We (my husband and I) stayed here for one night. The room was a nice size, however it was quite warm as there was/is no air con.. The room was noisy due to the train lines below room window. There were no facilities in the room for tea or coffee. We had requested late check out as we were involved... More

I stayed here for a night during a work conference. I didn't spend too much time at the hotel itself but the staff were all helpful and polite and the room was very clean and large. 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

I visited Hotel Banana city several times, this is an ordinary 4 star hotel with the ordinary 4 star services. I was satisfied with everything every time I stayed here, however I did not have the felling neither time that it is my favourite hotel. Good choice for business trips. The location is excellent, it is right next to the... More

The hotel seems quite good quality from outside and the public areas are nice. My first room had a dreadful smell of smoking, so I had to switch. The person at the reception said she was sorry, the hotel was fully non-smoking, but that they couldn't check every room after the customer left. This was strange, don't they have them... More

Big room. No utilities in the room (for ironing or heating water). Room not soundproof (could hear the neighbour talking on the phone). Affordable rate.

This is a 1990's-built hotel in a very convenient location for the train station and town centre. Rooms are clean and spacious - better to be on the front side away from the train line - and the food is pretty good (and very flexible too). What really makes this place great, however, is the staff. Nothing is too much... More

The staff at the hotel looks to make your stay great. It is not just the desk staff, but also the Kitchen staff, the cleaning staff, and the restaurant and bar staff, all looking to make your stay comfortable. The rooms are clean and quiet. The bar is cozy and usually there is a small crowd. The complimentary breakfast is... More

This hotel is a average hotel, neat and has kind personnel. The downside is that it is located close to the railway, which means that there is quite a lot of noise during night from the leaving and arriving trains. As the rooms do not have air condition, the only option was to have the window open at night in... More

This is a great property! I have travelled to 100+ destinations and also worked in the service industry for 20+ years, so my expectations were very high. This hotel gave my colleagues and I impeccable customer service, clean & spacious rooms, good meals and always took care of our most basic needs.

I have stayed here several times. It is the only hotel that we stay at when in Winterthur, because of the large room size (in the residenz part), and air conditioning! But be sure to stay in the residenz and not the standard rooms as I believe still that only the residenz rooms have air conditioning! The decor is a... More
