デポ 195 ホステル ヴィンタートゥール(Depot 195 - Hostel Winterthur)

Hostel with family rooms for 4 with private bath. great location where you can walk to the old town. Parking for 24 hours for 12CHF in the parking structure across the street.

It's easy walking distance from train station, university and city center. Reception was friendly and efficient. My single room on the top floor had no AC just a fan, which is OK except that I suggest they install screens because bugs come in through the window in the summer. But overall, I was very happy with the place!

Hat mir sehr gut gefallen

deduct money on free booking also

Everything was good..

This is a great place to stay in Winterthur ! The staff is fun and kind, we felt very welcome. We got the room via a package deal with the Technorama. The hostel offered a free day ticket for Winterthur as part of the package. Because we went to the Technorama before arriving at the hostel, we weren't able to use it. It would have been perfect to get an qr code or other electronic ticket before the stay. The room was amazing. It is beautiful and beautifully decorated. The beams and furniture are a wonderful decor. The hostel is a 20 minute walk away from the city centre, but we only went there for an evening meal at Tibits. If you are in Winterthur for the Technorama, you have to take a bus anyway. The only slight downside to the hostel is the communal kitchen. The seating area is very cramped and smells like the tables were wiped down with cloths that have been lying around a few days. I would still strongly recommend a stay and will come back with pleasure !

Depot 195 is an excellent choice if you’re going to Winterthur, or even Zurich, which is about 30 minutes away by train. Trains run very regularly and the hostel is an easy 10 minute walk from the station. Trains go in all directions, so it’s a great base for exploring the region. BTW Don’t miss Stein am Rein - it’s incredible! Depot 195 is immaculately clean, and the staff are very proactive in keeping it that way. They take great pride in their hostel and clearly love working there. Alex on the front desk was great at suggesting places to see and things to do in the region, and David, the manager, was really helpful and accommodating when I arrived very early. The kitchen is well appointed, spacious, very clean, well organised and has everything you need. It’s also a friendly place where people chat and get to know each other - that doesn’t happen in all hostels. I stayed in a female dorm room and it was bright, airy and really big for 6 people. The bed was very comfortable and it had a good light and power set into a wall shelf. The bathrooms were spotless and the showers were really great. Most hostels I’ve stayed in (many!) have good aspects and some not-so-good aspects, but I have absolutely only good things to say about Depot 195 - I can’t fault a single thing! Thanks for having me, I was sad to leave!

My friend, and I wanted to stay in Zürich for a couple of nights, and had booked this hostel, which turned out to be in Winterthur (our mistake for not checking!). However, this was the loveliest place we have stayed at so far. The Swiss staff were friendly, and we tried our best to practice our German! They maintained the kitchen spotlessly, and the rooms were immaculate, as were the shared bathrooms. It is located in a beautiful old building, and is a 10 minute walk from the station with easy access to Zürich Hbf. We had an amazing stay here, and could not recommend enough.

Very enjoyable stay. Clean and modern hostel, great electric card system for easy access and leaving, big kitchen with everything you need, a lovely balcony and good bathrooms and toilets. Bedrooms are good and comfortable, a curtain on the beds in the shared room would be a great addition. Most importantly very kind and understandable staff led by David. Great location next to the station and perfect wifi. Perfect for staying in Winterthur.
