I booked this hotel expecting basic amenities, especially a hot shower and a comfortable night’s sleep. Unfortunately, there was no hot water during my stay, making it impossible to shower. This completely defeated one of the main reasons I booked the hotel.

I informed the front desk, but the issue was not resolved in a timely manner, and there was no compensation offered. A functioning hot water system is a basic expectation for any hotel, and not having it significantly impacted my stay.

Staff were welcoming and worked efficiently; room was clean and much larger than MOST hotels I found in Zürich for much higher prices and which did not include breakfast like this hotel does! The breakfast was EXCELLENT, with a custom, self-serve, espresso coffee machine included. They also had a HUGE selection including made to order omelettes, many breads & cheeses, hot & cold food, fresh fruits.
Access to the spa next door which was unbelievable! Huge heated pool & jacuzzi, sauna, showers, and elaborate gym!
Price was very reasonable especially compared to all the others which had lower ratings.
The trains run to Winterthur often, from Zurich main and also the airport. Hotel is about 10min walk from train station.
Wow! I would definitely stay here again!

Banana city the hotel was spotless staff were faultless breakfast was good .I upgraded to a suite which was very nice and a big room with air conditioning .It States minibar and bottle water .The mini bar is just a small fridge not stocked up with anything just an empty fridge which is misleading that needs to be changed and when I asked for bottle water I was told you only get it on your first day which is also misleading.The tap water you can drink plus there loads of water fountain around every where you visit which are safe to drink.Train travel is great not cheep but you can buy 50% tickets or unlimited tickets you have to decide what best for you .Make sure you have a valid ticket there are ticket collectors everywhere and if you not got a ticket no excuses they charge you chf 90 plus price of ticket ouch .

Initially unhappy as we had booked a room with a double and two singles, but instead of the singles had a sofa bed and rollaway bed. However staff were helpful and replaced the rollaway with a proper bed from another room which was much more comfortable. Good location close to train station and short journey to Zurich from there. Breakfast was excellent, very good choice and all delicious.

The hotel location and condition of the room was good but the room had no air conditioning just a fan, I guess this will be ok in winter but in the summer at 90 degrees is brutal, make sure that when booking a room at this hotel it has a/c since is not specified in the description, also hotel is located behind the train yard so it gets real loud with the windows open...

GREAT HOTEL TO STAY

The best stay we had in last 20 days of the trip in Europe. We had stay in London and we paid over $800 a night and a hotel was great, but compared to what we paid for both the location Hotel banana city was the best for the money. It is worth every penny we spend on the room. Very clean Hotel and room, great service, breakfast was really good better than any other hotels. If only thing I have to recommend would be portable air condition. So that any guests who have any condition because of heat they can be accommodated. Other than that I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is going to be staying in Zurich Switzerland.

most terrible stay in Winterthur

The hotel is located just beside the train station ! our family room was on the railways, there was no air-conditioning and we could not open the window. At 5:30 in the morning the sun starts to heat up the room, it was a nightmare, we did not sleep the whole night. We asked for a room change, willing to pay, we were told there was no other room available, when the hotel was half empty...the next day a different person at the reception apologized and told us the building is old and they are in the process of renovating and putting airco in all the rooms, but it's not done yet. And we did ask for a quiet room when we did the booking !!

ball room music too laud until 3 am. Moved from 1F to 4F still laud and walls vibrating.

Cheaper side is by the railroad track, so if the windows are open, very laud from 5 am to 12 midnight. The other side is $40 more but when the basement ballroom is putting laud music, there is no difference between rairoad side or the other side. Some rooms have airconditioners but again the noise is the same. Mid-night after our complaints, the hotel moved us from 1st floor to 4th floor but the band noise from the ballroom was not much changed. We couldn't sleep at all.

Wie viele Kandidaten habe auch ich im Banana übernachtet während der eidgenössischen Prüfungen. Das Zimmer war ruhig und ich konnte mich gut erholen bis zum nächsten Prüfungstag. Die Klimaanlage war zuerst ziemlich laut, die Reception war aber sehr hilfsbereit und hat die Anlage abgestellt. Im April konnten wir noch gut über das Fenster die Temperatur im Zimmer regeln. Das Frühstücksbuffet war nicht üppig aber vollkommen ausreichend. Mein Freund hatte während meinen Prüfungen Zeit, das Bad zu geniessen. Die Garage ist geräumig und relativ günstig. Die zentrale Lage ist super.

Wir besuchten das Hotel zusammen mit unserer 8-jährigen Tochter.

Da in den Ausstattungen der Zugang zum Innenpool aufgeführt ist haben wir uns für das Banana City Hotel entschieden obwohl es preislich höher lag als das von uns favorisierte Hotel.

Beim Check-In wurden wir auf eine Sicherheitszahlung aufmerksam gemacht welche zwingend in Bar erfolgen muss. Leider wurde darauf nirgendwo hingewiesen. Daher hiess es für uns erst mal einen Geldautomaten suchen um den Betrag zu begleichen.

Beim Check-In wurde gefragt ob wir einen Voucher für die Benutzung des Spa's benötigen. Als wir sagten wir hätten gerne 3 (für meinen Mann, meine Tochter und mich) antwortete de Mitarbeiter mir das die Benutzung des Pools erst ab 16 Jahren erlaubt sei. Wir akzeptierten dies im ersten Moment so. Da ich wegen besagter Zahlung nochmals zur Rezeption musste, fragte ich nochmals nach. Ich machte die Mitarbeiterin darauf aufmerksam, dass ich es schwierig finde wenn bei der Ausstattung steht \"Innenpool für Kinder\" jedoch erst Kinder ab 16 Jahren zugelassen sind. Die Mitarbeiterin nahm dies zur Kenntnis jedoch geschah nichts weiter.

Als Ausstattung steht auch Adapter/Ladekabel da ich im Zimmer nichts fand fragte ich auch danach an der Rezeption. Leider waren auch diese nicht Verfügbar.

Und zu letzt steht das die Zimmer über 40\" TV's verfügen. Wir hatten in unserem einen 32\" stehen.

Ansonsten war der Aufenthalt nicht schlecht.
