Where to stay in Oberwinterthur (Kreis 2) / Guggenbühl
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Guggenbühl is a small quarter, and lodging here means lodging in Winterthur rather than in the quarter itself. Kreis 2 is thin on beds. The Hegistrasse side, where the Ehemalige Feilenfabrik still stands, and the Hohlandstrasse edge both sit well back from the Winterthur centre, which suits a longer stay better than a single night.
If you want space rather than sights, this side of Oberwinterthur delivers.
