Hotel Helmhaus is an excellent hotel with friendly, helpful staff. It's very centrally located, right beside the Grossmunster Cathedral on the river (between the Bahnhof and the lake). The rooms are comfortable and reasonably sized, with all the necessary conveniences. Prices are extremely reasonable for a modern city centre hotel in a city as expensive as Zurich. There are many... more

We stayed at the Helmhaus for 2 nights in May, 2008. This is a great place to stay and affordable by Zurich standards. Centrally located within walking distance of the major site seeing and shopping areas. The rooms are not large but certainly adequate and the bath was nice sized -- both were very clean. The hotel was very quiet... more

Stayed 6 nights at the Helmhaus. Excellent city centre hotel, and the staff are very helpful. The double glazing is excellent and keeps out the majority of sounds. The Helmhaus minibar prices compare favourably with bar prices in Zurich so don't despair that the hotel doesn't have a bar; a beer or a glass of wine or a coke light... more

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights in March. After much research we decided on Helmhaus. What a great choice we made. The hotel was perfect for us. It was in an absolute wonderful location, close enough to everything, yet far enough not to be too noisy. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the breakfast was... more

Helmhaus is perfectly located right by the Grossmunster. A 2 minute walk across the bridge gets you to the best part of the Bahnhoffstrasse shopping. Another 5-10 min walk gets you to the Opera house and the boats on the Lake. Hotel is smallish, clean, extremely friendly service. Tiny elevator but they took our stuff upstairs for us. Room not... more

We did a lot of research online to find a hotel that was family-friendly but, had the location and European flavor that we all craved. The hotel was perfect. From the wonderful staff that greeted us every morning and evening... more
