Marktgasse Hotel

Having stayed in Zurich several times, this is a good location, especially if you're into shopping. Traveling solo, I got the highest room, where the ceilings are 6'3" and I'm 6'4", which is a little weird. The floors slope down as well. It's definitely an old building that's well appointed. The staff is great. The room was intimate and fairly well appointed.

Loved this place! Reasonable rates (for Zurich), cozy but clean room, attractive property, and ideal location. I really like how each floor has a water bottle fill station. The welcome drink was a nice touch, and the concierge was helpful in their sightseeing recommendations. Highly recommended!

This is a great place to stay in the heart of old town Zürich. I’m not sure if all rooms are the same but our room was quite large and well equipped. The front dest staff were all very helpful and very friendly. I highly recommend this hotel for your Zürich holiday.

My stay exceeded my expectations. The room was immaculately clean, beautifully designed and the perfect balance of modern style and cosy comfort. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive and always willing to help. I highly recommend this hotel and would be more than happy to stay here again.

We stayed 4 nights at the beginning of November 2024 in room 105, an historic double room. ||Accessibility: We are 70 and 71 years old and had no difficulty hauling rolling luggage and carryons on the train from the Zurich Airport, then catching tram #4 to the Rathaus tram stop around 5:30pm commute hour. The 1-block walk up the slight hill from the Rathaus tram stop to the hotel was no big deal for us, and we are not particularly athletic. With a lot of luggage or a baby, take a taxi and have them drop you off at the front door.||Breakfast/coffee: We did not opt for the hotel breakfast as we eat light. Instead, we helped ourselves to the complementary coffee & tea at the reception area and took the elevator down to the Delish Cafe to purchase croissants for a couple euros each. Our room had a separate room with a table for dining and a sofa for watching tv. Our large, sunny historic double room, which included a living room with a dining table, sofa, and tv, a bedroom, and large bathrom, was quiet. I understand that the historic double room on the top floor has a terrace. Other coffee options, Café Henrici and Cafe Schober, are just a block away.||Location: You really can't find a nicer location in Zurich. Our son was married in the Stadthaus which was only a 6-minute walk across the river. Within a 5 to 10 minute walk: shopping on the Bahnhofstrasse, opera or ballet at the Opera House, art at the Kunsthaus, lakeside promenade on Lake Zurich, views at the Lindenhof or ETH University overlook (take the Polybahn near Central tram). There are so many restaurants in the nearby area. The Rathaus #4 tram stop has a kiosk to buy tram tickets using credit card (the 24-hour pass is good). Note: check out the youtube video "How to get to town from Zurich Airport by train" to see how to buy Zurich transportation tickets at the airport kiosks. ||Departure: the receptionist ordered a taxi to pick us up in the hotel's reception area. He helped us with our luggage to his car parked in front of the hotel. It was a 20-minute ride to the airport at 9:30am. Cost was 73CHF or $83.43; paid with credit card. Our ticket train/tram ticket-2 zones from Zurich Airport train then tram 4 to Rathaus was 7CHF per person.

The room had a shower with a glass door that does not cover the entire shower area. We had no problem with water going outside the shower enclosure. Temperature in the room was comfortable.||Reception: the folks at the 24-hr reception area were friendly and helpful. If you first arrive during the hours when the front door is locked, just press the button and you will be buzzed in. The hotel is equipped with elevators.||Laundry service: our wedding guest attire was brought down to the reception area Thursday evening and we received our pressed suits and jackets by Friday afternoon (70CHF).||Yes, Zurich is incredibly expensive, particularly food and accommodations. I researched over 10 hotels in Zurich taking into consideration price, location, elevator, access, decent reviews, air conditioning ... the Marktgasse Hotel came out on top. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are staying here again in May and June next year.

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 :)

I will definitely want to stay here agaun for my next visit to Zurich. + the location I loved the location! It’s located in the old town which was near the main shopping area too. There were mini Christmas markets littered around the area which was great! + Front desk service crew Our check in was super seamless! Very welcoming and warm! The night shift staff (8th Dec 2024) was also very helpful! We needed to get cutleries for our take out as it wasn’t provided and he very promptly got us the cutleries! It’s was very much appreciated! Amazing service throughout our stay! + Room facilities and size The room was very spacious and clean! The toilet was separated into 2 areas the toilet bowl and the shower area! The best thing a shower can provide during winter is instant hot water! Amazing shower experience! The things i didnt like was that the floors of the toilet bowl bathroom (since separated) was not heated and it really cold during winter! Besides that, i loved everything during my stay here!

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.
