+ Location
The Best Western is located next to the…read morepicturesque old town area of Feldkirch. Although it looks quite unattractive from the outside the rooms' interior is inviting.
If you do business in Liechtenstein, Feldkirch is the perfect location for your accommodation if you have a car/rental car.
In contrary to Vaduz Liechtenstein, Feldkirch is scenic and offers plenty of restaurants, bars, and activities. From the hotel you can walk along Ill River or hike up to the town's 'Wildpark', a sanctuary for local species such as eagles, owls, different deer, wolves, and more. Moreover the historic 'Schattenburg' (castle) is just around the corner.
+Staff
The staff is super friendly and attentive and made you feel welcome 24/7.
+/- Rooms
The rooms are modern, bright and come with a spacious bathroom. However, you should know that the Best Western splits the rooms into smoking and non-smoking, which they do not advertise!!! We ended up in a smoking room. We realized the light but unpleasant smell but it took us one day to figure that there would have been non-smoking rooms as well. By then the smell was finally gone since we vented the room a lot. However, I would have appreciated a more open communication by the hotel about the room choice!
- Others
If you stay at the Best Western prepare for some extra costs, which in my opinion are too steep for the area. Parking is around EUR 11 per day (public parking garage next to the hotel) and breakfast is EUR 15! The latter is a joke compared to other accommodations in Feldkirch that include breakfast for a similar rate!
Another pain was the lift. Even if there was no traffic it took forever until you were able to catch one lift. Moreover, only one of them accesses the parking garage...
Overall, the Best Western can be recommended since other hotels in old town are located next to the noisy main arteries Schlossgraben or Bahnhofsstrasse. Moreover their interior is quite old-fashioned.
