We liked everything. The hotel is nice and cozy, staff is friendly,breakfast is very good, the location is perfect, you can basically visit everything walking if you like to walk
The only comment was something that is actually something that the hotel has not much control over: the noise outside. I had difficulties to sleep and just after a certain time the noise ended after the bars/ restaurants were closed. So if you are with small kids, or really need to rest maybe this will not be an option for you

The location was amazing—right in the heart of downtown Zurich and within walking distance of everything. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a cozy vibe. I also really appreciated the included breakfast, which was much better than expected.
Nothing major! The room was on the smaller side, but it was perfect for a short stay.

Very happy with the service, especially with the coffee machine available near the reception.
The staff was very nice and helpful in advising what to do for the 2 days.

Staff were exceptional, got in early account flight times, made room available by 10, recommended an excellent breakfast spot while we were waiting. Easy walking distance from main station and to the multitude of Xmas markets
The road directly in front of the hotel was under construction and lots of noise right under our windows beginning at 0700. Every morning we had to endure the beep, beep, beep of the construction equipment, the cutting and grinding of cobblestones, men yelling, and then the uneven blocked, and difficult to navigate paths left behind at night. I am handicapped and have difficulty walking even on the smoothest paths.

There is no escaping the fact that Zurich is an expensive place, so it is not easy to find a good hotel that charges less than €300 per night and has a practical location.
Hotel Alexander does.
In the middle of the most popular street in Old Town and within walking distance of most major attractions - including the train station (600m, walkable if you don't have heavy luggage) - it is very convenient.
The property is old and the hotel has to function within the constraints of the building ; that means tiny foyer, small rooms, mini & slow lift and narrow corridors.
On arrival, I explained to the friendly receptionist that we were on a 6-week trip and had substantial luggage. He was most understanding and gave us the option of chosing between 2 rooms, which we inspected. Frankly, both were very small, but we very much appreciated his flexibility. We picked room 203 and organised best we could. It overlooked the square in front and had the facilities that you come to expect : small fridge, safe and TV with good choice of channels (including international and apps). The bathroom was similarly compact, but hygienicaclly tiled floor-to-ceiling and a heating rack for the white towels.
Breakfast is in a small room on the 2nd floor, where 1 woman works extremely hard to keep up. Not the most extensive buffet, but you won't walk out hungry.
The Alexander ticked most of our boxes for a 2-night stay in Zurich. In other cities you'd expect much higher standards for that sort of money, but for Zurich they offer good value for money.
