Boutique & Art Hotel Helvetia, hotel in Zürich

Boutique & Art Hotel Helvetia is located in the city centre of Zurich, right at the Sihl River, between the banking district and the trendy Kreis 4 district.

Location was fantastic - we walked with our cases from the train station (10mins) and it was close and walkable to most things in Zürich city centre. It also has a restaurant on site that looked great however we ended up eating elsewhere during our short stay I chose this hotel versus a regular chain for a more Zürich “local” experience and it delivered (architecture, smaller boutique hotel etc) The junior suite was very spacious and comfortable for the three of us The library area that offered guests an option of seating on a balcony by the river was great too

    Nice good value hotel which is only a short walk from the tram to the city centre. The room was clean and modern, the bed was comfortable and although the bathroom and shower cubicle were small, they were perfectly appropriate for a budget hotel. My room was at the back of the hotel and I didn’t not hear any noise from the road. The room also had a small desk and chair. The hotel allowed me to check in an hour early. The restaurant at the sister hotel next door was very convenient. I would definitely stay here again.
