Boutique Hotel Helmhaus Zürich

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Hotel Helmhaus. This is a small privately run hotel with obvious management oversight. Friendly staff are helpful, hotel is in great shape, clean, nicely decorated and maintained. The location is absolutely fantastic for exploring Zurich. The breakfast is excellent. Overall everything spot on. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel. Ac didn’t work great. The tub/shower was REALLY high to step into. Great location.. taxi could pull right up to front for for luggage sake. The floors are very creeky (so when someone walked the floor above you, you knew it). The elevator is extremely tiny.

Small hotel in old city across from a bar and restaurants that are noisy until 1am even on weeknights. Close to river but views from room are blank walls. Rooms are small and not at all luxurious. Listed as a boutique hotel but we are not impressed. Clerk says it is boutique because all rooms are different but they all appear equally spartan . The clerk was not friendly and spoke English immediately to us even though we could speak German fluently. He told us briefly about how to get into the hotel and the hours for breakfast but not that breakfast was included. We unknowingly paid about $100 for breakfast for two for two days but never had breakfast because of his negligence to explicitly tell us that breakfast was included. This is not a hotel I would recommend especially at the high price charged There is essentially no lobby or concierge. If you want a hostel you will be satisfied.
