Hotel Alexander

We stayed for only one night, visiting the Christmas market in Zurich, and the hotel was ideally located for us to walk easily to all the different markets. It was clean, breakfast was good and it ticked all the boxes. We are pleased with our choice as base for the Markets.

Small rooms but in the centre so close to all that you need, which is a plus. We chose this location for the Christmas markets and we weren't disappointed. Hotel also offers free flowing water in the lobby.

We had a great stay! The location is perfect, about a 10 minute walk from the main train station and central to a lot of attractions. The hot breakfast was delicious and the staff were all very welcoming!

Our last night here and a genuinely lovely experience. The hotel is a really good 3 star establishment. Staff are friendly and helpful, providing us with free city WiFi and adapters for our devices. Breakfast is lovely and the hotel is central to all Zurich’s Christmas attractions. Absolutely no complaints,

The hotel does exactly what it needs to clean, functional rooms without any major luxuries, and a breakfast that’s fair for what you pay. The real highlight is the location: right in the city center, with everything just a short walk away. Perfect if you’re looking for convenience and a straightforward stay.

We selected this hotel from the internet while in the US. It is perfectly situated amongst shopping and restaurants. We could not have picked a better location to stay. The hotel is clean, safe and it had everything. There are three convenience stores and a pharmacy within one block. The breakfast in the morning was a buffet style hot breakfast with cold cuts, local breads, cheese and dairy products. There was a great selection of espressos and coffees as well. We could not have been happier with our selection!!! Highly recommended for your stay!!!!

The hotel itself is in a great location. The rooms are small which is fine, and it was really nice that the beverages and snacks in the mini fridge were complementary. The bed was not the best - sorta hard and old. Also, the room was extremely stuffy and had a musty smell - so it was nice to open the windows, but because we were in the room RIGHT over the front entry way to the hotel, all the staff/restaurant people next door smoked nonstop right out front there and that came in our room so we just dealt with the stuffiness. The breakfast room is very cramped and everyone was bringing their suitcases in so that made it more squished BUT the breakfast was decent. Our last morning we woke up to dripping from the ceiling in the bathroom - the front desk was quick to respond and turns out the person in the room above us decided to flood their bathroom with a long shower...luckily we had an early train ride and just got the heck out of there! Set your expectations a bit low, and you might be quite happy with your experience here lol.

Situated on a pedestrian-only street within walking distance of Zurich Central Railway Station, Hotel Alexander offers an ideal base for exploring the city. Despite its central location near a bustling area, the hotel maintains a quiet and relaxing atmosphere throughout. The staff were exceptionally friendly and consistently attentive, enhancing the overall guest experience. Breakfast was satisfactory, and the hotel's location provides easy access to a wide range of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options.

This hotel was perfect for a 2 night stay to explore Zurich. Convenient location, less than a 10 minute walk from the station, and a great base to walk around the city. We had a twin room on the 2nd floor which was compact but had everything we needed. The room was clean and quiet, and the beds were super comfortable.

Location great. Breakfast great & staff replenished cooked food often. Supplied loan of electrical adaptors which was appreciated. As mentioned on lots of reviews a/c is not great in 4th floor attic rms. We had booked a family room & were really hoping for another floor but you guessed it we got the 4th floor. It was bearable with the supplied fan at 23°c but I'd imagine really difficult in hotter weather. Did day trip to Lucerne which was lovely. Zurich is a beautiful expensive city but if we came again we would ensure hotel choice had good a/c & onsite bar/lobby for evening, even if it meant a slightly higher cost. Life's too short.
