Great location. Very clean, but somehow uninspiring. Room was rather small. No staff on duty overnight. No restaurant. No proper reception area, but only a corridor. Breakfast included but rather uninspiring and in a very small room. If I had paid half the price, I would have been happy for a clean budget stay. But that's not how it's advertised

Quite nice hotel with very nice staff. Good location in the center of city, with a lot of restaurant around. My room 45 was spacious enough. The main disadvantage of this hotel is the presence of only a wired Internet with a bad quality of connection. I hope the hotel management will listen to the reviews and finally will set... More

Just spent the weekend in Zurich. The hotel was the perfect pick, in the heart of the historical center close to sights, shops, all the happenings... All newly decorated with a lot of modern taste, friendly staff, yammi breakfast. Rooms are small but really nice. Only weak spot, if you come with the car you can park at the nearby... More

Location, location, location. The Alstadt is small and in the heart of the old town. We could walk everywhere, even to the train station (about 20 min.). The staff was helpful and the rooms, although compact, were comfortable and had everything we needed. Just don't expect The Alstadt or anything else in Zurich to be a bargain. The breakfast was...

Well positioned to walk around central Zurich, staff were friendly and the little bar/cafe on the ground floor is kind of cute. Our room overlooked a cobblestone laneway which had no traffic but a fair number of noisy walkers.

This place is a small boutiqe in a great location. The rooms are extremely small, even for European/Boutique standards. The internet does not work in most rooms, which is problematic for business guests. There is no gym, but breakfast is included. The most serious/frusterating issue is that our booking was misrecorded at reception as being one day longer than our... More

This is a nice modern hotel, but with some extra heart and soul and creative touches to it. I really liked the way an individual artist had been invited to provide the artwork for each room. Upon arriving at your room you are greeted by a photo of the artist who had contributed to your room, it gives the place... More

This small hotel located in the center of Zürich is a very good choice if you are looking for nice accommodation at reasonable price. The room we got was modern, clean and large enough. Breakfast was also good. The only letdown was the internet access. The hotel offers complimentary access, but it is very unstable and did not work well... More

I stayed one night in the Altstadt Hotel in the old town. Downstairs is a small cafe that includes the reception desk. First floor is a breakfast room. Lifts and stairs to 3 more floors of rooms. I had the 'roof terrace' room on the fifth floor. Vaulted ceiling, small bathroom with toilet and shower, bed and a couple of... More
