We stayed 9 nights, and this was our third stay at this brilliant Hotel as the location is perfect and the staff extremely friendly and helpful and their English is excellent. Especially a very big thank you (MERCI) to Gregory who aided us with a few things and answered many of our questions. Jean and Pierre as our previous visits... more

Free internet. Room was clean and much bigger than expected, great place if you're going to be out the entire day and want quiet and safe place to sleep....and... more

We just came back from staying 4-nights at Helvetique since we were looking for a trade-down during the credit crunch. We were thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness and large size (high ceiling was a plus) for a 2-star hotel. The location was exceptional, right next to Galeries Lafayette, walking distance to both SNCF and the bus station as well as... more

Just to add our compliments with the previous opinions. We also want to add about the close proximity to the bus depot for buses out to outlying areas (fares are very cheap like Euro 1.30 to Antibes) for day excursions. Also the bus going to the airport stops only about 2 blocks away. We did not have their breakfast but... more

Hotel Helvetique suited our party of three 26 year old girls just fine. We got a triple room in July and paid 86.40euro per night. For that price, this hotel was good value. There's a lift which saves you from dragging your luggage up stairs. Always a bonus. The decor in the room is quite daggy (think padded toilet door),... more

Spent one night here. Great location, large and comfortable room - we stayed in a double room that had a bathroom and shower. It was october and unusually hot in the FR, but the staff said that they couldnt turn the air on - sounds like BS to me. Also, got some terrible advice on where to go and what... more

We stayed at this hotel because our plan was to travel around Nice and explore Cote d'Azur with the intention of spending as little time in the hotel as possible. For that reason we booked Hotel Helvetique for 4 nights. To be honest, we did not expect to be treated well at this 2-star hotel. However, imagine our surprise when... more

Hotel Helvetique, Nice I stayed at the Helvetique for 4 nights with a friend of mine and we shared a twin room. Location: Simply perfect. Around the corner from Place Massena, which is great at night due to all the street performers and crowds of people going to restaurants in the streets just off the square. It's a nice area... more
