Boutique Hotel Helmhaus Zürich

It’s always good to revisit a hotel you stayed in before (this my third) to ascertain if they have kept up their standards. Helmhaus is in a prime (but quiet) location adjacent to old town Zurich accessible to transport and easy walking distance to a number of sites. Many restaurants for every taste are nearby. It’s small and quiet, (24 rooms) employs an excellent staff who are welcoming and knowledgeable. The rooms are not large but the layout is efficient and comfortable. Shower with a full tub, great water pressure and plenty of hot water are definite pluses. Helmhaus may be in contention for the world’s smallest elevator (one passenger + luggage) but it does the job. A rapid turnaround laundry service is available for those in need, I arrived at 1300h and had it back by 1800h. The breakfast room and the adjacent relaxing sitting area are among the most pleasant I have encountered, with superb service offering a good selection of eggs, juices, breads, fruits, cheeses, meats, yogurt, etc. and excellent coffee, brewed to your specifications. As testimony to their helpful and stable staff I recognized two key members that were there 6 years ago. Finally high functioning Wi-Fi access.

Excellent boutique hotel, perfect in every way for our requirements. Safe location, lovely party of the Old Town, walking distance to lovely river side attractions including restaurants. We highly recommend Mere Catherine and Restaurant Le Dézaley Zürich. Hotel reception staff were the best - super friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful, email communications from England beforehand were always well received and prompt responses. Rooms spacious light airy bright stylish, not cluttered, sophisticated and smart decor. room facilities perfect, lovely bathrooms big showers, very comfy bed, air con perfect. Very peaceful at night. Breakfast was DELICIOUS - fabulous selection, perfectly cooked hot food, very lovely friendly breakfast staff. We were made to feel so comfortable by everyone, it was a pleasure to stay, we will return if we are in Zurich again, highly recommend this hotel

My 4th stay at one of my all-time favorite boutique hotels. Multiple return bookings speaks to the issue, “Worth the price of admission”. Little has changed, this small well-located boutique hotel continues to maintain its high level of service. Here are the Key Points Summarized: 1. Excellent location, but tranquil, adjacent to “Old Town” & multiple restaurants 2. Small size (24 Rooms) 3. Superb, helpful staff, good English, Umbrellas provided in case of rain 4. Delicious breakfast + NY Times (international Edition) 5. Good value, Best for single adults or couples 6. High functioning Wi-Fi 7. Comfortable beds + excellent water pressure 8. 15-minute walk to Zurich main train station 9. Directly on two tram lines and a 5-minute walk to others

Great staff. I wasn't expecting to get a little treat for my birthday. THANK YOU for that. The hotel is very well located within walking distance from main attractions and seems recently renovated. I liked the art book explaining the paintings hanging in the rooms (great addition).

Central location close to the main train station and old town. Hotel is very nice and simple, room was clean and big enough for four of us. Very clean. Breakfast was delicious, offered many options from salty to sweet. Staff very friendly and helpful with all questions and requests. I can only recommend
