A la Vignette

This is a picturesque hotel in the wine country in Alsace, simple but clean with a very nice staff.

The hotel was impeccably clean and the quality of our accommodation (room, bathroom, separate WC) was very good and well fitted out. The restaurant offered a choice of set menus and a la carte and we noticed that there was a good childrens' menu. Our food was excellent and beautifully presented. Drinks were reasonably priced and there was an extensive wine list. The continental breakfast was fine. Staff were friendly, polite, helpful and very attentive. I plan to stay at this hotel again. It is difficult to find fault with this hotel, my one small complaint is that hot water took a while to emerge ftom the taps, i suspect our room on the second floor might be at the end of the pipe run! The village of St Hippolyte is delightful.

Along with our college-age son, we spent two wonderful nights here on a weekend site-seeing trip when he visited us after our recent relocation to Europe. The hotel is ideally situated in the middle of the quaint town of Saint Hippolyte making it an ideal location to start exploring the town on foot or by car to the other nearby beautiful towns; the wonderful Chateau du Haut Konigsbourg is very close by but is definitely a drive-to location as it is on top of the high ridge overlooking the town. We were able to park in the lot of the cathedral across the street but I'd imagine in the peak tourist season parking becomes a challenge. We had two large and comfortable adjoining rooms with their own full bathrooms; our bathroom was particularly large. The bed was very comfortable but we found the pillows to be a bit too small for our liking. We enjoyed a fantastic dinner, breakfast, and snack / nightcap; the food was excellent and service fantastic! Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and know that we will be returning either by ourselves or when other visitors want to explore the Alsace wine region.
