I stayed here for two nights while touring Switzerland with my Swiss girlfriend and 8-year-old son…read more We loved it! Our room was spacious and clean and had its own bathroom. Like most places in Switzerland it does not have air conditioning, so if you are American and used to AC, be advised. The hostel also features a rooftop terrace where we ate dinner both nights, as well as a kitchen and lounge area with drinks for sale. The location is also a bonus. This hostel is built into an old building that was part of a former industrial complex of warehouses, factories, train depots, etc. Just outside the hostel is a brewpub, a cafe, and a truly spectacular Skills Park, which, if you are traveling with kids, they will love. The hostel is also right down the street from the main train station of Winterthur. Overall this is a great spot to stay!

I could only stay in Depot 195 for one night but I can assure you this place is great. Very comfy…read morerooms and great showers/bathrooms. The man (sadly can't remember his name) who helped me at reception was very very welcoming. He had great English and was incredibly nice. He showed us some cool spots to check out and good restaurants. Cleanliness is a strong suit here. Very happy with the stay!

I think this is the first HI hostel I've been to where it's not compulsory to be a HI member…read more Certainly this is the first where there were mixed sex rooms. The crowd kept to themselves, probably because this hostel is so big, the common area does not facilitate interaction (which is a flip side of a large, spacious common area). It welcomes guests of all ages, unlike some which (try to) enforce (relative) youth in guests. A good breakfast with a good spread is included in the price (there're even some local products), and it starts at 6am! Lunch & dinner are also available at reasonable prices (for Switzerland). The room was quite roomy. The power socket was really near bed - just above it, though it was recessed as is common in Switzerland so not all power adaptors will be able to use it. The lockers were both in the room and large.

However, one thing that concerned us were, surprise parking fee which was not mentioned before. Overall it's pricey but maybe worth it!

Nice and cute hostel, decent beds, nice staff, decent price, and about a 25 minute walk from the…read moremain train station, and even less than a 20 minute walk to other nearby attractions. I recommend a restaurant and pub called Cafe Atlantik, which is a 5 minute walk or less.

Sandra Jativa and the staff handled a situation horribly. The room had what appeared to be black…read moremold and was completely unacceptable to stay in. Instead of taking responsibility, staff gave misleading information, told us to go through Booking.com for a refund, then later denied everything and changed their story. The entire experience was dishonest, unprofessional, and disgusting. We left because we did not feel safe or comfortable staying there

We stayed for 3 nights, the first 2 with 3 people, and the third night with 4 people. The 3-person…read moreroom was very tight, but the 4 person room was quite spacious and comfortable. Everything worked well for us, although the shower water would fluctuate erratically between hot and cold, and when we made trips to reception, there were others noting a light or AC wasn't working. We had a good experience though, especially toward the end with the nice room. The staff were all very reasonable and patient. There was free water and available amenities with a refundable cash deposit (hair dryer, adapter, umbrella, etc). The location was good, and everything was clean. Despite the small room size, I'd honestly stay again!

Great youth hostel for Switzerland. It is immaculate and the location is tip-top. The staff was…read morealso very welcoming and friendly. I am not going to lie to you. As are most accommodations in Switzerland, the youth hostel is pretty expensive. Regardless, it is an ideal hostel and a great place to spend your time in Basel. Plus, he hostel is situated on the most adorable little brook! Sehr romantisch denke ich.

The Kronenhof is a business hotel in a central location in Schaffhausen. The hotel is easy to get…read moreto from the train station and if you are in Schaffhausen the location is good. Friendly personnel and everyone spoke English well enough. The room I had was on the top floor with a nice balcony with a view of the church and the Munot fortress. Other than the balcony the room was fairly standard with a nice big bed, mini-bar, free wifi (did not work all the time) and LCD-TV. What I did miss was coffee/tea making facilities as well as an iron and ironing board (there is an ironing room in the hotel but quality of it was awful -over 10 minutes to get any type of heat and not great even after that long wait). Bathroom was ok but the water in the shower varied greatly in heat and pressure. There is also no fitness centre/gym which is a major drawback. The breakfast was huge disappointment. No hot food (except for barely boiled eggs), awful selection of other things and coffee almost undrinkable. Still looking at the options in Schaffhausen it is still not that bad.

On the our first visit there had to send the steak back three times because it wasnt cooked well…read moredone as ordered. Second visit the same problem. But this time they got it right on the second try. third visit. changed the order figured forget steak from them. Seen crispy pork belly and ribs. Sounds nice right? wrong. There was ribs with no bones??. Just a piece of beef. Pork belly looked like a piece of jelly. sent it back again. and came back missing the beef just the pork belly still looking like a piece of jelly:( no refund never asked if was ok. to bad it could be a good place if they weren't afriad to actually cook the food. sorry but there will not be a fourth visit
