Marktgasse Hotel on Postcard

"You will discover the Marktgasse Hotel along the cobblestoned alley in the homey Niederdorf, a stone’s throw away from the Cabaret Voltaire – the birthplace of the Dada movement. The city’s oldest inn is located in a historically listed building, which was first mentioned in the year 1291. It was carefully refurbished recently and turned into a fashionable boutique hotel, that captivates through timeless, eclectic design. The stories from the past can still be felt in the slightly uneven floors and protected architectural details. Spoil yourself with a delicious cocktail in the charming Baltho Bar on the ground floor." - Plasmadesign Studio

Spent a lot of time finding a place to book and I am 100% happy with my decision to stay here! Clean, great staff, and close to many restaurants and bars. Location is on a really cute street. I thought the beds were super comfortable. I would absolutely stay here again! Book it :)

What a lovely hotel in the heart of the old town. This hotel is a short walking distance from the train station so very convenient to get too. It’s got great secure entry for guests and staff always available if required. |The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The teas and coffees available in the reception area is a nice touch. Although there is a great coffee machine in the rooms. |Breakfast in the hotel is in a little place called Delish next to the hotel and it’s lovely food and great service. All in all I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend this hotel to others.

Amazing location. It was my first time in Zurich, so I walked from the train station and was greeted by lovely staff and a clean, air conditioned room. ||It was so fun to walk along the river and explore Old Town from the hotel. Breakfast the next morning was good, as well. ||I was in the city during the first week of August, so the restaurant was closed due to the annual holiday on 8/1.

The location is very good but the rooms are small and looked a little worn to me. The first room I was shown had windows to walls. Bed was fine. If you are looking for some local ambiance and charm, I would try somewhere else.

I spend two nights in historic double room, and the view is extremely fantastic cause seeing Lindenhof and Limmat river clearly. While the sun shines into the room by the window, everyone is healed. The room is clean, enough space and with convenient access by tram as well.

Don't expect anything in line with the price level. It's a beautiful old town building, the rooms are nicely decorated, but also quite spartan. There isn't even a mini bar with mineral water. The wifi is just very random, which in 2024 is just not acceptable at this price and rating level. No room service, etc. It's very nicely located in the old town and hence you have a lot of restaurant around which brings also the down side of the noise in the street, especially on week-ends. I wanted to have a beer downstairs in the hotel's own bar, but I was told that the tables were reserved, so they stayed empty (half the terrace) for more than 2 hours. It doesn't take 2 hours to drink a beer :-)

Loved staying at Marktgasse Hotel! It’s in the heart of the historic center, yet everything is newly refurbished. The decor is sleek, elegant, and refined, with a very design feel. The atmosphere is charming without being old-fashioned. Considering the price, it’s the best value in Zürich. Plus, the tap water is excellent! Highly recommend for a stylish and comfortable stay.

This place is comfortable and stylish, but also quirky and kind of expensive for what you get. I stayed there a couple of times solo and with the family and liked its historic feel. It's pretty clear that they aren't optimized for families, though -- they made us book two rooms, but then one of rooms was huge and would have been fine for all four of us. The furnishings are simple and stylish, fairly modern, but the floors and ceilings are slanted and at odd angles. Staff was for the most part very helpful and friendly, but as with many things Swiss I wished they had been a bit more flexible about their conditions.

We LOVED this hotel! Perfect spot, right in the middle of everywhere that we wanted to visit - within walking distance. The front desk staff is super friendly and accommodating. They had great suggestions for food and drinks around the area. The room Had A/C which is hugeeee because most places over here don't. It's right above a deli, so it's a little confusing at first, but once you figure it out you're good to go. The bed was super comfortable, and there were 2 pillows for each of us. Aka..stay on your side. There are literally no complaints for this place. We want to go back!

Amazing service here. The gentleman in reception was the most polite and helpful we encountered on our whole trip. The room is clean and modern as well as the bathroom. The bed is super cozy with down covers great for the chilly nights. No fridge in the room but they offered a fridge in the lobby if we needed. Great drinking water fountain on each floor with carafes and glasses so you can have as much clean Swiss water as you want in your room. Also in a great location in old towne, close to restaurants and the river.

Lively restaurant for a drink and lovely little casual cafe next door. I didn't stay here but if I came back I'd like to try it. Right in the center of a terrific shopping walking area.
