This review is for the hotel attached to the restaurant. We pulled into cute Riquewhir after 6 on a Friday night, and discovered all the hotels were full. We knew that because the woman at St. Nicolai Hotel, who spoke English, was nice enough to go online and check several other hotels in town for us since her hotel was also full. She also made several phone calls, and located a hotel in Ribeauville fifteen minutes away that had a couple of rooms still available. We were looping back through Riquewhir at the end of our three week trip, so this time we booked ahead at St. Nicolai Hotel, and got our German friends to meet us there. They were pleased to discover German was also spoken. Our friends booked ahead for parking, but we managed to find a pay parking spot outside the city walls for the same price. We met up in the cute lobby which has decent wifi and a nice sitting area, since the wifi doesn't work in the rooms.
Yes, the wooden floors are creaky since this is a very old, quaint property, but all the plumbing fixtures and flooring have been updated. Our room was very clean, and the best part is you are on a quiet side street of this wonderful historic village. By booking a night, you can wander the streets and taste wine after the tour buses have left for the day. Hotel prices are reasonable. We didn't opt for breakfast, but the restaurant looked nice, and we only found one bakery open. Prices were lower at the bakery, but it would have been more convenient to breakfast at the hotel. read more
