Guest Reviews
- Yukio (8/5): -
- Christian (9/5): Zentral gelegen, alles in Gehdistanz - Zentral im Zürcher Niederdorf gelegenes Hotel mit Gästehaus-Dependence. Gut zu Fuss vom Bahnhof aus erreichbar, in Gehdistanz zu Uni Zürich und ETH Zürich sowie zur Altstadt. Freundliche Rezeption. Saubere, funktional eingerichtete Zimmer
- Sabine (7/5): Für eine Nacht in Ordnung - Zentrale Lage, ruhig für eine Nacht. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist nicht stimmig
- Nieminen (9/5): -
- Benjamin (10/5): - Great location, clean, comfortable, and updated room. Felt like a new hotel room in an older building. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
- Arno (7/5): Das Hotel hat ein gutes Preis Leistungs Verhältnis - Die Lage war super Könnte nicht sagen
- Kendall (7/5): - Great location, front desk staff super friendly and helpful. This is a no frills hotel, pretty basic and simple but what I need for just a 2 day stay.
- DÉBORA (9/5): Ótima localização, bem limpo e confortável, com tudo que precisávamos. - A localização era ótima, próximo à estação e os funcionários muito gentis, com destaque para Marc, muito gentil e acolhedor O quarto não ficava na sede do hotel e foi um pouco difícil encontrar a recepção. Tivemos de dar duas voltas no quarteirão até conseguir alguém na rua para nos indicar o endereço da recepção. Ao invés de deixar o endereço do quarto, podiam dar o da recepção, ficaria mais fácil.
- Michele (8/5): - Posizione -
- Asmah (9/5): - 房间宽敞,地理位置位于市中心、方便出行 周围略有点吵,不过配备了耳塞
- Kateryna (10/5): - Высоквалифицированный, добрый, отзывчивый персонал. Я Приехала чуть-чуть раньше положеного времени для заселения, меня заселили сразу, за что очень благодарна.
Номера просторные, идиально чисто, в номере 2 бутылочки миниральной воды, хорошие матрасы. Все на достойном уровне
- Jean-Daniel (9/5): -
- Anne Dutlinger (8/5): Great location & good value. - Excellent location. I was placed in their annex property which involved lugging my bag to and fro during the check in process. If you’re in the main part of the hotel, you have access to the coffee in the lobby. In the annex, there are no amenities. However, it is quieter.
Note there is no air conditioning at this hotel—it is not a good choice for the hot summer months.

- Juliana Beatriz (9/5): Predisposición y ubicación excelentes - Ubicación excelente y predisposión a ayudarnos con el desayuno y la conectividad en la ciudad Nos alojamos una pareja y nos dieron camas separadas. Pero todo lo demás está muy bien
- Allison (10/5): -
- Liliane (7/5): -
- umut (10/5): Harika bir konaklama deneyimi - Tesis şehir merkezine çok yakın, merkez tren istasyona 5-10 dk da yürüyerek ulaşabiliyorsunuz. Kesinlikle burayı tercih etmenizi öneririm eğer Zürihte konaklayacaksanız. Beğenmediğim herhangi bir şey yok😊

- Adriana (9/5): -
- Shakti (4/5): ENGAÑO. LAS HABITACIONES ESTABAN EN UN EDIFICIO SECUNDARIO. - La Habitacion estaba en un segundo edificio del Hotel. En Europa los hoteles tienen un edificio principal y otros secundarios. Las habitaciones estaban en el edificio secundario. Pesimo edificio. Ya nos paso varias veces que reservas una habitacion por Booking te muestran fotos del edificio principal, llegas y te encontras con un edificio pesimo.

