Doesn’t match the pictures but nice nevertheless
Pros:

The biggest disappointment about this hotel is that what we saw do not match the photos online. The reception area is so basic I wondered if we were in the wrong hotel - in fact I asked if it was indeed the right hotel. To be honest, it’s not a bad hotel at all and just fine. We might even stay there again now that we know what to expect, but it was a real let down visually compared to the online photos on its website and other advertising material. It’s clean, modernized inside and staff are friendly and helpful.

Pros:

Die Lage war sehr zentral. Kurze Fusswege zum Zentrum und auch z.B. zum Volkshaus.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch unsere Anfrage beim Check-In für ein Zusatzbett war problemlos möglich, vielen Dank dafür!
Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder im Helvetia buchen!

Cons:

Einziger Nachteil war, dass das Hotel über keine eigenen Parkplätze verfügt.
Für das Parkhaus "City Parking" gab es einen 25% Coupon.
