Centra Hotel Winterthur

Lovely place and lovely people

The staff were amazing at this place but the management (owners) are horrible. It’s a convenient hotel and the staff make every minute worth staying but the management are not nice at all.

Felt safe, friendly staff at breakfast, conveniently located and fairly quiet... other than the church bells but that's not the hotels fault!

I stayed at Hotel Perron 10 both coming into Switzerland via Zürich for one night, and ahead of leaving for another two, as I was visiting the cycling world championships. For a short stay, this was a good place - the most comfortable hotel bed I've stayed in to date, 5 minutes from the station, food options nearby. complimentary bottled water, and someone to come in and make the bed and empty the bins every day. What I don't understand is the size of the bathroom compared tp the large size of the room - the toilwt faces the wall in such a way that I, a relatively short person, needed to access it diagonally. There is no fan, so the ceiling is moldy, the shower doesn't have a basin and thus floods the entire room. All good for a short stay. During my second stay, the blinds to one wundow were completely shut with no way to open them, and the windows let every bit of sound through. Even with earplugs it wss like sleeping next to a motorway that doesn't calm down most nights until 3am. My biggest problem came when I returned to the hotel Sunday night. This is a self-checkin facility, you get a door code mailed to you. This worked great right until it didn't. The emergency number at the door rings the phone at the restaurant, by then long closed. I had to listen to a recording of the manager give you another emergency phone number, and no one picked up. If you offer/lack a service, you should make sure it works if you don't wanna strand your guests?

There’s no onsite parking, wish I knew before booking. It is close to the train station but we drove so it was useless for us. The bathroom was the worse part and the hotel had a food “cooking” smell every time (restaurants below).

The property was close to the train station. The shower was difficult because the water ran all over the bathroom floor trying to get into the drain- no separate shower area/pan.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our rooms were great - spacious with everything we needed for our week long stay. Breakfast was varied and very tasty. We didn’t use the restaurant during the day/ evening as Winterthur has excellent dining options. Nothing to do with the hotel, but major roadworks were taking place in Wartstrasse which sometimes made it difficult to enter/ exit the road. However, we explored alternatives and found our way around.

Good experience! Just shower was different, bathroom was wet everywhere. Also, will be great having more pillows

It's a good hotel to see Winterthur on a budget. Free breakfast and friendly staff

Hotel is located in middle of town with many restaurants and supermarkets. It 4 minutes walk to train or 6 minutes with luggage. Breakfast is ok, coffee is wonderful. Restaurant is nice and good. Room is basic with a window above the bed.they kept the hotel very nice and clean but the are little roaches walking around. They have elevator and there are fans in hallway if need it.

The bathroom is big enough but the whole bathroom is wet after taking a shower. There is no provision for wiping feet. No small fridge. Breakfast is very limited. Same food every day.

Close to train station and friendly staff.

We loved this hotel. The staff were particularly lovely and so helpful. As we arrived early than check (as the room was ready) in they allowed us to use the room straightaway, which was very helpful as well as check out a bit later )again as our room was available) as our flight was a bit later than check out time. The breakfast was very delicious very simple but very nicely laid out with lots of choice. We’re already making plans to come back very soon

Excellent hotel for overnight stay when travelling by train. Station only a few minutes walk. Staff was very friendly, room was clean and spacious. Only negative was the bathroom is terrible! The toilet didn’t flush properly and the shower had no edge around it, was on the same level as floor. As a result, the bathroom floor would flood since the water had nowhere to go. We had to use our towels to mop up the floor and there were only 2 towels. Very poor situation for the Swiss, who usually have better washroom facilities.

Felt more like a hostel rather than a hotel. Self-check in was fine but not the quickest. The bedrooms were basic, but OK. We were disappointed by the bathroom as it was a pre-facelift one and really not very pleasant. Cracked tiles, dated and tiny, not what was shown in the photos for that particular room! No air con or fans in the room, left for a very sweaty night. The breakfast was very average, felt very student like. For what we paid, it was not good value for money. I was glad to leave to be honest. The only positive was the 24 hour check-in and the close proximity to the train station. Photos attached to show what bathroom we actually got, which was very different to the one on the room page. No one at reception at that time of night, so was unable to resolve.

Very close to the metro and very easy to get to the hotel few minutes walk and one station away from the airport Very friendly staff, I recommend you to enjoy their breakfast and their services

Horrendous, floors creak insanely loud, impossible to sleep. Zero Air-conditioning, it was so humid and hot I literally did not sleep at all. Invest in fixing your floors!!!! The toilet and shower are the same room and I didn't even fit in the shower at all. Ridiculous to call this a hotel and 100CHF for a night? Absolute Joke

Very good prechecking service with access code. Good location close to the train station. Good breakfast with kind personal. My room had no air con and it can get hot in summer.
