We only stayed for one night, however the hotel was clean, reception was very pleasant and the room was comfortable. The heated floors and river views really made the stay extra special.

Great location and the attic rooms are spacious and comfortable. Front door could use a new coat of paint…and since that is the first thing you see when we arriving, and first impressions mean something, it would be nice if those kind of maintenance items were taken care of; same goes for the mildew found on the shower ceiling and tiles in our room. Overall we love this place and have stayed a few times and are happy to call the Helvetia home when we are in Zurich. But, the property does need some attention.

I loved this hotel! It was slightly out of the main tourist area so it was quieter but still accessible to transit and walkable to many places. There are many lovely touches such as the art and beautiful wallpaper. The breakfast is delicious. Highly recommend.