- Alison (8/5): -
- Wail (8/5): -
- Karl-Heinz (8/5): Kommen gerne wieder - freundliches Personal, zentrale Lage in Limmat Nähe Wetter,Regen, teures Frühstück(haben verzichtet), schwierige und teure Garagenlösung
- Carlo (7/5): - La ubicación. El baño no tenía ventilación y las perillas de encendido de las lámparas de noche estaban en mal estado.
- Waldemar (7/5): - Wszystko w porządku poza tym, że ogrzewanie nie było najlepsze. Słabe ogrzewanie
- Svetlana (8/5): - Everything was fine Nothing
- Vincent (10/5): WE au centre de Zurich. - Accueil et personnel au top du top.
Emplacement idéal. Parking privé avec lift, génial et au Max de la sécurité. Chambre super. Lit ok. Frigo (!), Produits de salle de bain, très bien. Accessibilité et système de carte excellent. Rapport qualité prix fabuleux. Salle de bain exigüe, matelas pas assez ferme pour moi.
- Raphaël (5/5): - J'ai raté le train pour aller à Zurich (sans ma faute) et j'ai dormi à Berne. Ils ont été inflexibles pour me rembourser la chambre, ne serait-ce que partiellement. C'est dommage.
- TERE (8/5): Conveniently located for a short stay! -
- Margarita (10/5): - La ubicación inmejorable, a pocos pasos de la estación de tren Zúrich HB
- laszlo (6/5): Glass door for bathroom - It was has Nicely located from the city centre, but the street was a bit loud GLASS DOORS for bathroom! not only that but they where sliding doors so even worse. Thankfully I stayed alone but I would even share it with my partner with that door yet alone a work colleague
- corine (9/5): Très agréable séjour en vieille ville de Zurich. Etablissement proche de la gare, très pratique. - Chambre spacieuse et calme. Chauffage au maximum, chambre bien trop chauffée.
- Sarah (7/5): -
- Maike (8/5): - Für eine Nacht perfekt, im Bereich des Check in gibt es kostenfreien Tee/Kaffee Nur als Info: Man checkt in einem anderen Gebäude ein
- Ena Crnoja (10/5): - -Great location, kind staff, cleanliness, good value for money.
-I didn't have a swiss plug for charging my devices so I was happy seeing the room has all types of sockets.
-I've got a small chocolate gift at the check-in and it was really a nice gesture - Noisy ventilation in the bathroom that turns on automatically together with the light switch, it can't be turned off separately.
- There are some locked doors in the room that are not part of the room and I heard another guest through that doors spaking on the phone, I could hear very clearly his conversation, so I think behind that doors is another room and it was a bit weird but luckily that guest stopped speaking on the phone after a while so it was quiet then.
- Mayuree (10/5): -
- Estefania (6/5): -
- ioanna (10/5): Τέλειο! Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα! - Πολύ καλή τοποθεσία, πολύ καθαρό και άνετο!
- Morgan (6/5): Good location with basic amenities - Location, shower, elevator, bed was relatively comfortable, quiet and private Blow dryer did not work, refrigerator did not work, room gets pretty stuffy as it only has a radiator available, the elevator works but it is the smallest elevator I have ever seen (one person and a suitcase)
- Sebastian (7/5): - Location, staff attention
- Bacaksiz (10/5): -
- Maria Cielo (8/5): -
- Andrea (7/5): -
- Fanhsiu (10/5): 位置佳、服務好! - 位置在市中心景點附近,服務人員熱情,一切都很棒!真要說的話就是停車場入口電梯有點窄,但位於地下室的私人停車場非常安全!
- Anna (10/5): -
- Mary (9/5): -
- Βίκυ Μ (9/5): Καλή τοποθεσία - Πολύ καλή τοποθεσία, στην παλιά πόλη, και κοντά στο σιδηροδρομικό σταθμό.
Πολύ άνετο στρώμα και μαξιλάρι. Δεν είχε καλή ηχομόνωση
- Lale Sıddıka (10/5): Oğlumla 3 gece konakladık.Konumu harika,merkez tren istasyonuna,nehir kenarına,markete çok yakın konumda.Odamız her gün - Temizlik,konum,konfor

- Jennifer (8/5): Great, inexpensive and would stay again. - It was great for a few days in Zurich, very quiet, clean, fit for purpose. WiFi was tricky. Couldn’t connect.
- Leigh (9/5): - Very clean. Staff was helpful and pleasant. A little expensive for how simple it was. I wish they had in advance that the shuttle isn’t free I wouldn’t have booked here if I’d’ve known.
- Olivier (10/5): Best deal in town - L'emplacement, le café offert Rien
- Werner (9/5): Top price value - Centrally located; small but comfortable room; excellent price value
- ERKUT (10/5): - Tesisin konumu mükemmel
Kahvaltıları zengin ve lezzetli
Ücretsiz Kahve ve elma hizmetleri vardı.
Bazı kişiler klise çanlarının sesinin fazla olduğunu söylemiş. Açıkçası rahatsız edici değildi
Personeller ilgili ve güler yüzlü herkese teşekkür ederim

- Federico (9/5): -
- Sukru Merter (9/5): - Tam şehrin merkezinde yer almasini, odanin konforlu ve temiz olmasini
- Staci (9/5): -
- Ana Paula (10/5): La ubicación es ideal - La habitación era amplia tal cual la foto, buen baño y tranquila la zona aún estando en la zona de la ciudad antigua, muchos restaurantes y bien conectado con todos los transportes.
Mi habitación daba a un jardín interno que se escuchaban pajaritos super lindo!
En la parte del hotel ofrecen cafés y bebidas de cortesía que son un buen gesto Me hubiera gustado que me indicaran antes de llegar a la dirección que el checkin debía hacerlo en otra dirección, si bien era cerca venía cargada con dos valijas y me tuve que mover mucho.
- Jennifer (10/5): - The room was very comfortable and clean, and it's amazingly located in the heart of Zurich just 6 minutes by walking from to the train station. The staff was very kind and attentive, especially Marc, he was very kind. I really enjoyed the breakfast big variety of choices and so delicious. Everything was very pleasant, highly recommended. I liked everything.

- ALI (7/5): -
- Ruth J. (7/5): ok. Viele Baustellen.. - die Angaben, wie man zur Rezeption kommt. War sehr schwer zu lesen. Schreibfehler.
- José Alexandre (7/5): -
- Monika (9/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal, das Zimmer war sehr geräumig, sauber und hat alles, was es braucht - ich war nur eine Nacht dort. Die Information, dass zuerst beim Hotel eingecheckt werden muss. Die Lage ist wohl sehr zentral, jedoch auch ziemlich laut durch Passanten oder Strassenlärm
- pınar (8/5): -

- güler (8/5): Keyifliydi, yan odadaki ses yalıtım sorunu olmasa daha iyi olabilirdi. - Temizlik ve konfor gerçekten iyiydi. Ses yalıtımı neredeyse sıfır, yan odada kendi aralarında sessizce konuşan çiftin dahil sesi geliyordu. Bu konuda bir geliştirme yapılması gerekebilir, sesten etkilenmediğimden ben çok problem yaşamadım.

- Hidelisa (10/5): Highly recommended place. Worth the price. - Its clean and the location and the staff are all nice. Nothing. I love the hotel.
- Olivia (6/5): Clean, centrally located hostel advertised as a hotel. - Alexander Guesthouse is in an excellent location, and was very clean. The rooms were very hot, and when opening the windows, the air from the alley smelled awful. I had to sleep with the window cracked and the awful smell in the room. It also felt more like a hostel than a hotel.
- Steve (10/5): Accommodations and staff were amazing - Location great. Staff amazing. Most comfortable bed ever! N/A
