YachtHotel Helvetia

This boutique hotel is situated directly at the waterfront of the Lake Constance within walking distance to the town centre. I believe it was renovated in 2020. Our room was rather quirky with the shower directly in the room and a small balcony with a great view of the lake, the tower, the bay, the lighthouse and the statue of a lion. It was big enough for two people and had sufficient storage space. The breakfast was really varied but maybe a little drawback - we tend to come to breakfast later, so some things were missing and not replenished. We also had a dinner in the same restaurant where the breakfast was served, which was quite a nice experience. The portions were big, by the way. The spa is out of this world, also offering a rooftop pool and a large sauna. We also booked a 90-minute package for two with a jacuzzi, a bottle of prosecco and a fruit platter. The service was impeccable and everybody was really helpful - the hotel does not have a room service but when we asked for a pizza and a bottle of wine to be delivered to the room, it was not an issue at all. All in all, it was really a pleasant two-day stay.

This is a very nice hotel with an unbeatable location....right at the harbor. The tour boats are right there and offer many options to explore Lake Konstanz. It was very busy by the harbor when we arrived on a Sunday but when the day trippers left, it was very peaceful and quiet...and truly beautiful. Room was very large but had one weird feature found in some European hotels that I do not understand. The shower was in the main part of the room and was essentially a glass box. No privacy whatsoever when one is showering. Why hotels do this, I don't know. Our friends had a room next to us and had a normal bathroom set-up so one could simply ask for a traditional bathroom/shower if you want to avoid this. Otherwise, bed was very comfortable and we had lots of space. We had a room on the side of the hotel so it was a bit dark. They have very nice spa facilities (one clothing-free area on the top floor) but other areas for lying and reading or whatever and other steam rooms, pools for bathing-suited guests. Very nice. Staff is lovely and breakfast had a good number of options. They have outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the harbor. We came with bicycles which were stored in a garage a few blocks away in very safe storage...basically a huge cubicle which is under the floor of a garage and is raised and lowered like an elevator. Very cool and very secure. Would absolutely stay here again but request a more traditional room.

This beautiful updated hotel is in a great location. Rooms are modern, spacious and so clean. The staff speaks English beautifully and the breakfast buffet is delicious. The parking is a bit tricky, but the staff is very helpful with that as well.
