What People are saying

Good Location, But Room Was Small

Niederdorfstrasse was located one street away from the Limmat River, in the old town of Zurich.

Location wise, it was superb. There were lots of cafes and restaurants serving all kind of food within walking distance of Hotel Alexander.

If one is an art lover and is in Zurich for the museums and the art, the Kunsthaus Zurich, the Musee Visionnaire and the Helmhaus Zurich are all within short walking distances from Hotel Alexander.

Closed to the hotel are 2 bridges which can take you across the river to Bahnhofstrasse, the main shopping street of Zurich City. The Beyer Clock & Watch Museum is located on this street.

The rate at Hotel Alexander was kinda steeped, which perhaps is the norm in Zurich. I paid CH469.00 for 2 nights 2 pax, but breakfast was included in the rate. Breakfast was simple. but adequate and we enjoyed it.

One issue that could be improved upon is the placement of the towels in the bathroom. I felt that they were placed too closed to the toilet bowl - when the toilet was flushed, water could potentially be splashed onto the towels.

Friendly staff, good location

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Even when they were busy, they did their best to meet our needs and help us with whatever questions we had. They also helped us to book day-tours and transport to the airport.

The rooms are clean and comfortable. Most rooms have air-con, which helps on warm nights (Zurich can get quite warm in Summer). There is a nice breakfast spread too.

The hotel is located within the old city, and close to many attractions and restaurants. The train station, Zurich HB, is also nearby, making the hotel a convenient base from which to explore Zurich.

If we were to visit Zurich again, we would certainly consider staying again at Hotel Alexander.

Great property

This property is located in Old Town. It is a 20 minute walk (.75 miles) from the Sihlquai bus station, adjacent to the train station. That is where we picked up our 3 full day tours. The room was a little small and because it has a modern motif, storage space is a little difficult. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pillows were a little oversized but went flat. Not very comfortable. Breakfast was served with freshly scrambled eggs and lots of cold cuts, sufficient fruit. The coffee was very good. Wake up calls were delivered as requested. The shower had good pressure. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Too bad the American dollar fell against the Swiss Frank since I booked this hotel back in February. The room was clean. There were no extraneous noises. There is air conditioning. That was the second main reason for booking this hotel. The first was its location in old town. there is a computer for customer use.

In the heart of the old town

We only had one afternoon and evening in Zurich, so we wanted to stay close to the train station and the attractions. Hotel Alexander is only a 5 minute walk from the train station (with luggage). Currently there is street construction going on in Zurich so I was noisy and confusing, but the staff at Alexander was so welcoming and helpful that I relaxed immediately. The room was smallish, but efficient. The rooms are air conditioned which is important because it is in the heart of noisy old town. The staff responded quickly when I requested more pillows and an extra blanket. The beds were comfortable. Breakfast was good.

The location was excellent for us. The major sights are just a short walk. There are nice restaurants on Niederdorfstrasse. The hotel staff recommended the Swiss Chuchi Restaurant for an authentic Swiss meal of Zurcher Geschetzeltes and we were delighted with the dining experience there.

Great hotel. Location was perfect. It is important that a hotel is near the train station.
Rooms were a little small but it is clean and in good condition. Air conditioning would be nice, but I am told most hotels do not have AC in Zurich,

Staff were nice and helpful. Served with warmth and smile. We appreciated this very much as tourists.
