Lovely little hotel. Extremely pleasant staff. Big restaurant on first and second floors serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. There's no gym, but you can do a lot of walking in Zürich. The staff goes home at night so the room key doubles for after-hours access. The restaurant is quite the night scene, but they close down around midnight. There's another... More

Recently stayed for a night while in Zurich. This is a really cool hip modern hotel. Great location. Easy walk to old town and mass transportation like subway bus and trains. Rooms are chic. Good size for 2 people who will be out enjoying the city and not sitting in their room. Very clean and new. Nice amenities. Great for... More

During recent stay in Zurich, came across this really nice small hotel, with a nice view on the canal. The price was moderate and the room even if a little small was cosy. I recommend this place to anyone travelling to Zurich. Great shower. Downstairs there is a great bar/restaurant really quite in the day but gets busy at night... More

If you're like me and like a little privacy from your work colleagues when traveling on business this place is a perfect choice. Take the reviewers advice and get a quiet room overlooking the river. And if you're flexible enough to go down and collect your own food orders downstairs you will find yourself in a perfectly decorated, quiet and... More

I've stayed here with my wife for a couple of times already and enjoyed the stay. There are very small and larger rooms. The rooms are clean and there is everything you need. Breakfast is pretty good. Location, as Zurich is small anyway, great. Staff friendliness depends on whom you are talking to, some are very nice and helpful, others... More

Helvetia is a no frills hotel on downtown Zurich that has pretty much all that a business traveller would look for. The rooms are fine with a good bed and high quality linen. The bathroom in my room was small but adequate with only a shower and plenty of hot water. The hotel has a super high speed wifi and... More

In my first visit to Zurich I stayed at the wonderful Hotel Helvetia. It was ideally located for my office nearby. They even arranged transport to and from the airport, which worked out much less than the quotes I was getting online. I only had the opportunity to have a drink in the bar but it was a very friendly... More

Great small hotel with an excellent bar and dining room downstairs. More of a modern take on a traditional corner bar, with nice boutique hotelly rooms above. Limited facilities if you are looking for a spa and pool, but very central, great atmosphere, great bar and delicious food. Popular with locals and very god access to everywhere by tram, taxi...

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, left and came back another 4 nights. I was given different rooms and while the first was small, I had a desk, chair and two side tables with a phone and TV. I was surprised though when I turned the temperature controller on the wall but could detect no difference. When I... More
