We loved our stay at the Altstadt! It's small but so lovely and we had a wonderful time. Super friendly staff and the breakfast options were great. The only downside to mention is that while there is an elevator, you still need to go up a couple of stairs to enter the hotel and then a couple more to get to the elevator. Just something to think about regarding accessibility.

The location of the Altstadt Hotel could not be better. It is in the quaint old town with lots of shops and restaurants. It is near the tram lines and the Zürich train station so it is very easy to get around. The staff is very friendly and shared a lot of information with us. We had the Design Plus room for the 4 of us and the beds were all very comfortable. The breakfast was adequate but limited, but it got us going for the day. If I returned to Zurich, I would definitely stay at the Altstadt Hitel.
