Highest recommendation!

A lovely stay with easy access to important sites and walkability to tons of restaurants and cafes in the city! The receptionist was extremely helpful in giving us information to make the most of our short stay. We would highly recommend Hotel Alexander!
Carolyn, 1-night trip

The hotel is quite basic but has everything that we needed during our short visit. The location is very ideal especially for doing a lot of day trips to other places.

Nice hotell at good location

Nice hotell in good location, free minibar (Nice!). Well isolated concerning sound (quiet). Ok breakfast. Only bad thing was aircondition which even at highest setting made the room temperature ok (was 20 degrees outside).

Nice boutique hotel located between Soho and Covent Garden areas. Spacious rooms, clean and friendly and helpful staff.
Pablo, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is located in the old town section of Zurich, surrounded by restaurants and shops. If you have a car then you need to reserve a space ahead of time, for a fee, if spot is available. Otherwise, you have to locate a parking lot, for a fee.

4/10 Fair

Average property but not worth the price. Shower head didn’t work majority of the time, air conditioning doesn’t blow any cool air, and the beds are as hard as a rock. The only redeeming quality is the location. Will not be staying at this location again with the many other options in the same area.
Robert, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is centrally located in a very walkable area with shopping & dining options. Central train station nearby. It is a basic hotel. It was clean & safe. 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. I found it pricey for what it was, but everything is Zurich is expensive. Overall, clean, central, convient hotel.
