3-star family-run hotel in Zurich's Old Town with complimentary zoo entry

Family-Friendly Perks

Hotel Alexander Zurich Old Town offers free entry tickets to Zurich Zoo for up to four visitors per stay. The family-run business provides a warm and personal experience with spacious rooms that accommodate children comfortably. Guests also receive complimentary drinks in the mini-fridge upon arrival, a small bonus for families exploring the city.

On-the-Go Connectivity

Each guest receives a complimentary mobile hotspot device for internet access anywhere in Zurich during the stay. The hotel also provides free Wi-Fi in all rooms and public areas, with multiple power sockets including UK, EU, and Swiss adapters built into the room. This setup supports both leisure travelers needing maps and business professionals attending meetings at nearby companies like the University of Zurich.

Central Old Town Location

Zurich Hotel Alexander sits a 5-minute walk from Zurich Main Station, placing the Bahnhofstrasse shopping street and the lake promenade within easy walking distance. The financial district, ETH Zurich university, and car-free river walks are all reachable on foot in under 10 minutes. Restaurants, bars, and shops line the Niederdorf pedestrian street right outside the hotel's entrance.

Breakfast with Dietary Options

The generous breakfast service includes scrambled eggs, bacon, pastries, and a selection of muesli, with staff accommodating specific dietary needs such as lactose-free or vegetarian requirements upon request. Fresh fruits and a coffee machine are available in the lobby 24/7 for guests arriving early or returning late. The breakfast room is on the second floor and run by attentive staff who keep the buffet well-stocked.

Soundproof and Comfortable Rooms

Hotel Alexander Old Town offers air-conditioned, non-smoking rooms with soundproof windows that significantly reduce noise from the lively streets below. Each room features a small fridge with free drinks on arrival, a safe (though too small for a laptop), and international power sockets. Rooms on the courtyard side are especially quiet, and guests can request a kettle in advance.
