10/10 Excellent

Property was a 5 min walk from the train station. The buffet breakfast was great. Great views from our balc. The stairs up to our room were tight and we struggled with ours suitcases. Otherwise perfect place to stay ony overlooking Zermatt

2/10 Terrible

This is the most horrible hotel I stayed in my travel history
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Authentic nice building. Rooms are not very soundproof. Showerhead was hanging so low, I was only able to wash my hear sitting down. The nice location as well as the price make up for that. There's lots of restaurants, shops and bike rentals nearby. Staff was very friendly and helpful. If you don't mind my first points of comment, then I would definitely recommend.
Ernst, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a room at the front of the building and it was AMAZING!! Yes, we had to lug a suitcase each up the narrow stairs, but once up there and the view is seen, all is forgiven!! I made my family sleep with the doors open for the fresh air, and so I could hear the music and sounds of town as I drifted off to sleep. Then waking up to the sun rising over the mountains, birds chirping.... It was perfect!! Breakfast was the cherry on top!! Besides the very easy walk from the station, hehe! Definitely recommend this place if you have the physical ability to carry suitcases up stairs :)

Absolutely adored this little hotel. Right on the Main Street and it had a lovely atmosphere. Small and functional room with a communal balcony. Perfect for our one night stay. Decent breakfast in the morning too
Naomi, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

I liked the balcony and view of square from there. Problems are it's right next to bust main street, so noise is issue. More that that my problem was the cigarette smoke from the bar downstairs which has outdoor nice seating. This place is in middle of hustle bustle but you have to pay price for it. I liked it. Next time I will choose some quieter place.

Milinda P, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The room is very small and inconvenient. There is lots of stairs and have to carry the luggage up the stairs. Felt very uncomfortable.
Kamal, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Wouldn’t stay here if I’d known. Unexpected steep climb up 4 flights. Right next to migraine inducing bells that rang every 15 mins from 6am to 10:30 pm, and 15 mins unending w mult bells prior to mass. They were deafening n ear splitting w major tinnitus and migraine afterwards. The room and bathroom were TINY! Hard to move around or breath.

6/10 Okay

Clean, budget friendly hotel. The hotel is surrounded by 4 busy bars that close around 4am. So if you are going out, the hotel is very conveniently located. If you want to rest at night, probably not for you. Staffs are friendly.
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The Hotel Helvetia was perfect for my short stay in Zermatt. I had read many of the previous reviews so I was prepared. The hotel is a short 5 minute walk from the train station, there is no elevator and my room was quite small but had a balcony overlooking the street filled with people. The hotel is surrounded by shops and restaurants. This hotel was quite reasonably priced and in a great location.
Scott, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I wish i could give them below zero rating. Worst experience of my life. I travel a lot, but rating this place is wasting my time, but i wanted to do this so people think twice before booking this place. Stinky, room is so small
