Summary of traveller reviews

Depot 195 - Hostel Winterthur offers a very clean and modern stay with friendly, accommodating staff. Its location is convenient, a short walk from the train station, making it a great base for exploring. Some guests noted noise from showers and a lack of privacy in bunks.

Very clean with an okay location near the train station. The staff was straightforward and accommodating. Showers were clean and had hot water. The lobby was closed from 10-3. The staff was willing to meet you during the in between but you can’t just go in to store your things.
