Welcome back to Zurich
We returned here for the first time since 2019 because of Covid and we received an enthusiastic welcome from the front desk staff. It is this hospitality that makes Hotel Alexander a favorite of ours.

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.

8/10 Very Good

Good Location, Good People
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.

Check in clerk especially helpful—scheduled a taxi for the morning. Breakfast was very nice—scrambled eggs looked like real scrambled eggs. Enjoyed the complimentary beers and mineral water. Easy walk from the train station. Lots of nearby places to eat and drink

2/10 Poor

Terrible
Really small rooms & they charge per person. This is the only hotel in old town to do this. The others do not charge per person. They charge per room. I booked a queen room & then was like now the price is different. This is bait & switch. Front desk girl checking us in was super rude. She was on phone & finally I was like hello can I just check in?! If I hadn’t paid for room I would’ve left. We paid for breakfast & did not eat it. No coffee maker in room. One pillow. Not comfy for a couple. I will not stay here again. It has an old town location but should be rated 2 stars or less.
