This is a nice clean hotel. The owner and his wife are amazing. They are hardworking. Rooms are basic ( 2 star ) but very clean and have AC. Breakfast is included and has multiple choices for everyone. We enjoyed our time there and the town and neighborhood are safe and very clean.
We would stay there again !

Place was pristine and hosts very welcoming. It is conveniently located : close enough to the lake, the station(if you don't have a car) and the down town area. It has everything you can expect from a two star hotel. We needed a stop before flying back to the States from Zurich and chose to stay one more night. I would absolutely recommend it.

Clean, remodeled, airconditioned room
The couple who manages the hotel was very friendly and accomodating. Our room was super clean and had been recently remodeled. Although the hotel is located next to a busy street, we could not hear the traffic with the windows closed. Having AC in the room on a 30°C day was an extra bonus. The AC unit seemed brandnew and was extremely quite. We also enjoyed the complimentary breakfast buffet.

A fantastic stay
We had a wonderful time at Hotel Hecht. Everything was perfect and the staff were exceptionally kind! When our car broke down they drove us to St Gallen open air so we’d make it on time to our concert.
Highly recommend staying in this hotel :-)

Das Zimmer war ein bisschen klein und morgens mit ziemlich viel Verkehr da ich mit offenem Fester schlafe, doch für 1 Nacht war es ok.
Das Frühstücksbuffet war sehr reich im Angebot, es fehlte an nichts! Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Was die Geschäfte anbelangt, habe ich keine Ahnung da ich morgens sofort wieder abgefahren bin.

Un établissement simple et très accueillant. De nombreux détails montrent que le personnel est très investi. Le gérant est très agréable. La localisation est parfaite pour visiter la partie orientale du Bodensee. Il est possible de se rendre facilement à Lindau en train, éventuellement en se stationnnant près de la gare de Begenz, à quelques km.

Ruhepol am Bodensee
Familiengeführtes Hotel, wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und konnten schon vorzeitig einchecken. Das Haus macht insgesamt einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck, die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, die Betten bequem. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig und wird in einer angenehmen Atmosphäre eingenommen. Die Hotelier-Familie ist außerordentlich sympatisch, der Aufenthalt im Hotel war sehr angenehm und entspannend. Wir wählen gerne wieder dieses Hotel, sobald wir an den Bodensee kommen

Schönes Hotel mit sehr guter Küche und ausgesprochen nettem Personal. Abgeschlossene Fahrradgarage mit Lademöglichkeit für eBikes. Wir hatten sehr weiche Matratzen, haben aber trotzdem sehr gut geschlafen.
