Hotel Katharinenhof COMFORT

Hotel Katharinenhof COMFORT

10/10 Excellent
"Brand new property. Very nice, clean, rooms. Decent amount of space. Excellent locations only a couple of minutes from the bus/train station with frequent trains to Bregenz and Lindau. Also only minutes away from the main square. The only thing I could even remotely “complain” about is that the sink in my bathroom splashed water all over the place. Just a poorly designed feature. But that’s a non issue really…"

"Super clean, super friendly staff, very comfortable. Very few amenities but it's a low cost hotel. Also it's on a business park so you have to drive for dinner. Not sure I'd recommend 18CHF breakfast - it was a very good breakfast, but 18CHF? Other than that you get good value for what you pay for this hotel. I'd definitely stay again."
