We stayed at the Grand Hotel Bregenz during the opera season and booked a junior suite for around EUR 500 per night – so expectations were high. The location was a highlight – right between the train station and the Bregenz Opera, perfect for attending performances. However, you can’t really see the lake from the room as a park blocks the view. Check-in was mixed – there’s a dedicated desk for ALL loyalty members, but it wasn’t enforced, so we waited in line with everyone else despite having status. The suite itself was large, modern, and spotless, but faced the parking lot with no balcony – not ideal for the price. The biggest surprise was the SPA – not heavily advertised but truly relaxing. We enjoyed the indoor pool and saunas, which were quiet and well-kept. Breakfast was frustrating. A confusing booking system meant several tables were “reserved” but unoccupied while other guests, including us, had to wait. No structured queue made it feel chaotic. Once seated, the buffet was good – fresh fruit and decent variety – but we later discovered there’s a hidden à la carte menu (omelettes, etc.) that’s not offered to all guests. That felt unfair. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with some downsides. The price-to-quality ratio was below expectations – I expected more consistency and attention to detail for this level of pricing.

There was a cockroach in the wall at the bed on the last day. Not what you expect from this kind of hotel.

Comfortable room

Perfect location right next to the train station, the casino and the waterfront. The rooms were as pictured and the hotel staff was courteous and helpful. We were a week before high season so they didn't yet have full restaurant service, but the bar was fine for coffee, drinks and snacks. We'd definitely stay here again.

Zimmer sind gut aber sehr hellhörig und schlechte Lichtquellen im Bad und Zimmer. Keine Abfalleimer im Zimmer. Keine Benefits für Expedia Goldmember. Parkplatz gebührenpflichtig. Eher 3*** bestimmt nicht 4**** Hotel. Staff spricht zum teil kein deutsch. Ausgezeichnetes Frühstück und wellness.

Stylish and convenient hotel for the city and lake.

The hotel itself was very nice, except the restaurant was closed when we were there. Which was a pain. The parking was oddly far away from the front door. Little confusing when we arrived. The area around the property is very run down, and not well kept. Lots of leaves and trash on sidewalks. Had a creepy vibe, especially at night. Not far from the lake. But, lake was packed with tourists. No great place to get coffee or good food right near the hotel

Clean, spacious room, very near train station

Quiet, clean, comfortable and central!

Very nice hotel very modern with great facilities. Only downside the parking is not on site

Clean and Comfortable room. High cost for breakfast.

Lovely hotel, room, setting. Clean and spacious room. Although bad part was booking a table for a meal. After speaking to what looked like the bar manager he says 7pm so we had a drink at the bar to wait. He suggested nibbles which we had and got charged over the top for them 7pm came and went and we enquired if our table was ready at 7.20pm. he shrugged us off and ignored us after this so we ended up leaving at 7.45 to find a restaurant elsewhere. Rude man.

Great location, three minutes to lake front. Casino next door. 5 star service and amenities. Indoor pool! Gym! Sauna! Amazing breakfast. Great restaurant. Staff was amazing.

Excellent location very close to the lake and its boardwalk. Parking on site is very convenient.

The staff was welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Loved the rain shower head. It’s very conveniently located right beside the lake and train station. Only a few minutes walk to the town center as well.

Hotel convenient to train station and lake. Check in was not smooth as the first room assigned to us reeked of smoke. Fortunately this was quickly remedied and we were moved to another room. Also at the welcome reception there was a bit of a language barrier or misunderstanding as the option to not clean the room wasn’t explained correctly…she told us it wouldn’t be cleaned for 1 day which would have been fine, but it wasn’t cleaned for our entire stay. We did ask to have it cleaned, but it never was. Tip: go up to the pool area and get clean towels from there. The shower stall seal was ineffective and flooded the floor. Hotel rents decent bicycles at a much lower price than the bike rental shops in town. Overall, our stay wasn’t “grand”… was expecting a more luxurious experience for that price.

This property could be a great place. However there was minimal service( we waited at the bar for over 10 min and then left), the toilet didn’t flush well, and there was a hideous black stain on the carpet. What staff were there were nice, and the location, about 2 blocks from the lake, was ideal.

I hated this hotel to be honest. Unless you want to spend a lot of time at the casino I see no reason to stay here. First they made us park about a 1/4 mile from the hotel in a gravel lot when there is a ton of parking right in front of the hotel but we were told that was only for casino guests. They have no where to unload your baggage either so you are expected to walk with all your luggage from the P2 lot. Ridiculous. The bed was as hard as any I’ve ever seen, I could barely stand it, I slept horribly, and my back was killing me the next day. The balcony looks over trash and has no view except of cranes doing construction, which was loud and distracting. The breakfast is expensive so we did not go. There is a very large step into the shower, it sits up at least 9-10 inches, which is very unsafe, especially getting out when wet as there is nothing to hold onto. No English channels or access to Netflix or something on tv (except news). I stayed at 5 hotels on my European vacation and this was by far the worst.

Very convenient location, making it easy to explore Bregenz by foot. Right next to the train station, but still quiet and felt safe. Steps away from the pathways along the waterfront. Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff were very friendly. Next time I’m in Bregenz, I’ll book here again!

Amazing place to stay
