It is a good 3star hotel in the city center. Rooms are small but they are recently renovated and they have everything you need. Breakfast is included in the price but is rather moderate. Price is average for Zurich.

I travel to Zurich quite a lot and tend to stay in different hotels. This is one of the first ones I would like to go back to. 1 major point is the central location, only a short walk to the bahnhof but also in the middle of some nice and cute restaurants. 2nd major point: a modern and clean...

Visited Zurich for a day, and even if the room wasn't ready yet, the staff/personel were all very courteous to keep our luggage so we can start walking around. They speak fluent English. I reserved triple room and seeing that I had a taller 16 year old, they offered to give us 2 separate rooms for the price of one.... More

As a regular traveler to Europe I've become accustomed to small hotel rooms, but this one wins the prize! The "big double bed" is actually slightly smaller than a Queen (made up of 2 beds pushed together which is what you get almost everywhere in real Euro hotels) and at the foot of the bed there was 2 ft of...

I have been several times, including last summer, to Hotel Alexander and I have no hesitation in recommending it to everyone visiting Zuerich. It is very close to the city centre and train station. Rooms are comfortable and staff is friendly 24/7. Most important television sport events are given free. I will be back as soon as I can.

This hotel is situated near a road, but on the cobbled pedestrian streets in the old town. A Taxi can drop you almost at the door but not quite.
