The Hotel Helvetia was perfect for my short stay in Zermatt. I had read many of the previous reviews so I was prepared. The hotel is a short 5 minute walk from the train station, there is no elevator and my room was quite small but had a balcony overlooking the street filled with people. The hotel is surrounded by shops and restaurants. This hotel was quite reasonably priced and in a great location.

Clean, budget friendly hotel. The hotel is surrounded by 4 busy bars that close around 4am. So if you are going out, the hotel is very conveniently located. If you want to rest at night, probably not for you. Staffs are friendly.

Excellent location in the city center. Next to the church and the famous Hotel Monte Rosa. With a view of Matterhorn. However, the hotel is a very old wood building with very small rooms, no elevator, no English TV channel and poor WiFi.

Liked: Cleanliness
I guess the hotel was okay for the price. The challenge was going up the stairs with our heavy luggage. The triple room had only two double beds together. The shower room was so small I kept banging my arm while soaping. Positive side is that it’s where all the shops are located & walking distance to view the Matterhorn.

The hotel was under construction but nice with an excellent location. The food options around were quite expensive which was expected. We spent majority of a day in the park with an excellent view of the Matterhorn (5 minute walk).

Great location, the room was a little bit small but we were out most of the time. r I should add on the street people were singing and laughing late into the night. It woke us up and the kids had a little bit of hard time sleeping.

I was traveling with my sister. We are aged 71 & 72. The hotel had no lift. We climbed 7 flights o very narrow stairs. We each had 2 suitcases. The room had heat only in the bathroom. Only one light in the bathroom. There was NO water in the bathtub and shower. We had 3 days of bathing in the sink. The plugs for charging phones etc were up by the ceiling. There was one blanket for 2 people. TV did not work. No refrigerator. We set bottled drinks on the outside windowsill to keep them cool. The church tower was outside the room, beautiful, however the bells rang every 15 minutes. The absolute worst was not having a lift. I would rate the experience as a zero star but zero star is not an option!!!!!
