Hotel Helmhaus is small, well situated and the service is very friendly and warm. The rooms and bathrooms are comfortable and provide all that one requires. The breakfast is excellent, offering cooked as well as cold options. Highly recommended.

This hotel was ideally located within walking distance of everything you wanted to do. They were so helpful at any request we had. I also loved the Nespresso and litle sweets in the lobby (that I certainly ate too often). The rooms are very well designed and spacious and the breakfast perfect to start the day. Zurich is very expensive... More

A small but totally refurbished and modernized property. Quite literally, it looks like millions have been spent! Very well spent indeed. Perfect location very close to the lake and old town. Extremely warm, hospitable, responsive and helpful staff; these fine people have been trained in a style and art of hospitality that is very hard to find anywhere. Exceptionally fine... More

This is a delightful boutique hotel set right in the centre of the old part of Zurich. Easily reached by tram from the central station or only a 10 minute walk.
