Boutique Hotel Krone

The rooms are amazing and have GREAT air conditioning. This was the only hotel we stayed in Switzerland where the air conditioning actually worked well. The waterfall shower is amazing and so relaxing. The pillow selection and the bed are extremely comfortable and the blackout curtains really black out light.

Comfortable overnight stay after long haul flight from Australia to Zurich. Easy level walk (apart from cobblestones!) along Untertor from main Winterthur railway station. Friendly and helpful staff, spacious room and bathroom, comfortable bed, very quiet at night even with the windows open (Winterthur seems to turn off its chiming clock until 6 am), good shower, heated towelrail. Kettle and coffee making facilities in room. Excellent breakfast with coffee made to order, and catering well for dietary requirements, including gluten free and vegan. Appreciated the Easter Day chocolate on the pillow, and also the apples at reception and the offer of a bottle of water when leaving. Large Coop supermarket at the railway station with plenty of takeaway food options.

What did I like about the Sorell Hotel Krone? In one word: EVERYTHING! This hotel is in the heart of the Aldstadt of Winterthur, an easy 5 minute walk from the train station. We were there as a stopover night on our Swiss Christmas Market tour and were we ever glad we chose this beautiful hotel to lay our heads. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My room overlooked a quiet courtyard. It was spacious and well appointed including complimentary bottled water. The bathroom was large, towels also large and fluffy and the shower was wonderful! (We were all trying to figure out how we could take it home with us.) And then there was the bed--with wonderful smooth linens and oh, so comfortable pillows and duvet. Breakfast was a veritable feast with meats, cheeses, cucumbers, jogurts, cereals, breads, jams, even scrambled eggs with bacon & sausage. Checkout was smooth and easy, again with very friendly staff. The Winterthur Christmas market was an additional pleasant surprise--it was quite a nice one that we enjoyed visiting.

A nice spacious room with a sofa, everything in the room was of a really good quality. There was a decent selection at breakfast & once again of a really good quality. A nice little touch was a chocolate on the pillow each day. It has one of the best showers we have ever had in a hotel anywhere. A great location being in the old town but still close to the train station. Winterthur is a really nice city with a lovely old town & some good bakeries, also short walk to a couple of decent size supermarkets. Winterthur is also an excellent place to stay that is very handy to the international airport & to Zurich, we also found it handy for a day trip to the lovely city of Konstanz just over the border in Germany.

+ Petra was AMAZING. We got talking to her when checking out and she was incredibly warm, friendly and made us feel completely at home. Her openness and welcoming nature actually made our trip special, so please pass on our thanks! + Bed was incredibly comfy + Rituals amenities in the bathroom + Breakfast had a pretty good variety. Homemade Birchermüesli always a plus!
