The attic suite is really top notch. Felt like staying in a city apartment; stylish and functional. Nice sitting area and efficiency kitchen, which was great for the night we brought take out back to the hotel. We brought our dog with us and this hotel is always welcoming of our pet. The bathroom could use some maintenance, but this is a minor complaint. The property is situated in a very walkable area and there are lots of entertainment and eating options. The main train station is a walkable distance from the hotel. When interacting with property staff you can be as ‘noticed’ or ‘unseen’ as you like. We saw that as a plus. Only real minus is the Expedia VIP perk; they give one pass for the onsite breakfast and as we are a couple this doesn’t really end up as a perk when you have to pay out of pocket for one of the meals. Based on a past stay we passed on the breakfast based on this alone, as it isn’t worth the cost of the breakfast meal for one.

Beautiful hotel

Beautifuly decorated attic suite we stayed it. It was quite roomy for the 3 of us and very comfortable. The hotel is about an 8 min walk to Zurich HB station and has lots of places nearby for a quick bite. We had the continental breakfast one morning and it wasn’t the best for kids so we skipped it after that. We would return to this hotel on our next trip for sure!!

Wonderful, friendly, central hotel

I loved my stay at Helvetia. I was only in town for 2 nights and the location gave me easy access to everything- restaurants, bars, shops, old town, train station, the lake. Staff was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The room was cozy but clean and comfortable. Would highly recommended!

Great location and the attic rooms are spacious and comfortable. Front door could use a new coat of paint…and since that is the first thing you see when we arriving, and first impressions mean something, it would be nice if those kind of maintenance items were taken care of; same goes for the mildew found on the shower ceiling and tiles in our room. Overall we love this place and have stayed a few times and are happy to call the Helvetia home when we are in Zurich. But, the property does need some attention.
