I stayed for five nights in this small, 4* boutique hotel, right in Zurich's noisy but lovely old part of town: overall it was a very good experience, given the well known fact that Zurich is expensive and that hence one night in "Helmhaus" Hotel costs about 300 Euros (for a bigger room in the "superior" category). Especially the friendly,... More

The room was very clean. Window overlooked street outside and was a bit noisy with window open on a hot summer day. Breakfast was not of great variety but price was good and was what I needed before starting off with a day of sightseeing. Was amazed by the small size of the lift..... Overall, a good hotel, very convenient... More

I just returned from a three day business trip in Zurich, and was delighted with my short stay at the Helmhaus. The hotel is ideally situated in the historic center of Zurich, a stone's throw away from all of Zurich's main attractions and restaurants. The staff is delightfully attentive and friendly as is the service. Special thanks to Nadja at... More

All the good things said below are true ...and much more! This small hotel is excellent value, ALL the staff extremely attentive (nothing was a bother), breakfast good as any 5 star, room 34 was comfortable with glimpses of lake, everything within easy walking distance (shops, restaurants and boats). The Helmhaus was probably the only part of our stay where... More

Through tripadvisor recommendations my husband and I booked the Hotel Helmhaus in December. We highly recommend this Hotel in Old Town Zurich. The staff was friendly and very helpful throughout our two night stay. The Hotel is centrally located and within walking distance to many of the beautiful sites of Old Town Zurich. As this was our first visit to... More

Only stayed one night but this place is well-located, fairly priced, well-appointed. I confirm the good breakfast and great people. Only two flaws. 1 Very small bathroom in my room on 4th floor (shower too small really and toilet poorly thought out. 2 No parking at the hotel so you will either have to battle with local parking restrictions or...

I highly recommend this hotel. Great location by the river, easy walking distance to the train station or the art gallery. Beware, however if driving, it is very difficult to find the road into the cobblestone square that leads to the hotel. Looks like a pedestrian only area. Even using a map app, we found it very confusing. Parking nearby... More

The Helmhaus is a solid choice for those looking for a simple, clean, contemporary, welcoming hotel. Very contemporary in styling, in the centre of Old City, the rooms were clear, albeit small, and well decorated in a contemporary style. The buffet breakfast was very good and the staff was exceptionally helpful and welcoming. I would stay here again.

As part of this years European holiday we decided to spend a few days in Zurich. We picked this hotel solely on the feedback and reviews it had on Tripadvisor. The hotel was central and the rooms were clean and well appointed. We were put in room 14 and whilst fine, it is on the same floor as the breakfast... More
