Plaza Hotel in Winterthur

Truly Lovely Café
Freshly made and organic products, delicious coffee, and really nice service. A cozy spot with great attention to quality and detail. Loved it!

My third time coming to this business everytime I visit Winterthur! Every meals and drinks they made is incredibly healthy and nourishing! Highly recommended!

We stayed 3N at this cozy accomodation from June 20-23. Barbara checked us in and both she and her daughter were most welcoming and friendly throughout our stay esp when we had some questions.

Everything was prepared in the 2 rooms and the premises were very clean.

We had the double room on the 1F (one flight of stairs) and the attic at the top (2 flights of stairs). This may be an issue for some who have to bring large suitcases up and down as there is no lift. Thankfully we managed.

For those who are tall, it’s best to avoid the attic room as you are likely to knock your head on the sharp lower angled ceiling in some places.

There is a fridge, a very small safe, good supply of coffee and tea sachets. Cups, spoons, plates and cutlery on the desk. Adequate lamps to light up the room giving it a cozy ambience.

There is no aircon and they provided a fan. It was around 20-27 degrees during our stay and it can get a little warm if there is no wind. The windows can be opened and faces the garden so no issue with noise unless the guests in the garden room on the ground floor talk loudly when they are in the garden.

We like the security and arrangement of the keys when going out and returning - in case they are closed when we get back.

Tip: when using the ROOM key to open or lock the door from the outside, give the door handle a gentle pull towards you before turning the key. This helps with the alignment of the door.

We didnt have enough time to eat at the cafe but had their cold chai latte which was very refreshing and the cheesecake is worth having. Such a quaint little place.

It’s a 12min flat walk from the train station to EMMA but it’s an unsheltered walk.

During checkout, we chose to take the bus to the station on the checkout day as we had larger suitcases. The bus stop on Stadhaus is just a 5min walk and there are around 4 buses that go to the station - 2nd stop which takes around 4 mins. Make sure you cross the road when taking the bus at Stadhaus for the right direction to the station.

Thankfully the rain stopped before we checked out as we still had to walk to the bus stop.

EMMA is a cozy little place, the rooms and bathrooms are spacious enough - the whole vibe in the area of Oberer Graben is wonderful. The team running the accomodation and cafe is absolutely wonderful.

Thank you. We hope to stay here again when we visit Switzerland in Nov for the Christmas market.

Highly recommended for young families with kids. They provided us with toys and books, food is very nice, service is excellent. By large group I recommend to book in advance as the place is rather tiny. We will be back again the next time we go to Winthi! :)

I had lunch here on a whim and it was outstanding! Really cozy, very friendly staff and freshly prepared food. Everything great :)
