Boutiquehotel das TSCHOFEN (vorübergehend geschlossen) — Hotel in Stadt Bludenz

(Stayed in November 2024) A slightly unusual, mixed experience. Upon arrival (around 2pm - stated on Booking.com), I found the hotel locked up, and rang the intercom. On the third ring, I spoke to somebody and picked up my key, and went to my room. The room was nice enough, but was a little unusual (e.g. lights not staying on and dimming out for no apparent reason, realising there were no curtains but eventually finding a button to lower some outer blinds...).

The hotel only has staff around at particular hours, but when a member of staff arrived at their allocated time, she was lovely, albeit unable to work out why my room wasn't behaving (a lot of the lights etc in the hotel are controlled by an app, it seems).

Overall, it's a nice hotel - great location and lovely building. It could do with a bit of adjustment if they're going to operate without reception staff through the day though (e.g. clear instructions in the room upon arrival of how the various switches in the rooms work, where to get wifi passwords, and so forth, go...

We were unexpectedly surprised by this lovely venue. We booked this hotel to only have a have a short drive to our ski destination and were only looking for a place to spend the night.

The rooms are all charmingly and with respect, tastefully restored and all have an individual character. So different from the standard "chain hotels". All rooms have their own Nespresso coffee maker. Breakfast is beautifully fresh, healthy, typical Austrian. The food in the restaurant is perfect. Cliental in the restaurant during the evening is a nice mix of locals and hotel guests. The Tschofen hotel is a gem. While you are there, you have to take time to visit/use the most amazing sauna with a view on the top floor; I have never seen something...

We were there for dinner twice and were very happy with the food, service, and ambiance. Food was at very high quality, out of 8 dishes only one was so-so, everything else was excellent. Service was super-friendly and professional. The atmosphere is excellent, both at the outside patio (which has a nice view of the city center street) and in the (modern-classic) interior. Not the cheapest option but great value for money in my view.

Some comments were critical on the few vegetarian/vegan options. I agree that the menu in general is small (hence also the veggie options) but this is usually the case in good restaurants in my view. If you look for a place that offers everything from pizza, local food, to burgers, this is not the...
