I stayed in this hotel for one night, and I have to agree with most of the reviews: the hotel is nice and clean, with quite large rooms. It is within walking distance from the train station which has a direct connection to the airport. I found the hotel to be, despites its name, a typical business hotel, which was... More

Had meeting in the banana city office so taking the hotel was the best. The rooms are large and clean but the bad is not so comfortable. The location near the train station which is great. The restaurant and service are great.

Hotel is connected to a sports gym. Rooms are large but rather bare, and I had one without aircon facing the railway track. Cannot hear the train... More

Much much too hot in the room, even with the fan on. No air conditioning available. But if window was open the temperature was better but the noise of the trains made sleeping impossible! Room was big, and clean so no complaints there. Bed was satisfactory, work area was practical and flat screen tv was a bonus. But there was... More

Despite the strange name (the hotel is shaped like a banana) it is pretty standard. I liked the fact that it is next to a great workout facility. Hotel guests get a good discount. The parking was a bit confusing (underground), and you can walk to downtown Winterthur. It lacks in decor and style, but a decent place for a... More

Good location near the train station. The choice of food at breakfast was good too. Overall, I found this relatively good price and value... More
