4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2012

The room we got was basic but very clean. There was a hair dryer in the bathroom (not that I care for it, but some people do, obviously). The only drawback was one that is common in Europe: a ‘double room’ often means two single beds you have to push together. There was some noise in the streets in the... More

When they said the room is "basic" means there are only a bed, a table and a chair; not even hair dryer, do not expect aircond or heater. The Guesthouse is not a hotel, it owned by Alexander Hotel which is at the front street, and that's the picture you see, the Guesthouse is at the back street, it looks... More

The double room in which I stayed was very clean but it was very small too. The room is very basic and in my opinion kind of expensive for what you get. The internet is not free in the guesthouse, only in the lobby which is a block away. The location is excellent, near to all the attractions of Zurich... More

My friend and I stayed for 5 nights recently and had a great experience. Make sure to check in at Hotel Alexander because there is no front desk at the guest house which is just a short block away. Our room and the guest house were very clean. The location is perfect, very close to the main tourist sights and... More

I had originally booked a 5 night stay here, but left after the first night. The first room they gave me was the size of the closet with one window that opened into a tight alley. It was to have been for two people. The room was about the size of my closet. The second room they gave me was... More

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
