    Light, bright and airy room with nice bath - very modern with great artwork on the walls. Right in the middle of Old Town easy walk to river and nearby sites. Wonderful area of town! Breakfast was good with a variety of foods. Only issue was noise of footsteps in rooms above and next to owing to the hardwood floors (but that was taken care of with earplugs!)

    Beautiful, pristine, environmentally sensitive city and unbelievably expensive so even a modest hotel, like this one, is very dear. Breakfast was delicious, Swiss museli and the rest. Lovely walking through the old parts of town nearby.

    A very nice hotel with beautiful surroundings in the charming, quiet, old town part of Zurich, close to the bank of the Limmat river. Simple, but delicious breakfast, very helpful and kind staff, exceptionally clean rooms. Close to major sights and shopping streets; public transport is excellent. Had a wonderful time there and would definitely stay here during future stays in Zurich.

    Good location, a little hard to locate in the hire car as it is in a narrow laneway - cobblestoned. Lovely hotel, nice staff. Close to old town.

    Great value and location. In room 15 there was even a TV in the bathroom! Right in the old town there is lots to see and great restaurants right on the doorstep. If you intend visit Zurich by car don't use this hotel, otherwise it rates very well, We would not hesitate to use it again.

    While the location seems good, the noise from the nearby trams (2 every 5 minutes until about 1 a.m. is extremely loud. The room was the smallest of the 14 hotels we used while in Europe even though it was not the least expensive.

    The hotel was in an excellent location, however the room was extremely small and there was no air conditioning. And the night we were there was a local festival, so when we opened the windows we heard every drunk person in town singing until 5am, so did not get a good night's sleep at all. The hotel would have been fine if the weather hadn't been so warm.

    Very nice, clean and charming room. Well disposed furnitures allow for a spacious feeling and sense of practicality, despite the size of the room which is average. Only negative point, there is no free wifi in the room. Overall, a very nice stay for the price in Zurich.

    We spent 3 nights at the Altstadt Hotel and were very pleased with what we got. Although the room was not too spacious and the street cleaning activities early in the morning kept us from sleeping, we still enjoyed our stay. One is really right in the centre of everything (shopping, restaurants, galleries, monuments) and it is all within walking distance. Very pleasant ambiance. We would choose it again!

    The hotel was great, in a fabulous place within the old town. The room was good, breakfast was nice and the litle bar in the hotel was lovely. My only issue was that although my room was non smoking, people in rooms close to mine must have been smoking and at night the room stank of cigarette smoke, which I found really horrible.

    The location was superb! The weather was lousy, otherwise it would have been lovely to walk in the neighbourhood. The hotel provided us with the information we wanted, held baggage, etc. No frills, but excellent. Good breakfast.

    This was one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in, as the staff couldn't have been any more personable or accomodating than they were. Each person did her job carefully and with a smile on her face - always! I would highly encourage everyone to enjoy their stay in Zurich even more by staying in this wonderful, old hotel in the very heart of the city.
