Alexander Guesthouse Zurich Old Town, a 2-star hotel near Zurich-Kloten Airport (12 miles away), is accessible via a 10-minute S-Bahn ride to Zurich Main Station followed by a 5-minute walk. The hotel is located in Niederdorf, the most popular district among tourists, 164 ft from Hotel Alexander's check-in counter at Niederdorfstrasse 40. Public transport options include tram Number 4 (two stops to Rudolf-Brun-Brücke) and proximity to ETH Zurich, University Hospital, and the Old Town's cafes and boutiques.

Compact & Comfortable Rooms

The Alexander Guesthouse offers 20 non-smoking rooms with free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and soundproof windows. Room types include double, twin, and single rooms, ranging 0.0 ft² to 150.7 ft², each with private bathrooms. Children up to 6 years stay free in their parents' bed.

Regional Breakfast Options

A breakfast buffet with regional products is available at Hotel Alexander's main building for CHF 21, served daily from 7:00-10:30 AM (extended to 11:00 AM on Sundays). Gluten-free bread and lactose-free milk options are provided for guests with dietary restrictions.

Family & Chocolate Experiences

Guests receive free admission to Zurich Zoo (max. 4 entries) and can explore running routes along the Limmat River or Lake Zurich. The Lindt Home of Chocolate, featuring a 30 ft fountain, is 30 minutes away by public transport.

Convenient Business Services

The hotel provides paid parking (CHF 30/day) and luggage storage, with a 24-hour front desk. Business travelers benefit from proximity to Zurich's banking district and universities (ETH and University of Zurich).

“This guesthouse shines with its prime location, a walkable launchpad for Zurich's riverfront, cathedral, and lakeside attractions. The staff's helpfulness, particularly with luggage, makes arrival smoother. I would say that free coffee and a strategically placed apple at reception are nice touches, even if managerial warmth can be inconsistent.”
