La mia deliziosa camera si affacciava sul campanile..il rintocco delle campane mi ha tenuto compagnia ogni 15 minuti.
Ma a parte questo,era tutto perfetto!

Vacanza tra amici
Pros:

Sistemazione in una casa d'epoca nel contesto caratteristico del paese,tra i più affascinanti del circondario.
Possibilità di parcheggio riservato,comunque all'aperto.
Presenza di ascensore per evitare scale ripide e strette coi bagagli.
Sotto casa c'è un bistrot per un ultimo bicchiere serale tra amici,posticino intimo.

Cons:

Una delle stanze assegnateci presentava un soppalco con letto veramente claustrofobico;colazione offerta a 15 euro a persona,in paese si trovano alternative.

Un séjour inoubliable au cœur de Riquewihr
Pros:

Un séjour inoubliable au cœur de Riquewihr
Nous avons passé une semaine fin septembre à l’Hôtel L’Oriel et nous sommes absolument ravis de notre choix. Dès notre arrivée, les propriétaires – un couple charmant et leur petite fille – nous ont réservé un accueil des plus chaleureux. Leurs précieux conseils sur les visites de la région et leurs recommandations de restaurants, parfaitement adaptés à nos goûts, ont véritablement enrichi notre séjour.
L'hôtel bénéficie en outre d'un emplacement idéal, niché dans une jolie ruelle pavée à quelques pas seulement du centre historique de Riquewihr. Une adresse pleine de charme et d'authenticité que nous recommandons les yeux fermés !

An unforgettable stay in the heart of Riquewihr
We stayed at Hotel L’Oriel for a week at the end of September and could not have been happier with our choice. From the moment we arrived, the owners—a charming couple with a young daughter—made us feel wonderfully welcome. They offered fantastic advice on local sightseeing and tailored their restaurant recommendations to suit our personal tastes.
Ideally located just a short stroll down a picturesque cobblestoned street from the centre of Riquewihr, this c

Indico muito!
Pros:

A localização e o atendimento foram excelentes! Tem elevador, o que pra nós, da 3ª idade, é fundamental. O estacionamento é próximo e fácil de usar (pago à parte). Ganhamos até um upgrade de quarto!

Cons:

Sentimos falta de suporte para as malas e só forneciam uma garrafinha de àgua, insuficiente para 2 pessoas.

Pros:

Die Freundlichkeit beim Empfang. Die Lage. Der Preis. Der Parkplatz in der Nähe. Das Zimmer war zuckersüß eingerichtet. Tolles Bad. Handtücher waren sauber und von guter Qualität. Das Frühstück für nur 15 Euro war klein aber fein. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und wir sind satt geworden. Die Atmosphäre im Frühstücksraum war schön und die Dame die dort gearbeitet hat auch super freundlich 💕.
Rundum ein gelungener Aufenthalt und wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Merci 🫂

Cons:

Staub. Überall Staub. Das ist das einzige Manko gewesen.
Ich habe eine Hausstauballergie und habe ziemlich gelitten. Das war ich entstauben konnte (Kopfteil vom Bett zum Beispiel), habe ich vom Staub befreit. Hätte meine Reisebegleitung keine Allergietablette dabei gehabt, hätte ich nicht schlafen können.
