    The room was a bit small, I would have liked a bigger desk

    Very good located and convenient room, suitable for a solo traveler for a couple of nights. The staff is professional and nice, thank you!

    Location close to train station and in the old town. Clean, spacious room. Nice staff. Complementary coffee at the hotel reception - it is un another building not far away. l

    The guest house only has 2 person rooms, so larger groups need multiple rooms. There is no tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms, however, they are provided in reception for free. The guesthouse has multiple floors and the lift is very small, so getting large luggage to your room can be an interesting experience.

    Alexander Guesthouse is a great place to stay in Zurich for a short visit. It is close to the main train station in the center of the city, shops and restaurants. It is in the funky Old Town area. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the guest house is clean and well maintained.

    Heavy doors to get in when you are entering the building.

    Great location in the old town but close to train station. Nice room with view of courtyard trees. As it’s past of Alexander Hotel one street over, you can pop in and get a free coffee and apple all day.

    No complaints, really. Whist it would always be nice to have a jug in the room for tea and coffee, to compensate for this, the hotel had complimentary coffee and tea in the foyer, as well as free fresh fruit for guests. A nice touch

    The rooms were comfortable and clean, fresh looking, and light. The staff were very helpful with all onwards travel advice and support. Early checkin was also given. This was appreciated after a long trip. Breakfast was excellent and good value. The restaurant staff were welcoming, generous, and brilliant at what they do. The location was excellent, close to restaurants and boutique shops, and very close to the river, transport, and train station. Complimentary water served in rooms. I would stay here again..

    Our only suggestion would be better lighting in the room. There were small swivel wall lights near each bed that were nice for reading but otherwise just a ceiling light that was somewhat dim. Even just a lamp on the desk would help.

    Great location, clean, and very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel provides free access to the art museum, which was nice. We enjoyed our stay.

    Can get noisy. In summer time with an open window you'll be hearing church clocks every half hour throughout the night. Didn't bother me the second night with the window closed. Not the best place to go with a bulky suitcase (tiny elevator and stairs). Water, tea and coffee are free but only available at the main hotel now (which is a small block away) and bringing hot cups into room can be a challenge with their "slide in the card" system.

    Really great location, very friendly and helpful staff, clean, rooms eventhough small are reasonably comfortable, esp if your suitcase fits under the bed.

    Great central hotel, pretty much in the heart of Zurich. The owner was very hospitable and gave us great recommendations. We happened to be there during an annual festival which covers the whole of old town which was extremely fun and made me experience a whole new side of Zurich! There's also small extras like coffees and teas available wherever you like which was a lovely addition ☺️

    There is no air-conditioning in the rooms, which is awful during the very warm summer nights. There is only small and insufficient ventilators.

    Great location near the river and train station. Clean and simple.
