Jolanda (8/5): Der Aufenthalt war gut und ich würde sofort wieder kommen. - Die Lage ist optimal gelegen. Nähe von der Altstadt, vom Bahnhof und es ist sehr ruhig was ich sehr zu schätzen wusste. Zum Frühstück frisches Brot wäre super gewesen. Aber Tostbrot geht auch. Ich finde die Abwaschmaschine müsste man täglich starten.

Victoria (10/5): A wonderful stay in a perfectly located, beautifully kept B&B with thoughtful touches throughout. - A charming and picturesque B&B just a short walk from Winterthur’s town centre and the train station — the location couldn’t have been better. The room was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, and the communal kitchen had everything needed for a comfortable short stay. The organic breakfast items were excellent and thoughtfully restocked each day. Nicole, the property manager, was extremely approachable and made the whole experience seamless. Outstanding value for money. We hope to be able to return in the future! Nothing.

Tamsin (10/5): Great stay in a beautiful old property. - Beautiful old property with character in the heart of old Winterthur. Classic features, lovely views from the bedrooms and kitchen. Lack of lift, but I completely understand why there isn’t one. Good exercise taking the suitcase upstairs but not for some people.
Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location near the city center - beautiful garden; very relaxing experience. This is an older building with quite some original features. Do not expect the very latest level of technological comfort - but you will find everything you need for a very pleasant stay.
Ian (8/5): Very enjoyable and Nicole was so helpful and pleasant. - The ambiance, location, ease of access, I had stayed there previously and it had left a very good impression. Nothing.

Archie (8/5): Very good -
Annika (10/5): cosy atmosphere in a wonderful house - beautiful house with garden
Mrc527 (7/5): Good - The location is amazing: an old villa right in the middle of a giant private park. You have the option to use the tables in the garden for working, eating or whatever. Very nice! The keyless access is great! No Air Conditioning available, which could be an issue in summer time. You get a big fan helping your sleep but it's very noisy. For me it was not a problem but I can imagine it being problematic for someone. Moreover, the rooms are in the 3rd floor and there is not elevator. Keep it in mind.
Brianna (10/5): Exceptional - Owners are very friendly. We were greeted with a warm welcome. Prior to our stay they informed us of the many options to get from the train station to their establishment which was incredible helpful. The room was a great size. Bathroom and room were very clean. There is no elevator so it is a few floors up by stairs but that was a non-issue as we were travelling with backpacks. Breakfast included was fabulous; self serve from a communal kitchen for all guests. It was always fully stocked including a variety of meats, cheeses, coffee/tea, yogurt, jams/honey, eggs, bread and orange juice. You also can enjoy quiet relaxation time in their beautiful garden area.
Nicholas (9/5): Superb -
Duncan (10/5): Excellent, I would definitely revisit. - This oasis in the middle of Winterthur was completely delightful, beatiful property with historical significance and within walking distance from train and buses. Close to the historic Old Town of Winterthur. Our hosts were wonderful, lots of knowledge of the area and very willing to share their knowldge if requested. Breakfast was great, all organic, and lots of room to dine. Added bonus; we stayed here at the end of our trip and it was just a short train ride from Zurich Airport for our return flight. I have no recommendations for improvement. I was pleasantly surprised at the quaity of our stay.
Susan (9/5): Superb - Beautiful gardens and landscape. Quiet street. Convenient to where we wanted to go. There was nothing we didn’t like.
Jennifer (10/5): Amazing stay, we loved it! - Gorgeous and spacious rooms. Extremely clean. Bathroom is across the hall but just for us (no one else shared with us). The kitchen was perfect with many kinds of coffee to choose from. The refrigerator was stocked with all sorts of items to enjoy for breakfast. As Americans we’re not used to not having a fan or AC on hot days. (We had the warmest day in Switzerland on our visit.)
Evelyn (10/5): Exceptional - Great location with a beautiful garden. In walking distance to city center
Ralph (10/5): Exceptional -
Daniel (10/5): Very comfortable stay, exceptionally welcoming and knowledgeable hosts. - Excellent in all aspects - almost nothing to be improved!
Yukol (10/5): Exceptional -
Daniel (9/5): Superb -
Przemyslaw (7/5): Good -
Stefanie (9/5): To recommend! - Very clean, small boutique B&B very comfortable
Simon (10/5): Exceptional -
Robin (9/5): Cute character property with big rooms and lovely staff - - very friendly owner - nice property, big room - convenient full kitchen close to room - some breakfast items were high quality like the granola - 10 minute walk to central train station - bathroom not in the room, it's private but you have to leave your room to get to it - walls thin, if people in the room next to you talk or snore, you will hear it
Ansley (9/5): Historic villa which was comfortable and fun to stay in. The gardens are wonderful. - Kitchen stocked for residents to make their own breakfast. Location was perfect and near the train station. For longer stays I recommend more towels.
Lavinia (10/5): Great choice for a stay in Winterthur! - Incredibly nice, helping and accommodating host, loved how the room looked like and the breakfast options were more diverse than expected.
Simonetta (10/5): Beautiful place in a beautiful city ❤️ - The room was just beautiful and the garden was magical. The kitchen was perfect, I've really enjoyed the possibility to use it freely.

Rust (10/5): Exceptional -
Werner (10/5): Exceptional -
Julian (10/5): Gracious hostess in an oasis of calm - Villa Jakobsbrunnen is an oasis of calm, grace and human warmth - yet in the middle of the town and close to all public transport. As the name suggests, this was a former patrician house in the middle of a park full of trees and sculptures. In the summer, the park must be a wonderful place to stroll around and enjoy the surroundings - or to sit and enjoy a book. Right after passing through the gates, Nicole, a perfect hostess, greeted me in front of the villa. She took the time to guide me through the B&B set-up that made my stay comfortable. As I was travelling for work and had a conference call, Nicole accommodated my request to arrive an hour earlier than foreseen. She made sure that I was well-settled in and walk me through the simple steps to connect to the secure wifi. My spacious room - far bigger and taller than in modern buildings - was up two flights of stairs and down a wide corridor. An individual bathroom with a shower is just outside the room. The kitchen offers a well-filled fridge and cupboard for breakfast. There are even kitchen utensils for those who want to make a warm meal. The villa is located five minutes off the main road and the main pedestrian town centre with its shops and restaurants. For those using public transport, the villa is convenient to get to either on foot (a15-minute walk) or on a bus (a three-minute ride).
Linda (10/5): lovely! - The hostess was absolutely wonderful -- so helpful and friendly. I loved the shared kitchen, which was nicely stocked for breakfast or snacking. I didn't realize the bathroom was also shared, but as only women were on "my floor", it worked out just fine! This is a lovely property, very serene and nostalgic. The only thing that might be improved is directions or signs to the main entrance. Also, there are no elevators. Not a problem for me, but might be for others.
