Super Slick yet Simple // Relaxed Atmosphere // Young Guests…read moreMe and my friends have been spending a few days every season at the Riders Palace in Laax for the last 3 years. The young crowd and the simple and informal setup is very inviting if you're not looking for the formalities of a regular hotel. The design of the building and the rooms is very slick yet simple and comfortable, something typically Swiss in my opinion. They also have a bar in the ground floor and a club in the basement. On the weekends the bar tends to get crowded because usually there is live music in the club and people commute between the two. The 360 rooms are equivalent to the RP middle class and tend to be around CHF 75 / person and night which is probably the cheapest private room you'll find in Laax. Here you have 3 beds and a sofa or a fatboy, as well as a TV, a private shower, sink, and a toilet, all of which are separate. The rooms are very comfortable and safe due to multiple cardreaders you need to pass to access a room. They have 2 large rooms in the basement where guests can store and dry their boards and gear, as well as a storage room where you can keep your luggage if you wanna go boarding/skiing on your last day or before you can check in. This room has a shower and towels as well which is very very useful. My Dislikes: The parties get really noisy and the bass makes your bed vibrate if your room is close to the club. The toilets have no proper ventilation so that RP decided to cut off the top and bottom 10cm of the door which can lead to very uncomfortable situations if you know what I mean. IMO the prices are a bit too high considering you don't even get a proper breakfast.

Love the pretzels…read more Water is more expensive than their beers. Beautiful building. Service is cordial.

We were in the area and looking for somewhere that was open for lunch around noon and I'm so glad…read morewe found Schloss Brauhaus! We walked in and seated ourselves and were quickly welcomed by our server. The radler and lager were both really good. I got the Allgäuer Kässpätzle, which was incredible. It was super cheesy and flavorful. My bf got the Zwiebelrostbraten, which was also really good with the steak perfectly cooked. Then we got two desserts to spilt and I couldn't tell you which one was better. The Apfelstrudel was warm and not too sweet and the "Bier"amisu was unique and absolutely delicious. Schloss Brauhaus provided a warm and comfortable place to get out of the rainy cool day we had and some great beer and food!

My girlfriend was happy to jam out to Jack Johnson cd's while I found it to be a strange band for a pub -- but the staff was pleasant and lacking a decent amount if nightlife spots, Mike's is a good fall back point in Lindau for late night fun!
