Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were a nice size and comfortable, the lack of clear information on additional costs was a downside. The service, although friendly and helpful, seemed inconsistent in the breakfast room. The location, although convenient for the Oktoberfest and close to the train station, was marred by the noisy passing trains. The dining options were satisfactory with a good variety, and overall facilities were adequate.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms but some train noise. The breakfast was excellent, facing an 8-railway station directly. The friendly service and proximity to the city center were great, although a bit of a walk uphill from the train station.
The hotel is a mixed bag with its pros and cons. The location is excellent, being right next to the train station, but the rooms can be noisy and sub-standard. The service is helpful and professional, although the dining experience is good but not extensive. The facilities offer basic amenities.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and large with hard wooden floors, but they were hot as there was no air-conditioning and cost more than expected. The service was a hit or miss - some staff members were friendly and helpful, while others seemed stressed and unfriendly. The location was nice and easy to access from the train station, but not clear for navigation. The dining was good with a variety of European and American breakfast options. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was comfortable and enjoyable overall. The spacious rooms with a fan were pleasant, but the view of the train tracks prevented me from opening the window at night. I believe air conditioning would have been more effective given the location.
The hotel offers comfortable and spacious rooms, typical of a 4-star hotel, although it's better to request a front-facing room to avoid noise from the train line. The service is friendly, helpful, and attentive, making guests feel truly valued. The location is convenient, a 10-minute uphill walk from Winterthur train station, with access to the city center. The dining experience is delightful, with a variety of delicious options. The facilities are well-maintained and contribute to an enjoyable stay.
I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were quite comfortable and well priced for Switzerland, with very comfortable beds and a nice bathroom. The breakfast was excellent, although the rooms felt a little warm at times. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient, just a 10-minute walk uphill from Winterthur train station, but it could be noisy being next to the railway. The dining experience was delightful, offering a variety of European and American breakfast options. Overall, a great value for money with some minor room temperature issues.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, despite being close to the train station and facing noisy railway tracks, were surprisingly comfortable. However, the sub-standard basement room without natural light was quite unattractive. The staff were friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to assist guests. The location, while convenient in terms of proximity to the central station, was overshadowed by the noisy passing trains. The dining experience offered good quality but lacked variety and seemed overpriced for what was available.
The hotel is conveniently located above the train station and rail road, with rates ranging from 120-150 CHF per night. While the noise from parties below can be bothersome due to facing an 8-rail railway station, the friendly service and range of amenities provided good value for money.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was modern, well furnished, and clean, offering all the necessary amenities. The service was friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to assist with any requests. The location was conveniently just a short walk from the central station. The dining experience was good quality, although slightly expensive for the variety offered. The facilities were satisfactory.
