I spent two nights in the Hotel Helvetia with friends from the UK in April 2013. I'll start with the hotel's only good point, which is its location on the main street - not too far from the train or cable car stations. In every other respect, though, this hotel is abysmal and not a great advert either for Swiss... More

I just stay here for 1 night with my husband, I understood that the price of US$230 is nothing compared with other hotel in Zermatt. But I do really disappointed for the stay. It ok for no lift, but it's really a bit hard for us to move 2 large lugguages to the 3rd floor with its very narrow, deep... More

If you're looking for a perfect location in the very center of Zermatt, for a 'reasonable' price, look no further than Hotel Helvetia (and by reasonable I mean less than 400CHF per night). The hotel is situated on the main street in the city, and is right in the middle of the bar/restaurant scene of Zermatt, which is very convenient.... More

Being aware of supply and demand in the ski season we knew that finding a value for money hotel in Zermatt was going to be a challenge. The purpose of staying there was to catch the Glacier Express. Location is excellent in the main street and not far from station, contrary to other reviews we had a side room on... More

This hotel is located in the center of Zermott in the middle of all the shopping and nightlife. We stayed in the family room so it was very spacious. It had a bedroom, a large living room with an L-shaped couch and a bed and a nice kitchen. Breakfast is included but it is really nothing special.

We stayed two nights on a guided hiking trip so I can't speak to value. The location is excellent - close to the train station and downtown. Dinner and breakfast were included in our plan and both were good. The staff were kind and helpful. The rooms are quite small and very dated. Our room faced the street - on... More

Located on the main street just a few minutes from the train station. Room had balcony which was nice to sit outside in the evening. Breakfast included and was repetitive but nice- fruit, yogurt, rolls, cheese, meat, and cereal. Room so tiny there was nowhere to move once you brought the luggage in. Bathroom also tiny. No lift. Nice bakery... More

Accessed via a narrow steep staircase above the restaurant, the small rooms are good for short stays but lack of space would be an issue for longer. We had a room at the back which was quiet. Breakfast was good. Bathroom configuration was good for acrobats but of the rest of us.
