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.”

Fabulous

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.

Perfect city break.

Perfect place for a few days’ city trip. Friendly people, comfy beds, delicious free water. Excellent location in the city center; all the main sights reachable by foot. Hauptbahnhof is a 10 minute walk away.

Perfect location for touring the city. Clean, comfortable, and charming!

I loved the charm of this hotel so much! The staff were very help and friendly. They stored my luggage while I was waiting for my room to be ready. The room is small but charming, very clean, and comfortable. The location is in the perfect location for walking distance to many sites and the train station.

Great location for a quick visit to Zurich.

Location in Zurich Old Town and breakfast.

Not necessarily a complaint about the property because everything in Zurich is expensive but for $400/night you just tend to expect more.

Great value and close to the action

A little difficult when arriving by tram, however the facilities quickly made up for this. COmplimentary coffee in the reception area and a nice breakfast also on site. Great location within one street of the main tourist area with alot of restaurant choices within 5 minutes walk

Finding the hotel from the tram stop was difficult

Excellent option to stay in central Zurich

Centrally located, newish, well maintained, quiet at night. Staff was friendly and welcoming and offered an extra hour stay at check-out. Breakfast is served in the in-house cafe with good selection of everything essential.

Room is a bit small even though it was deemed large by local standards

Great location and confortable rooms.

Comfortable bed, great location, simple but elegant rooms. Staff were friendly.

Our room was on the 4th floor just below a staff only area - not sure what they were doing but it was very noisy above us late at night and early in the morning a couple of times. We stayed just after the worldwide IT outage and their system via booking.com was hacked. I was sent a link asking more my credit card details via booking.com which was phishing. While this is not the directly the hotels fault it would have been nice to have an apology that this had happened.
