Very good stay.

Hotel is very clean and comfortable, quiet and the staff are very friendly. It is also in a great location, with a close walk to the train/tour bus stations, old town and all of the shops and restaurants. Would stay again.
amy, 4-night trip

8/10 Very 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.

Top hotel
orietta, 1-night trip

The property was easy to walk to from the train station, a very accessible and convenient location. The staff was exceptionally helpful, including the restaurant staff who accommodated us for dinner in a private dining area. What an incredible hotel!

central location

we booked a family room and it turned out to be spacious. Just wish the room was brighter and had more lighting. Also would be nice to have more firm pillows.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our last stay on our trip and everything was perfect. They set up a crib in our room, there was a mini fridge, the location was right next to the train to take us to the airport and the complimentary breakfast for one was great (our son was also free which was a big help). Thank you so much for ending our trip on a positive!
Garrett, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to city center, walking distance from amenities and transport. Room was a bit small to open all luggage, but tolerable for a shorter stay
3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Would definitely come back

Hotel Helvetia was amazing! Location is the only thing that I didnt like. But the service, rooms, bars were great. The pool bar with Jack and Michael was awesome. They treated us so well and make amazing cocktails. I highly recommend this hotel
Jennifer, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

We were on the top floor and the air conditioner did not work. Had to sleep in 80° plus room. They did give us a small portable unit that didn’t help. Pretty miserable experience.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a lovely, unique place to stay while in Zurich. I loved the art flare about it and how quaint it is. It is very convenient to the trains and walkable to Zurich's main downtown area. There is also a grocery store very close. The hotel is on a busy intersection, which creates a lot of street noise until about 10pm, but the windows muffle the noise well. I will definitely return.
Sarah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel, niche and cute. This is a boutique hotel, so no trappings of usual commercial establishment. Pros and cons to that. Cons: very small room. Pros: everything else.
Jeffrey, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was great, location too. lovely terrace facing the little river Sihl and trees on the side to have a breakfast/lunch or just a cup of coffee/tea. Very nice surprise to face all that green in spite the hotel being so close to busy roads. surprisingly short distance to walk to the main Bahnhof, or you just take the tram 3 or 14. So convenient. The room was nice and clean.
Mervi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Noisy room with old standard

Hotel was decent, check-in availability and the noise from the street was not great.
Gustav, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is right in the middle of everything, which is what we were looking for. It also meant the area was quite busy. and a bit of a walk from walking. It did have a portable AC windows unit, but you have to decide if you want to hear the outside noise or have AC. Overall a very nice hotel with multiple views of the river.
