“Great location. Small rooms and very pricey.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

Stayed here last winter during a 3 day break with my wife. The staff are very friendly and helpful, as they are all over the city, and the location is superb for sightseeing and for evening entertainment. However, the room was very small and we paid A LOT of money for the privilege. Having said that, we didn't have any major complaints and loved our trip despite almost breaking the bank in the process!

It is nice to read that you enjoyed your stay with us, thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Our Hotel Helmhaus is a small boutique hotel in the oldtown of Zurich with its small medieval houses and guildhalls. Having a hotel in one of those wonderful, traditional and historic buildings puts restrictions on the size of the rooms. But we encourage every guest to visit our homepage or to contact the hotel directly to inform themselves about our rooms.

We wish you all the best for the new year.

Your Helmhaus Management Team.

“Cleanness, Breakfast, Location and Friendliness”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

These are the outstanding qualities of this hotel, which is a tiny hotel extremely well located, at walking distance from almost any touristic location in Zurich. We never walked more than 20 minutes (how good is Zurich to walk when you can not do it in your own home town). The hotel is basically a place to sleep,and to have breakfast before heading out, but it has this nice feeling of welcomeness as you get in.The rooms are tiny, as well as the bathroom, but very clean. The breakfast (included in my case) was a very assorted buffet with mainly healthy food (of course you will find scrambled eggs and bacons), but fruits, yogurts and cereals are there waiting for you. Just in front of the hotel there is a small boulevard which is your starting point to either start walking Zurich, or if you prefer, take the tram. The public transportation in Switzerland is outstanding, and in my opinion you don't even need to take a taxi to move around (in fact we did not take one single cab)

Thank you for having been our guests, it is nice to know that you had a good time in Zurich, and that it was even more enjoyable by staying in our little Hotel Helmhaus. Lots of our guests value the location and the closeness to the most major sights.
Even if one spends only the night and breakfast time in a hotel, this attributes a lot to the comfort of a guest's stay. We are glad that we have achieved this for you.

We look forward to welcome you back in the future to one of the most historic and traditional hotels in Zurich.

Your Helmhaus Management Team.

“A Warm Welcome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

I was greeted warmly after a very long journey and immediately felt at home. Reception staff were exceptionally helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, the immaculate preparation area visible from the tables. Beautiful, spotless surroundings, a very good night - what more can one ask?

“Wonderful staff”

This is a great hotel with great central location. The breakfast is delicious and fresh and included in the room rate. The nightcap (also offered any time of the day) is a great way to warm up at the end of the day and is yummy. The rooms are comfortable and very clean and the bathrooms adequate but not very soundproof/private.

Room Tip: Top floor rooms are great. Look out the window and see the mountains on a clear day.

Thank you for your positive feedback about your stay and our hotel. Like you lots of our guests value the cleanliness and service in our hotel and the Swiss Breakfast buffet.
In January and February 2012 we will renovate the bathrooms of the three lower floors. The ones on 4th and 5th floor haven been done in 2010. Also all our rooms have been equipped with soundproof windows. With this the comfort and privacy of our hotel’s bathrooms will improve.
We look forward to welcome you back in the future to the smalles and most centrally located Four-Star Hotel of Zurich.
