SAI HO, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location, extremely nice staff, amazing coffee, comfortable room with adequate size. Can’t think of something that I didn’t like (except the big and heavy key chain they use for the room key)
Michael, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our stay very much and thought the location was great too.
Julie, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Close to the train station; lots of character; quaint and convenient. It is on a busy corner, but the windows and shades make it quiet and dark(er). I've stayed here before and both times were good visits.
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a fantastic stay in Zurich and the Helvetia hotel was perfectly located for everything we wanted to do. Great facilities, great staff. Highly recommend.

Katie, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful, friendly, central hotel

I loved my stay at Helvetia. I was only in town for 2 nights and the location gave me easy access to everything- restaurants, bars, shops, old town, train station, the lake. Staff was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The room was cozy but clean and comfortable. Would highly recommended!
Justin, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Really cool hotel but the room we stayed in is minuscule with very limited space to walk around the bed, let alone put luggage out.
Agnieszka, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Stay away from the Suite room on top floor as there is a roof deck where they throw private parties with noise past midnight. Not ideal for families!
Lindsay, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful, affordable hotel in Zurich

Perfectly clean. Excellent location, spacious attic suite and a beautiful restaurant/bar with outdoor seating overlooking a creek!
Annah, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location (easy walk from Zurich HB and nice stroll to “old town”), super nice staff, and comfortable bed — everything we wanted after a long flight!
Unja, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful hotel

Beautifuly decorated attic suite we stayed it. It was quite roomy for the 3 of us and very comfortable. The hotel is about an 8 min walk to Zurich HB station and has lots of places nearby for a quick bite. We had the continental breakfast one morning and it wasn’t the best for kids so we skipped it after that. We would return to this hotel on our next trip for sure!!

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful hotel in a superb location

Superb location, excellent sized room with kitchen facilites. Wonderful bar and restaurant
Carl, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

It’s a good property except of 1 thing for me which is the portable air conditioning as it was so loud. I was told that the built in ac isn’t working because the building is old. We had to turn that machine off before sleeping because of the noise. Positives - walking distance to old and central are including Zurich HB + Dining options around. People at the Reception was nice too.
