Loved by Alexander Guesthouse Zurich Old Town guests
"Rooms are quite basic, but comfortable - pillows are huge and soft, and bathroom has all essentials."
"The area around the hotel is a pied a marché, where there are many shops, restaurants, and, as is the only real problem with Zurich, smokers."
"Guesthouse is in a separate building from the main hotel, but we can use the free coffee machine at the main hotel reception room."
