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.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The location is very convenient but it is also above a bar which must stay open until 5am on weekends (not sure about during the week). Makes it a bit hard to sleep with the noise. Also note it is up a couple of flights of stairs with no elevator. There is no front desk, they just leave a key on a peg board for you. This is basically a worn out budget hotel. The bed was actually comfortable. Internet was a bit spotty. Overall if you can afford another hotel I would suggest not staying here, but if you plan to party all night this is a perfect choice.

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.
