ibis Winterthur City Hotel 2 stars

I asked a quite room to prepare for my exam. but the room is closed to the Lift where some restoration works went on. The worker is kind enough to completed his work in short time. But what I do not like is the reception that did not care at all to my request. Apart from it, they stay is fine.

Upon arrival we were met by a friendly female member of staff, ( I apologize for not remembering her name) who informed us of an upgrade of hotel , which we were happy about . The lift was out of action during our stay, and she walked up 4 flights of stairs in the sweltering heat, to show us how to get from one hotel to the other!! Thank you so much for that, our suitcases were really heavy!! The room was a little basic by Ibis standard, hard to ascertain whether air conditioning was working or not, using our logic nothing seemed to to produce cold air, our room was facing a resdiential building with balconies, and so a curtain for a little privacy would have been apprciated. !! The area surrounding the hotel is nice and lively in the evening, my teenage daughters liked that we could go for a walk , and dine in walking distance. Thanks again to the wonderrful staff !

good staying

The room was clean and pleasant. We liked the well maintained bathroom and shower. The breakfast was very good. We also received the Spelt flour bread, the rolls, and the lactose free milk we ordered ahead of time. We would stay at an ibis hotel again. The only thing that caught us of guard was the 16 Euro charge for parking. Also, it might be helpful reminding people somewhere, maybe on line, about the parking fee and to bring an adapter. Again, it was a good stay.!

Booked a 3 person room with 1 double + 1 single bed in the ibis Winterthur City (note: this was not the cheaper "ibis budget" variant!). The ibis website nicely announces this room with a "new sleep-easy concept". The size of the room is a no-go; super tiny; hardly usable with 3 people! The single bed is very uncomfortable, basically a foldable spare bed with two rigid and unsuspended bars in the middle, definitely no "sleep-easy". Location is not that great either, next to a McDrive in a somewhat deserted area. Staff was not very cooperative either. Would not recommend it to a friend.

Fast efficient and friendly

As many times before we stayed at ibis Winterthur and everything was as good as it use to be. The only thing that disappointed me was that I got an e-mail on October 18th from Accor hotels telling me (in person) that if I book now I get 30 % off + free breakfasts. I did that (pushed the button) but was not able to find any such deal and did not get the discount nor the free breakfasts. I tried to explain this first by mail and then when visiting the hotel, but nothing could be done, no one could explain what happened. I feel cheated on this.

The hotel is conveniently located near public transportation that brings you into the city. It was clean and efficiently furnished for a good price, with a satisfying breakfast.

As an intermediate hotel on our voyage. Comfortable beds for sleeping and early good breakfast.

Everything perfect during my staying there, as usual when I'm going there for business trip. Employee are taking care of you feeling comfortable and "at home" and trying to satisfy every extra request in a very short time.

Everything was simply perfect.

the room was lacking of plugs for travelers from abroad, and plugs in the bathroom. Also, the carpet and in general the room was not 100%. However, the staff at the reception and in the restaurant was very friendly.

Access to local transport VERY GOOD. Access to Motorway network very good On site parking very good English speaking T V Channels available EXCELLENT Reception staff EXCELLENT Breakfast was what we have come to expect from the Ibis chain. It is still a pity tea / coffee facility is not available in the rooms.

The hotel is conveniently located very near (3 busstops away) to the city centre of Winterthur. Equally very near to the main train station with very regular connections to -amongst other- Zürich and Zürich Airport. It has a parking facilities and the rooms are clean and functional. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Within walking distance from the station, the hotel is conveniently located. The room was cozy and was cleaned everyday. One can have a sumptuous breakfast as the buffet includes warm rice (no warm side dishes though!) , fresh wafers and Bircher Muesli. The hotel has a bar serving other meals too but as I was out in the town everyday, I did not use that facility. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only thing I missed is the facility to make tea or coffee and a mini bar in the room.
