RiKu HOTEL Weißenhorn — Hotel in Weißenhorn

We (family of four - two teenagers) have family in Weissenhorn so we end up there a couple of times a year at least. The little town is growing and some very nice restaurant options have opened up (will save those for other reviews). Along with the restaurants have come some new hotels and the RiKu is the best of them.||The RiKu is a budget hotel. The rooms and service are no frills. That said it is one of the best budget hotels I have stayed at. The rooms are spacious, well lit, well appointed and most importantly clean and quiet.

It is a modern budget hotels. If you want something more "german” or quaint there are probably better options in Weissenhorn.||Not much more to say. If you find yourself in Weissenhorn this is a great...

A fan provided was tried but intolerable with the draft and noise. So the second night was spent knowing the time exactly from nearby church bells through the open french balcony door.|Nice breakfast restaurant and very kind receptionist with a creative manager on the phone tried to make up for the RiKu hotels belated negotiations with the AC provider to change...

We had a lovely stay!

We had everything in the room that we needed. And we needed a lot, since we have two small children sleepng in our room of 6 and 24 months.

What was very usefull to us, is that there was a restaurant downstairs. We had a lovely evening thanks to the good weather, a big and nice terrace that is situated on the cosy town square.

Lost but not least, the SERVICE IS EXCELLENT. Just one simple exemple: I forgot my shirt in the room. They kept it aside and they send it to my home in Belgium, accompanied with a funny note. These people now something about...
