Marktgasse Hotel, Zurich

Marktgasse 17, City Centre, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Opened in 2015 in Zurich’s historical quarter, Marktgasse Hotel has 39 rooms done in airy, elegantly minimalist style (white fabrics, blond wood) along with a bright, lively café; dark, sleek bar-restaurant; library; and hammam.”

Featured in 36 Hours in Zurich by The New York Times.

Fodors review:

“Located in the heart of the cobblestone streets of Old Town, this boutique hotel smartly blends its 15th-century history with modern minimalism. The rooms vary in size and are individually decorated, but all are done in a pared-down style with lots of white linen and pale wood.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Zurich.

CN Traveler review:

“There’s been an inn or hostelry on the site for more than 600 years, but its current incarnation feels as fresh as a daisy. It’s got a fantastic bar (dark but not forbidding) and restaurant (Swiss but not traditional), plus a New York-style deli (buzzy and fun, and hugely popular with locals as well as guests).”

Telegraph review:

“The Marktgasse is one of Zurich’s oldest inns, situated in its historic city centre. The 39-roomed boutique hotel successfully blends modern minimalism with ancient heritage, and is warm and welcoming. It also offers a lively bar and an exceptional restaurant, Baltho.”

Situated in the heart of the Altstadt, the Marktgasse Hotel couldn’t be in a better location. Within walking distance of Grossmunster Church, Lake Zurich, the train station, the opera, Bahnhofstrasse, and so many other attractions, getting around will be a breeze. This 15th-century building has been updated to include modern amenities. Guest rooms are simple, yet comfortable. White linens, Scandinavian furniture, wood floors, and earthy tones create a calm and serene atmosphere. Room sizes vary from a single bed to extra-large beds with a sitting room.

All rooms feature free Wi-Fi and flatscreen TVs. Upgrade to a suite for built-in sound systems and Nespresso machines. A complimentary breakfast is included in your stay, with options catering to vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free diets. Access to Fitnesspark Stockerhof and Fitnesspark Stadelhofen, two nearby gyms with spas, is included in your room price. These are both a 12-minute walk from the hotel, offering saunas, jacuzzis, a cold water plunge pool, steam bath, massages, and brine thermal bath. Fitness options include cardio equipment, weight equipment, fitness classes, and a gymnastics room.

This hotel’s other charming features include a library, a café, and a restaurant and bar with an outdoor terrace overlooking the Old Town. The hotel restaurant, IGNIV by Andreas Caminada, serves a gourmet tasting menu, and the adjoining cocktail bar has received the “Best Newcomer Bar” award from the Swiss Bar Awards. Delish-La Pinseria, the hotel café, serves fresh pizza and delicious salads.

Perfect location, clean room, kind staff

Property was easily found and very clean and staff was extremely kind and accommodating!

The room felt like it was on a slant so if you have vertigo just beware this will absolutely trigger that.

Fantastic hotel well worth a visit

The staff are very friendly and helpful, nothing was ever a problem for them and are very willing to help you The breakfast was also great, loads of choice from bacon, sausage scrambled eggs, to fresh fruit, yogurt and pastries. The room was very large, large double bed, free standing bathtub , we were in a historic room. Great location in the old town , lots to see and lots of very nice restaurants in the area.

Nothing at all , it was very warm in the hotel , but apart from that nothing to complain about

Enjoyed our four nights in this hotel and will definitely return.

We liked the location of the hotel and the personnel were very helpful when we needed directions. It was very quiet and well maintained.

There was no one specific thing that we didn’t like about this property.

Our first time in Zürich, we will come back to Marktgasse.

Only a few hotels understand their guest's needs. Marktgasse's team did their utmost to make our late arrival comfortable, helpful, friendly, and professional during our check-in and stay. They were prepared for what sometimes is unexpected.

A comfortable, minimalist decor hotel in the Old City with tricky electronics connections.

Ideally situated in the Altstadt. (An easy 12-15 walk from the train station.) Comfortable beds. Appreciated the loan of special Swiss electrical adaptor. Breakfast dining room is also a restaurant.

Complicated WiFi sign-in procedure. Plugs difficult to access. Tricky to keep adapter plug plugged in. Shower water temperature would suddenly run hotter when, presumably, someone flushed a toilet nearby.

Excellent location, convenient, clean & safe. Rooms are modern and hotel has a nice vibe. Loved my room and slept really well. AC is perfect. Bathroom amenities are good quality. I’d stay here again.

Just the space between the bed and the room is so small. Not sure if someone is slightly overweight, how can they go to their bed.. but this was a very minor thing.

Very good

Everyone was very helpful and the room was very clean and up to date.

My room on the top floor had a very low ceiling of 6 feet and was very claustrophobic since I am 5’5”. It was only for one night so I managed but I wouldn’t have like to stay any longer. I’m sure all the rooms aren’t like this.
