Münstergasse Zurich Old Town

Münstergasse Zurich Old Town Overview

First Impressions

Walking down the cobblestone streets of Zurich’s old town, you’ll find Münstergasse Zurich Old Town tucked into one of the most charming corners of the city. This three-star property sits right on Münstergasse — honestly, you can’t get more central than this. The building itself has that understated Swiss elegance that doesn’t scream for attention but quietly commands respect. I mean, when couples are rating the location 9.1 out of 10, you know there’s something special about where you’re staying.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re literally in the heart of historic Zurich, but it doesn’t feel touristy or overwhelming. The Grossmünster cathedral is practically next door, and you can wander to Lake Zurich in about ten minutes on foot. What’s really nice is that you’re surrounded by authentic Swiss cafés and local shops, not just souvenir stands. The trams are easily accessible, but honestly, you probably won’t need them much since everything worth seeing is within walking distance. The old town has this magical quality where you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, especially in the early morning when the streets are quiet.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was compact but thoughtfully designed — very Swiss in that efficient, no-nonsense way. You’re not getting massive spaces here, but everything has its place and the quality is solid. The windows open onto the historic street below, and there’s something really satisfying about falling asleep to the sound of footsteps on old cobblestones. The beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are modern despite the building’s age. What struck me most was how clean and well-maintained everything felt — you can tell they take pride in the details.

Dining & Local Scene

While the hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant, this actually works in your favor because you’re surrounded by incredible dining options. There’s a cozy Swiss place literally around the corner that serves the best rösti I’ve had, and if you’re feeling fancy, some of Zurich’s top restaurants are just a few minutes’ walk away. The old town comes alive in the evenings — not in a rowdy way, but with that sophisticated European energy where people are out enjoying good food and conversation. You’ll find yourself becoming part of that rhythm pretty quickly.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is that perfect balance between being in the thick of things while still feeling like a peaceful retreat. The location score of 9.4 isn’t just a number — it reflects how rare it is to find a place where you can step out your door and immediately be immersed in centuries of history. You’re not just visiting Zurich; you’re living in it, even if it’s just for a few days. The staff understands this too — they’re helpful without being intrusive, and they genuinely seem to care about making sure you experience the city properly. For the price point, you’re getting something pretty special here.

Zurich’s apartments welcome families with bilingual childcare clubs, pet-friendly courtyards, and easy tram rides to museums.

  We like spacious rooms, balcony, full equipped kitchen, location and cleaning. Apartment is silent and safe. You awake with the sounds of nightingales in the morning. Apartment is in the middle of Oldtown and very close to Grossmunster. You can see the two towers of Grossmunster from the balcony. You can reach everywhere by walking and tram station is a stone-throw away. Grand supermarket is across the bridge. You can reach Zurich Lake tour harbour in 10-15 minutes, same with train station
