Helmhaus SwissQHotel is one of the hotels in Zurich offered by Expedia in their flight plus hotel deals, and this is how we discovered it. Whilst not the cheapest option, its central location meant we could save both time and money travelling to and from the city. What's more, breakfast is included in the price. Reviews on Tripadvisor were very favourable, and a look at the hotel's website further encouraged us to make it our choice. We did not regret this.
My son and his partner booked a double room for three nights, and I booked a single for one night only. I cannot comment on how easy it is to book the hotel directly, as our reservations were made through Expedia. We booked in June for a stay in late August.
All three of us travelled with hand luggage only, and in about fifteen minutes we were easily able to walk from Zurich ...
Advantages: Style, Rooms, Staff Disadvantages: Not in the nicest part of town
The Hotel:
Hotel Greulich is a "Design Hotel" located close to the centre of Zurich (Switzerland) and is named after Herman Greulich, a Polish social reformer who emigrated to Switzerland and founded the first Socialist Party of Switzerland (the hotel is situated on the corner of Herman-Greulich Strasse).
On arrival, my wife and I were a bit disappointed with the building from the outside. Although it was a unusual and cool exterior design, it looked like it needed sprucing up a bit. The windows on the 1st floor and above looked quite old, etc. but at ground floor level, it did look "Design", with a modern looking bar and restaurant.
After parking in the secure car park behind the hotel (20 Swiss Francs (CHF) per day), we checked in at reception and were taken to our room. The room was in a small interior courtyard ...
Advantages: Picturesque, relaxing Disadvantages: None for me

The Zurichsee Schiffahrt company runs boat trips of various durations on Lake Zurich. As time was limited, we chose a trip that lasted just one hour at a cost of ten Swiss Francs each (about £6.50). We paid by debit card and had the choice of paying in sterling or local currency. This particular trip set off at ten minutes past noon, and you could sit inside and have lunch if you wanted to for an extra cost. The weather was beautiful and we wanted to admire the views, so we decided to sit outside on the front deck. It wasn't particularly crowded and we were able to move around easily and take photographs; towards the end of the trip passengers who had finished lunch did wander out on deck and fill up most of the seats. Even though the temperature was just over 30 degrees Celsius, the breeze on the lake made the sun quite bearable.
What did surprise ...
