Great location, friendly staff, absolutely fine for the price paid (by Zurich standards). The main Alexdander Hotel was being refurbished, and even though we in the Alexander Guesthouse weren't really affected, we were given a free breakfast, which was nice. More

We were in Zurich for a few days & stayed in the guesthouse. What can I say....it was more like a hostel than a guesthouse. Our room had twin beds & was very, very small. The wifi was very expensive & the room next to ours was separated by a locked door with a large gap under it, we could... More

I stayed at Alexander Guesthouse this past weekend and would like to compliment them on excellent service, clean accommodation and good value for money. In particular, I would like to compliment Katahrina at reception for going above and beyond and being proactive in trying to make our stay as pleasant and enjoyable possible. We will definitely recommend this hotel to... More

We stayed here the first night we arrived in Zurich - great location. Excellent staff! Would recommend the Guest House for those on a budget. Simple accommodations but perfect for the price. More

Small rooms, twin beds. They charge a high price for Wi-Fi in the guesthouse, but you can walk the short block to the main Alexander hotel and use free, fast, Wi-Fi in the reception area; they will give you the password. 10 minute walk to train station along busy (safe) streets. Breakfast is not included, but there is a small... More

Stayed here with a friend for a football trip to Liechtenstein. Zurich hotels are generally pretty expensive but the Alexander Guesthouse was good value. The twin room was small and basic, but was very clean. The guesthouse sits one street back from the main nightlife area so it is quiet but still very near to the action. Only a ten... More

This guesthouse is a good option for those an a budget. The guesthouse is located right in the centre of Zurich Old Town and within a few min walk you can explore the old town, the river side & get to Lake. Rooms are small but clean and simple. There are no frills with this place it is all about... More

Alexandar hotel is in a good location with loads of nice restuarants nearby and easy walking distance from main station. Room I had was quite large, but farily basic but functional. Wifi was slow though so use as a business hotel a little questionable. More

We were travelling through Switzerland on our way to Italy and needed a place close to the train station for an early morning start. The Alexander Guesthouse was an easy 10 minute walk to the station, the room was clean and the staff were helpful. It is also close to lots of great bars and restaurants, so it was just... More

We booked just one night at Alexander and it was perfectly adequate for our needs. We arrived a bit early so left our bags with the pleasant hotel staff, where we had to book in, and had a good look around. The room was clean and o.k. - the hotel is in a convenient location and was reasonably priced. Zurich... More
