Hotel Mäuerle

Excellent new take on the hostel concept. En suite room with 4 single beds and with minimal reception or lobby, urban location was perfect for exploring the island, parking opposite, perfect for families or youth on the move between places.

We stayed on the second floor in a room with a double + single bed. Comfy beds. Windows overlooked a park where there was a lively food market (over by 7pm). You can walk to everything in the island easily from here. Very quiet at night. Bathroom was across a little hallway, not directly in our room, but that was fine for us. It’s had a stylish renovation and was lovely and clean. Breakfast had a vast array of breads, cheese and meats, 2 types of eggs, yoghurts, cereals. Teas and coffee. We communicated in English fine.

This hotel is a little off the cycle way, but situated at the edge of Lindau old town, which is the most charming part. Checking in went fine, though the owner had played that dangerous game of emailing important codes and instructions on the day of arrival to people whose mobile reception was poor and who weren't making it a priority to check the phone as they cycled. However, happily, he turned up when we did at and all was well. There were cycle racks outside the hotel. The room and ensuite were very spacious , the room was clean and AC was provided. Breakfast was included and more than acceptable, though the coffee won’t be winning awards. This a well located hotel, a comfortable room, but a touch of chaos in the public areas, and how staff spoke to each other. A previous reviewer said it looked nothing like the photos and I agree, especially around the untidy reception area and there was a touch of “ Fawlty Towers” to the experience .However , as breakfast was included , it was value for money .

The location is good, however the receptionists were rude and talking so loud that it was very annoying. The old German receptionist woke me up at 9 o'clock to checkout even when the official website says 10:30. He almost got inside the room to make me leave. He said that other people would check-in soon. Besides that, the breakfast looks nothing like the advertisement, therefore I only ate once in the 6 nights I was there. The room wasn't very clean, there was hair everywhere.
