Quiet, and efficient and tasteful
Copious breakfast. Tastefully decorated hotel. We especially liked the "cœur intérieure" dans where we had breakfast outside.
Parking outside and in garage in basement. Quiet. Friendly.
It claims to be a buisness hotel but worked well as a family hotel too.

Great place to stay - price / performance good
Great hotel in the center of Widnau (CH). Employees very friendly. Rooms are well equiped and clean (actually, hotel is brand new, we were the first guests in our rooms). Hotel restaurant very nice, in summer with possibility to sit outside. Breakfast of very good quality and right selection of warm and cold food. Free parking available drectly in front of the hotel or with fee in underground car park. Price and performance definitly in right balance. We will visit again when we are in the area.

Hienostunut hotelli
Hotelli on tyylikäs, rauhallinen, siisti ja erittäin hienostunut. Vastaanottaja osasi muutaman sanan jopa suomea. Saimme ison huoneen jossa kaikki mahdolliset mukavuudet. Ainut, mitä kaipasin, oli pienempi tyyny. Koska hotelli on NIIN hienostunut, niin ainut, mitä voisi ehdottaa kehittämiseksi, olisivat pehmeät isot pyyheliinat.

Hotel hält, was es auf seiner Homepage verspricht!
Buchungsanlass war ein Kurztrip zu den Bregenzer Festspielen. Modernes Hotel mit großzügigen und gut ausgestatteten Zimmern (Boxspringbetten, Klimaanlage, Safe, Minibar). Betrieben wird das Hotel von einem sehr freundlichen wie jungen Team. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig und hält für jeden Geschmack etwas bereit. Das Restaurant hat eine ausgefallene Speisekarte. Bei gutem Wetter kann im Innenhof gefrühstückt und zu Abend gegessen werden. Falls die kostenfreien Parkplätze vor dem Hotel belegt sind, steht eine Tiefgarage für CHF 9,00 zur Verfügung. Jederzeit gerne wieder!

Just an overnight
Nice hotel. Just stayed the night on my way to Germany. Nice and clean room. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Room was a bit warm and the AC refused to go lower. Could not have the window open due to noice from outside. But all in all a good choice.
