We had a very clean, neat and tidy room.
Staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful.
Breakfast was quite nice, and had most of what you could ask for.
Our rooms were slightly on the small size, but still very reasonable.
The hotel is well located, being walkable to all things in downtown Zurich.
The street is pedestrianized, and gets quite busy. However, our rooms were perfectly quiet, and we didn’t hear any noise from below.
Very well recommended.

This hotel was a disappointment. It was advertised to have AC. The A/C did not work well at all in our room and blew out warm air. If you are planning on staying in the summer that is definitely something to prepare for. The room is also very, very small for a couple with two suitcases. It was hard to even open the suitcases at all in the room. It is also advertised that there is an \"airport shuttle\" available. This is not the case. When we requested the airport shuttle, we were told that it wasn't actually a shuttle for them and that it goes to multiple hotels and can take hours. It is at least in a good location. For $400/night, I would have at least expected what was advertised by the hotel to be true.

This is an excellent location in Zurich. This is old town, great restaurants and shopping. Sit along the water and enjoy watching the swans and a cocktail. Staff are great..breakfast is amazing...everything you would want. The only down..was no AC but they provided fans and opening the windows and it was fine. Slept very well. I would definitely stay here again.

Really helpful and welcoming staff - we arrived early to ask to leave our bags but were advised our room was ready so we were able to use it straightaway. Breakfast was a wider range than I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise and delicious too. I would recommend this hotel and it’s only about 10mins from main railway station.

Hotel is nicer in person than it is online. Incredibly clean. Front desk was very helpful. Bed was a little thin, perhaps, too firm for me.

Very impressed with this hotel. We booked a twin room and arrived around midnight to a friendly and efficient welcome.

The room was a good size and the complementary first stocking of the mini-bar was a pleasant surprise. There's also a hot drinks machine in reception that's available for use.

Lots of towels, comfortable bed and a good shower, though I cut my leg on the sharp corners of the beds - so beware of those!

Breakfast was complementary and offered a good, well-stocked selection of all the usual items. Overall, much better than a standard 3* hotel and I'd return again.

Air conditioning was not working during our visit in March which is fine if you open the windows. The issue is that the noise from the bars, restaurants & cars won't let you sleep with the windows open. Breakfast was basic & satisfactory.

This would have to be the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. The 2 rooms we booked for 2 nights were not the rooms that were allocated to us. We were allocated rooms that would normally fit a single bed. Our rooms had a queen bed shoved up against a wall with only one table lamp attached to a desk area and no bedside tables. When we spoke to the receptionist, Laura, to discuss our concerns about the rooms we had booked, we were met with a very defensive and aggressive response from her advising us that the rooms were in their category and that we needed to do better research because the rooms advertised on Expedia were not their rooms. When I checked the hotel's website the rooms we booked were the same as the rooms advertised on the Expedia website. Laura's excuse for putting us in these youth hostel, dorm style rooms was that it was the same category. We're we eventually moved to a room consistent with the advertised room, and our booking, for our second night but they could not or would not move the other couple we were travelling with. This hotel is deceitful, untrustworthy and I would not recommend staying at this hotel under any circumstances. The treatment we received ruined our Zurich experience.

Hotel Alexander is the most perfect hotel for a short stay in Zurich. Less than 10 mins walk from the main train station and right in the heart of the old town so perfect for exploring if you have limited time in Zurich as part of a larger trip. Super friendly and helpful staff. I was worried this might be a bit basic from the photos on the booking site, but needn't have worried, it was extremely clean, comfortable and a perfect base. Best pillow I had on the whole trip and also the best scrambled eggs I had all trip! Would definitely recommend and will definately come back again next time I'm in Zurich. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Parking is an adventure. Expecting to find parking at the hotel, I circled the block a few times trying to figure out what I was overlooking. I finally found somewhere to park and walk to the hotel. The staff was very nice, but I was instructed to pull in front of the hotel to unload our bags, then someone would show us where to park. The lady who rode with me and took me to the garage with the elevator I had to drive into was very nice. The man who took me back to get my car at the end of my stay was not particularly friendly, nor was he patient as I tried to drive a rental car I wasn’t exceedingly familiar with, into an elevator that felt like it barely fit.
The hotel itself was nice though and in a good location.
