Altstadt Hotel

“excellent”

lovely hotel with fantastic friendly staff. it is a small hotel right in the centre of town, close to bars and restaurants. its easily accessible from the railway station and its a 15 minute walk or 5 minutes on a tram. we didnt stay long enough but our visit was excellent.

“Good Stay, but Breakfast is Not Included!”

The location is good, in the old town area, and walking distance from the main Zurich HB train station. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, though a little small. The design of the hotel is a little quirky with photo portraits of poets/writers identifying the rooms and artworks of their writings inside the room. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. When we checked in, we were told that we had already paid for the room and breakfast, but when we went to the breakfast room the next morning and after we got food and sat down, we were told that breakfast was in fact not included and they were charging us 15 CHF per person.

“Hotel in old town Zurich”

This hotel is in a good location in the charming old town of Zurich close to the Limmat river and lake.

This hotel is in a good location in the charming old town of Zurich close to the Limmat river and lake. Zurich is an expensive city, of course, and we selected this hotel for a two night stay based on its location and price. We booked a family room and they squeezed two portable beds in for our two teens - so suffice to say it was pretty snug. We included breakfasts in the booing which was probably a good option to feed up the teens given the high cost of pretty much everything in Zurich. But this hotel did the trick and was a good spot to use as a base to wander the city streets and get a ferry to the Lindt factory. Yum.

“Good stay in the old town”

Nice hotel in the old town. Had a small room on the fifth floor. Everything was well organized so it was quite comfortable in spite of the size. Slept really well! Downside was the price (holy moly zurich is expensive!) and the bathroom floods!

“Great location, lumpy pillows”

Excellent location… however, we had issues with check-in because the room wasn’t right, and the hair dryer died in the middle of being used. They did replace it, with a better one, so that turned out great. Housekeeping is pretty rude; if you are in their way in the tiny hall, they will push you ov… more

Excellent location… however, we had issues with check-in because the room wasn’t right, and the hair dryer died in the middle of being used. They did replace it, with a better one, so that turned out great. Housekeeping is pretty rude; if you are in their way in the tiny hall, they will push you over. Rooms are tiny, elevator is minuscule, and the pillows were horrendous. They were mentioned in other reviews, but they were even worse than we expected, somehow both flat and lumpy. The weirdest thing is the key system. It makes you feel like you’re staying in a hostel. They say they have a bar, but it’s more of a coffee bar + aperol spritz.
