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.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

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.

Good location, easy access to everything.

Very nice, clean and comfortable in a good location. Bathroom was the largest and nicest in our two weeks travels around Switzerland.

Lobby was on the second floor, but that’s due to building structure.

Highly recommend. Excellent location. Will definitely return.

Super nice room - felt like a mini loft Minimalist and modern with mid century furniture- v nice! Aircon was excellent Drinking water station in each corridor

I had double room single occupancy - 2 single beds together which really dipped/sagged in the middle so not the most comfortable. The pillows were almost too soft.

Overall lovely hotel provided the right room is selected but don’t include the breakfast. Fabulous location.

We booked a large double room. Care needs to be taken. The large double rooms with 2 windows have a better view outside. The original large double room we were in had one window which looked into a courtyard and it was considerably smaller than the second one we were placed it. The first developed a leak from the ceiling but staff were wonderful and shifted us. The photos also show robes. They are not provided in the large double rooms I was told. Only in the historical rooms. The breakfast which was included was very disappointing. Plenty of cafes around and I would take up that option instead.

Nice room, excellent location, friendly staff.

It would have been good to have a refrigerator in the room to keep my drinking water cold. I didn't really want to go downstairs to the refrigerator at reception in my pyjamas when I got up the next morning!

It’s a nice, basic, minimalist hotel in the heart of the old town in beautiful Zurich. Great location

It is in a great location in the old town. It’s perfectly nice and clean. The staff were all nice.

There was nothing I disliked about the hotel. My room was quite small and basic. It had everything you need: bed, desk, chair, hanging space, shower etc but no frills. Small and minimal but all fine.

Perfect location, lovely hotel with lots of charm

The location is perfect! Lots of restaurants, cute little streets to explore, access to the tram, close to the lake and all the highlights of Zurich. There is a small café attached the hotel, which is great for breakfast or to grab a small bite to go.

Perfect hotel for location, comfort, price and cleanliness.

It was an amazing location. A very cute hotel with very comfortable rooms and beds. Ours had a small living room and two bathrooms (room 302). Perfect location to everything and the shops and dining around was great. We were able to get a taxi pick us up adult the door (just at the front desk)

Fantastic location, kind and responsive staff, great room and facilities. The design and the details are amazing!!!

There were construction works outside which was a bit annoying, but I suppose is not the responsibility of the hotel. PIllows were not very comfortable for us!

A fantastic stay with exceptional service and a welcoming atmosphere—highly recommended!

My stay exceeded expectations. The room was impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and struck the perfect balance between modern style and cozy comfort. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist. I felt genuinely welcomed throughout my stay.

There was nothing to fault during my stay—it was a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Great location, friendly staff, would stay again

We enjoyed our stay at this cute hotel. The location was perfect, walkable around the city as well as a tram stop super close by. The room was clean, not as big as we expected but manageable, and the bathroom was big. Room had heating which we needed to turn down, it also has great air conditioning. Only thing we didn’t like was the restaurant right outside our window, felt we needed the heavy curtains closed whenever in our room for privacy, we stayed in room 102. Breakfast as very very basic, the sausages were nice. It was nice and quiet, we did hear upstairs walking around a few times but wasn’t a major issue.

Restaurant right next door to room window
