I love the location and access to the shopping, train and walking about safely. I will visit in late spring and stay at your hotel. Recommended to my friends..
You should have hand rails on the steps to the breakfast area especially since the carpet is black. I saw many guests struggling with the step down. Safety is key.

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..
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

We had booked a short stay with the Alexander Guesthouse on our way back and we received a really warm welcome and a room upgrade! I should note that our upgraded room was actually at the Alexander Hotel (not the guesthouse) and we were even allowed to check in early. Notes: - staff was super polite and made us feel really at home - a very cosy experience overall. - modernly furnished room, big comfy bed, nice bathroom. Not very spacious but not too small either. Very clean. - complimentary coffee, filtered water and fruit at each floor - complimentary access to the Zurich Zoo (upon availability) - this was actually the highlight of our experience. - location is excellent, right at the heart of the old town, very close to the main station too. Despite the location, the room was very quiet. - great value given the hotel rates in Zurich. I recommend this place and would book again if I return to Zurich.
nothing really!

Location was very walkable for riverfront, cathedral, and lakefront activities. There were two twin beds and plenty of electrical outlets.
Parking was challenging. There are two properties a block apart, plus a third for paid parking roughly in between. You can’t check in at Alexander Guesthouse, you want to map to the Hotel Alexander. The parking is accessed by driving down a pedestrian zone. The hotel staff follows very different protocols depending on which employee is running the front desk. Most were very friendly, but finding the parking area was not clear at all the first time.

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.
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.

1. Location close to train station, tram stop, groceries, shopping street, and tourist attractions. 2. Staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. 3. Price is very reasonable for this area. 4. Room with ensuite toilet and shower. 5. Elevator in the building. 6. Guesthouse is in a separate building from the main hotel, but we can use the free coffee machine at the main hotel reception room.
1. Room are very small, and the placing of electricity outlets for phone and camera charging are awkward. 2. No air condition, and we happened to experience 30 degree during our stay in June. But they are fairly acceptable considering the location and price.

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 ☺️

I am impressed with the lady at the front desk who was very friendly. She even gave me a double bed (instead of 2 single beds that I originally booked) as I was travelling solo and an early check-in! Best pf all, I got a gift for following the instructions on the email on where to check-in. That is the most thoughtful gesture I've received on my travel. I highly recommend the guest house.

It is located in the zurich old town and very close to the lake, main attractions, railway station and shopping centre. Easy to transfer to station and other places.
Lift is too small therefore we have to do several trips to transfer the luggages. Reception is separate from the guesthouse and I had difficulty in checking in but staff helped me to identify the reception once I have called them.

You don’t get a lot for your money in Zürich so this place is great value for money. Really well located in the middle of the Old Town, minutes from Tram, Train and Boat stations and surrounded by bars and restaurants it makes an ideal place to stay. Rooms are quite basic, but comfortable - pillows are huge and soft, and bathroom has all essentials. Staff were very welcoming and really helpful when I needed to stay a little time behind checkout due to a work issue! Free coffee in reception is very good too!
Walls are a little thin so if you get noisy neighbours it can be a bit tricky - luckily mine went to sleep quite early so was very pleasant! they do provide earplugs which I felt was a nice touch
