Helmhaus Boutique Hotel is at the heart of Old Town Zurich by the World Famous Limmatquai. Very closed to everything you need to see around Zurich. Nearby there is a lot of small shops and across the River is the famous Bahnofstrasse also Zurich Hautbahnhoff or Central Station is within a walking distance.if not you can take the very efficient Suisse Tram nearby-Helmhaus Station. Or let your taxi takes you in front of the hotel lobby. Our Room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The bed is also super comfortable. There is a free coffee and hot drinks with pastries especially at night 24/7 actually. Breakfast is super good and a lot of healthy options, Dining Area is very clean. Staff were all very polite, friendly, attentive and accomodating, shout out to Eugene, Nilda and Catherina and all the rest of the staff. Shampoos and Toilet amenities were also excellent and looks like a high end brands. There is also a mini bar and.keetle to boil water for your coffee and tea. Very excellent Hotel in Zurich. We highly recommend to everyone who needs a great hotel for the price when visiting Zurich.

We stayed 2 nights in family room which ended up being 2 bed/2ba. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of space. Area around hotel is great, easy access to historic sites, dining, art galleries and shopping. We walked from Train station at about 9pm with kids and felt safe.The walk along the river is very nice.

Three days in Zurich

The hotel was meticulously clean and located in the best possible location in Old Town Zurich. Close to everything in a safe area with only 10 minute walk to Lake Zurich. The rooms were a bit on the smaller size but the decor and comfort on the beds were excellent. The staff were especially helpful and friendly and were ready to assist on places to go and where to dine.Your staff member Paul was especially helpful with recommendations.
