Positive Reviews

positive:

Convenient for getting around Paris

Popular with many past guests was the Helvetia Hotel's location when it came to exploring Paris. Its position right next to the Gare de Lyon train station was regularly highlighted as an advantage, while the hotel is also within walking distance of popular attractions like the Notre Dame Cathedral and Place des Vosges.

positive:

Friendly and communicative staff

The staff members were, despite a small amount of negative comments, commended by former guests that stayed at the hotel. Along with a friendly and helpful manner, the accommodation's personnel were categorised as generally having a good command of the English language.

positive:

Hygiene standards at a respectable level

In most cases, previous guests were pleased with the hygiene standards on display at the Helvetia Hotel. The rooms and en-suite spaces were typically described as clean and tidy.


Negative Reviews

negative:

Overly basic throughout

The basicness of the Helvetia Hotel was disappointing for numerous past visitors. As well as a lack of public facilities such as a bar or fitness centre, the hotel's rooms have also been labelled as excessively basic with a restricted amount of amenities.

negative:

Narrow stairs difficult to negotiate

Various former guests have claimed that they had difficulty in traversing the hotel's stairs - an issue that was further compounded when carrying luggage. And while the accommodation does supply a lift, it is said to be very small and dated.

negative:

Located in a noisy area of the city

Whilst its location was praised in terms of travelling around Paris, it has been stated that the Helvetia Hotel is positioned in a noisy area of the city. With that said, this noise is supposedly blocked out for the most part if the room windows remain closed.
