entries to the lift all the way to the room, at one time the we had to go out and get clean towels and some soap because no one made the bed or even charged the room. however is you have already booked yourself into the hotel like me without reading the review first, don't worry all you have to do from the airport is bed the train S2 or any other to the main station then get tram number 13 going toward the museum and get off after Denmbac (probably didn't spell it right but it sound something like that), anyway its about 10 min and the all journy from the airport to the hotels is 12CHF one-way.

"Hotel Senator in Zurich"
It only takes 5 tram stops from the main station so the location is not too bad. However, a bar is next to it so it is very noisy at night. I have no choice but turn on the air-con under 13 degree C. Those pub-goers keep shouting and singing. The hotel room was quite dirty, the toilet was quite dusty. THe most unbearable thing was that I found my door […] was not locked one night when I went back to the hotel. The housekeeper did not get it locked! I did not miss anything, but you just felt insecured. As a 4=star hotel, it charges quite a lot, how can they provide such service? Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not 4 stars as it says..."
If it says 4 star hotel, you expect one. That's the reason I was not happy. If it had said 3 star (which I would rate it), I wouldn't be so critical. It said 'convenient location'. I don't know about others, but to me, this area looked very industrial, nothing around. We have to walk 30 minutes to the city centre. It might be convenient if you take […] a tram, so nothing to complain. There is a parking for the car, but they charge when you check-out and they also charge for the city-tax, which I didn't know. The staff was not extremely friendly, but they did their job. You ask a question, they answer - nothing more (not a smile...). If you know all that - and you expect what you'll get, that's fine. But just don't go expecting what they advertise, otherwise you'll be disappointed. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Well equipped hotel in a slightly noisy location"
This hotel is a short walk to the tram into the city. However there is a bar next door that plays quite loud music late into the night and the patrons are mostly outside on the footpath.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
