My colleagues and I are visiting Zurich for business every few weeks. We chose Alexander to be our hotel in Zurich because it's a great combination of lovely small hotel, personal service, for reasonable pricing for Zurich and great location of 5 min to Zurich main station. In addition even the single rooms are specious (well, not to golf but... More

I spend 2 nights here. It is reasonable walking distance from the main train station, and as well as the main shopping areas. Coop is not too far away as well. Breakfast is adequate. Room has free wifi :)

Hotels aren't cheap in Zurich and this was one of the cheapest we could find that was still centrally located. All sights for tourists are within easy walking distance. Rooms are very modern and clean. Wifi Internet is fast and free. Breakfast is simple but nice, the lady there each morning was friendly and helpful. Recommended, I would stay there... More

I spent four nights for business. Very easy access from Zurich HauptBahnhof (main station). Just five-minutes walk! Located on narrow and clouded street, very convenient for shopping, eating or sightseeing. Staffs were polite but not so friendly. You can enjoy free Wi-Fi.Breakfast was traditional swiss style and tasty enough. I recommend this budget-friendly hotel.

A friend and I stayed at Hotel Alexander for 2 nights from 2-4 January 2013 and had a wonderful, comfortable stay in the twin room. The rooms are functional and well insulated against the street noise and the cold. The staff were very friendly and helpful!! If I ever visit Zurich again, I will definitely stay here again.

Small hotel in perfect location for Christmas markets, and all other things to see in Zurich. Perfect location for a quick stay over in Zurich and close to main train station. We booked 2 rooms, and had one with shower and one with bath (bit better for size). Good value for money and reception staff were always happy to help.

The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the train station in the Old Town area of Zurich. It's on a pedestrian-only street with restaurants, bars and shops. Not to mention the Christkindlmarkts set up nearby. I walked everywhere I went and it didn't seem unreasonably far to anything. The furthest I went was to Lake Zurich, which was probably... More

The room was a bit small, and the bathroom was even smaller than an average bathroom. Furthermore, there were no toiletries (apart from liquid soap).
