A friendly welcoming hostel up the hill from the village centre. A former hotel, the rooms are all…read morequite small and typically just have the two bunks. Internal signage is mostly only in German so be a good traveller and swot up on your language skills before you go. To keep costs down, the hostel accepts donations from the local fire service for using the building for training exercises. I didn't know this and arrived back from a walk in the village to find a fireman up a ladder removing one of the hostel wardens from an upstairs room.

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!

Super cute place with plenty of room and super friendly and helpful staff! Wonderful location,…read morereally convenient to the Altstadt, lake, mini golf, Festspiele, etc. Super yum breakfast included!

This place is terrible! They say it's a hotel but this is a youth hostel. That's not even the worst…read moreof it. The rate was $490 euro!! I booked it so it's my fault but by looking online this place seems nice. It's not! It's a camp for kids. There are over a hundred Camp kids here. The rooms are basically dorm rooms. I can't believe what we are being charged for this place. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
