For the price you pay its pretty good. It's clean and simple. We got a room that fits 3 and the bunk is on top of full size bed. The bathroom door doesn't have a lock just a simple door, like a closet door (so if u bunking with others that ur not to close too they can hear ur business in there, lol.) It's cheaper than a lot of the other hotels near by. MCDonald is literally the next parking over so u can walk to that. Free WIFI!!!!! And good signal too! That was a major plus!!!! Would stay again here if we in the area. read more

Efficient clean rooms in a good location near shops and restaurants.It is one of the less expensive hotels I could find online, because after all, this is Switzerland. There's a nice lobby with a bar that runs 24/7 which has comfy chairs and free wifi to enjoy along with a glass of wine or mug of beer plus a snack, free peanuts even. We found better food options down the street with better prices however. The room has a small tv, and a good sized shower. The location is very quiet. I would stay here again. McDonalds is across the parking lot so skip the breakfast's additional charge. read more

I am an American and my Swiss husband and I have recently moved to Switzerland to make our home here. We picked the IBIS Budget Hotel because my husband had stayed there overnight once some years ago and we thought we would only stay a few nights until we found an apartment. We also thought we had researched all the current buzz about the area of Winterthur but sadly, we lacked one important piece of information: there is not one available apartment in the entire area and people are lining up in droves to rent even marginal ones. So our stay at the IBIS turned into one lasting almost 7 weeks! I have to say the we both have stayed in swank hotels in America and in Europe over the years and had something to base this review upon. That said, this little place stacked up to all of them is so many ways. Don't get me wrong, The rooms are tiny with a double bed and a "berth" bed over the top of it which is perfect for a child, or if three kids want to stay in one room or for our purposes- it was a good place to put our enormous luggage. But the major praise I have to give is that the room and the hotel were fastidiously clean, with everything one would need for basic comfort and with a staff as good in service and attitude as any 5 star venue. Everyone there bent over backward to make our time there comfortable and believe me, after 7 weeks, we were not exactly "low" maintenance people. If you are visiting Winterthur for one of the many festivals or events the city offers or have young people going there or just stopping for one night's rest before going on to another destination, I urge to make the IBIS Budget Hotel your choice. Why not save the money you would spend on a fancy hotel room you will never be in and spend it on something more fun...like chocolate. read more
