The staff are great, friendly, efficient and helpful - They really make guests feel at home. Breakfast always has fresh fruit salad & birchermüesli made that morning, a wide selection... More

Traveling on a two-week business trip, I had to find a decent hotel over the weekend that allowed me to combine business and pleasure and this fit the bill nicely. It's a small hotel in the Zurich Altstadt so its location is fantastic --- walking distance to the train station and to many other sights (although the excellent public transportation... More

The Helmhaus is a small clean hotel where the scale of the place makes for a friendly pleasant atmosphere. Sure, the entrance foyer could have been larger, but a smile and a welcoming coffee made up for that. We requested a larger room with a quiet setting and this was met most adequately. The general location of the hotel was... More
