Great hotel. Self-checking is awesome. New and clean. Very comfortable beds. The room is organized well and in a smart way. Didn't hear any neighbors nighter in the corridor nor over the walls. We stayed here two times.

HOTEL BLAUE ROSE -digital check in-

The Blaue Rose is a high-quality, moderately priced hotel in the heart of the Alps. It is also brand new and run by a gentleman I have never met who showed me more care as a guest than I have received at 99 percent of the hotels I have booked in Europe over the past 45 years. The room perfectly fit my needs. The bed was comfortable, the bedding crisp, the shower, brand new, the silence outside was welcome (zero traffic noise), Feldkirch train station is within walking walking distance, and the path led through an idyllic Austrian mountain town, The design of the room was superior to the trendy and expensive boutique hotels I've stayed in in Manhattan, Berlin, and other cities. One judges the caring attitude of a hotel and its ownership and staff when things go wrong. I was very tired when I arrived and initially had a difficult time with the outsourced self-check in system and reported the issue. The hotel owner was so concerned with my problem that he thanked me for my comments, apologized profusely, and immediately upgraded the entire system to prevent future guests, including myself, from having to deal with similar issues. I visited Blaue Rose as an overnight before attending a meeting in Davos. I was happy to have had a place of serenity and a good night's sleep before dealing with the World Forum crowd. I will make a habit of visiting the Blaue Rose as a stop over between Vienna and Zug, Zurich, and other towns and cities of Switzerland.

The location of the hotel is great, literally at the train station, but also only a few steps from the old town/city centre. Style wise the hotel is contemporary and very comfortable. Our room was a decent size, and we got a few nights of very good sleep in the comfortable bed. The staff was very friendly and polite. Breakfast was good with a range of options, there should be something for everyone. We were pleased with the secure underground parking the hotel offers, which has easy access directly to the hotel by elevator. The hotel is also dog friendly and we had no issues staying with our two well-mannered dogs.

Excellent Hotel. Everything was perfect but especially staff was very friendly and helpful. It was quite obvious that they love their job and ready to help whatever is the requirement.

The views from the hotel, the balcony/terrace, and the restaurant are incredible! They have their own kitchens inside even and a fridge so if there isn’t anything open to eat at nearby or their restaurant is closed you can cook your own food too. They were dog friendly and hiking trails start right at the hotel. The staff were all very friendly and the breakfast was better than the usual!

The view is magnificant. I had booked a room with view of the valley, and it was so beautiful! Even if it was a bit of a drive into Bregenz, which is what I was in the area for - I opted for this and is really glad I did. The hotel is not fancy, but the owner so nice, and the room very best and clean. Good food also, for which they were very attentive beforehand to write to me about.
