We are delighted that you were so satisfied with the cleanliness, comfort, and, above all, our helpful team. We are glad that you liked your room and that it was well suited to your needs.

    Location was perfect as can be. Staff (in the main hotelbuilding, the unmanned guesthouse is 2 mins walk away) was friendly and helpful. Rooms were (very) basic but clean and in good state. If you close the windows you hear nothing from outside noise

    No airconditioning! In all fairness, it didn’t say there was airco on the booking, but I just sort of figured it would.

    Property response:

    Dear Dennis, Thank you very much for your review and your stay at **Alexander Guesthouse in Zurich! We are delighted to read that you were satisfied with the excellent location, the quiet rooms and the friendliness of our team at ***Hotel Alexander, where the reception for the guesthouse is located. We also appreciate that you found the rooms to be clean and in good condition. We understand your disappointment regarding the lack of air conditioning, especially on hot days. You are right: our rooms in the guesthouse are deliberately kept simple and are not air-conditioned, which is clearly stated on all booking platforms. Nevertheless, we take your feedback seriously and are currently looking into possible improvements to heat protection, such as additional fans or heat protection measures. We hope to welcome you back again soon – perhaps during a cooler season or at the air-conditioned ***Hotel Alexander right next door. With kind regards, Your team at **Alexander Guesthouse

    The airport shuttle is in fact not an airport shuttle at all. You must take a tour of the hotels for an hour before it eventually drops you off at the airport.

    Property response:

    Dear Mary, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at **Alexander Guesthouse in Zurich. We are delighted that you were satisfied with the cleanliness, the facilities, and our central location, and that the comfort of your room met your expectations. We greatly appreciate your positive feedback. Regarding your comment about the airport shuttle, we apologize for any confusion. The service is not operated directly by the hotel, but is an external, shared shuttle service that makes several stops in Zurich – depending on occupancy, delays may occur. We take your comment seriously and will make this service clearer in future so that our guests are as well informed as possible. We would be happy to assist you personally with any future bookings to organize a more suitable transfer solution. We look forward to welcoming you back to Zurich on your next stay.

    It’s location

    It was really hard to find. You have to check in at a different hotel on another street. It was really noisy outside the room and you couldn’t shut the window because of how hot it was! The room was stifling hot with no a/c. The shuttle costs €40 to the airport. Breakfast is not included. Overall, this place is overpriced and not worth it :-(

    Property response:

    Dear Sinead, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at **Alexander Guesthouse – we are very sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. We are sincerely sorry to hear that you found your night unpleasant. Please allow us to address some of your points: Check-in takes place at the nearby ***Hotel Alexander – just a minute's walk away. This information is clearly stated on all booking platforms. We apologize if this was still confusing for you. Our rooms do not have air conditioning, which is clearly communicated on Booking.com and our website. As a responsibly managed guest house, we are committed to sustainable solutions – a fan is already provided in every room to provide some cooling even on warmer days. It is the guest's responsibility to check when booking whether the facilities offered meet their individual requirements. Due to our central location in the heart of Zurich, street noise may be heard when the windows are open. Upon request, we are happy to provide a quieter room at the rear of the building, subject to availability. As a guesthouse, we offer our rooms without breakfast – many guests prefer this flexibility. The airport shuttle is an external service with standard market prices for Zurich. We regret that the price-performance ratio was not right for you. Unfortunately, Zurich is one of the most expensive cities in Europe – nevertheless, we strive to create a fair and transparent offer.
