Great staff and excellent location.

Great service from the staff at Altstadt. They had our room ready when we arrived early from Australia and they also loaned us a Swiss plug adapter to use with our Europe one. The rooms are a touch small but the location is very quiet and the number 4 tram will take you straight to the main station.

Great location

The stay didn’t start too well when we found the parking was in a public car park 5 minutes walk away. This cost 37 CHF overnight, with the hotel discount. The staff were universally fabulous, lovely check in and explained where all the Christmas markets were. Our room was basic and small but everything worked and was clean. The desk was a good size for a laptop and kettle, all the essentials! The buffet breakfast was surprisingly good with lots of options. The location was wonderful, literally in the heart of Zurich old town so it was aptly named!

The room and the hotel was clean and we especially loved the cafe on the ground floor. We definite recommend this place for someone visiting Zurich for the first time.
