We stayed 2 nights in family room which ended up being 2 bed/2ba. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of space. Area around hotel is great, easy access to historic sites, dining, art galleries and shopping. We walked from Train station at about 9pm with kids and felt safe.The walk along the river is very nice.

Three days in Zurich

The hotel was meticulously clean and located in the best possible location in Old Town Zurich. Close to everything in a safe area with only 10 minute walk to Lake Zurich. The rooms were a bit on the smaller size but the decor and comfort on the beds were excellent. The staff were especially helpful and friendly and were ready to assist on places to go and where to dine.Your staff member Paul was especially helpful with recommendations.

Lovely property that was right in the middle of the most touristy area of town, walking distance to everything we wanted to see. Checkin and checkout were a breeze. The rooms were family style with 2 separate hotel rooms and an adjoining small foyer. It was a great solution to traveling with our 2 kids. We actually would have had enough space for 5 with the extra bed they set up and the 2 queen beds. The breakfast was amazing and we were treated so nicely by the attendant. Would most definitely repeat of we returned.

Great choice for families!

Hi, the lobby and the lobby bathroom is very small so it is a bit inconvenient to change clothes if you are coming directly from your flight prior to check-in. Other than that, I have only positive things to say. Very spacious rooms. Modern bathrooms. Excellent service at the front desk. Great area.

We liked everything the Boutique Helmhaus Hotel has to offer, from the exceptionally warm reception of the staff to the delicious breakfast buffet to the convenience of the location (to tram and trains, and to various sites along the Limmat River, enabling us to see as much of Zurich Old Town as possible in less than a day). Staying at Helmhaus made a great start to our 1-week Switzerland adventure.
