I can recommend the Helvetia Hotel. We were immediately given a room with a kitchen and dining area, which was great. Staff were friendly and helpful and the two restaurants linked to the hotel are both great after a busy day.

From this metro station you can also... More

Helvetia Hotel was absolutely superb! The friedliest staff we have found anywhere in the world in a city hotel. Impeccably clean, very beautiful rooms, top comfort level, nice and practical bathroom, generous and delicious breakfast buffet.
