The financial centre and the famous Bahnhofstrasse are easily reachable on foot. You can find many restaurants, bars and shops in the immediate vicinity of the Alexander Guesthouse.

This was a last minute reservation due to cancelled flights but everything was excellent. Largest shower of our trip! 🤣 The staff were especially helpful. It was nice to be in a Guesthouse that was affiliated with a nearby hotel. Quiet, with an elevator, help from the hotel desk when needed. Would choose this place again. Less expensive than the hotel rooms in fact.

    We were very pleased with this place. It is on a quiet street with the lake a ten to fifteen minute walk from the hotel. We also walked into the main town area of Zurich and appreciated even more that we were staying at the Signau property as Zurich was very crowded. The hotel suggested some restaurants that were maybe a five minute walk away. They were good and appeared to be filled with many more locals than tourists.
