Hotel De La Couronne  

The hotel De La Couronne is well located in the heart of Riquewhir. It has plenty of parking, but once you arrive you will not need your car. The only time you need the car is when you want to explore the other wonderful wineries along the Vin De Alsace. The hotel is located in an old and rustic building, but it is much nicer and better maintained than many other old and rustic buildings that I have been in. They have a nice little bar downstairs in which to enjoy a beer, wine, or a sticky. The breakfast is typical for a french country town, fresh pastries, assorted cold cuts, yogurt, juices, cheeses - Do not expect eggs or other typical American or Asian selections. As other people have commented the main staircase is a vintage spiral cement staircase. It scores big points from an eye candy standpoint, but it will be daunting for anyone that is NOT in good health.

We rented a 3 person larger room. It was simply appointed with lots of space by European standards. To remind us of the old and rustic nature of the hotel the floor to our room was on a noticable slant sloping towards the doorway. Though it was noticable it was viewed as a source of humor rather than something we complained about. On the down side the bath room had been updated, but they didn't use the best materials and we saw a lot of black mold in those hard to clean spots. I don't care how nice/rustic a hotel is, no one wants to sit in the tub and see black mold staring them in the face! They need to either really clean the grout or tear it out and re-do it correctly the next time.

Location was superb.

One of the staff members wasn't too friendly. M Not too sure if I'll recommend the hotel to friends.

This hotel had a very nice breakfast and was very convenient. It is located within the walls of a very old town and was perfect for location and was very adequate.

Although the room was clean and we had no real complaints, attention to detail was lacking.

Location is great, center of the village. One of the advantages is the wide parking space just next to the hotel. Staff is friendly and guests may feel at home.

The location was excellent and Riquewihr was charming. It was also fantastic to have such a roomy parking lot (3 euro per day).

The room and the hall outside smelled of onions and spices. We opened the window to air out the room and it helped somewhat. The heater was not working even though it was 10c outside at night. The mattress was very soft and uncomfortable to sleep on.

The location was great, right in the heart of Riquwihr. The room was very quaint, cosy and clean although the stairs up to the room were very steep and windy so as we were only staying one night, we opted to leave the suitcases in the car. Very quiet, no noise from the other rooms even though the hotel was full. Parking was easy on the premises for a small fee. It was easy to go for some really nice walks through the grapevines just outside of the village.

The village, the genuine olde world hotel.

Location in the centre of a gem of an Alsace town, convenient parking facilities, a distinctive character with antique furnishings, a very spacious and comfortable room, an excellent breakfast and a warm welcome.

That they sent me my forgotten jacket by mail

Good location in the heart of a very pretty medieval village; Rustic hotel; Parking by the hotel

Bad isolation between the rooms (we could hear someone snoring); No elevator and narrow circle steps; Mold in the shower; Very Old bed cover; Poor breakfast

I stayed at Hotel de la Couronne last year. We had an excellant stay and decided to return and spend a little more time looking around Riquiwhr. We normally stay in Logis whilst touring France but a friend organised this hotel last year. They have stayed there over 10 years ago and enjoyed the experience. So thanks to my friend Paul we found Hotel de la Couronne. I would not normally have found such a hotel as I mentioned we normally stay in Logis but I am so glad that we did. The receiption staff are excellant very welcoming and helpfull. It really is the perfect hotel. We usually travel in sports cars and we appreciate secure parking which the hotel is able to offer.

Staff helpful; location great - right in the certre of the town and with its own car park. Rooms had character and breakfast offered a reasonable choice. Excellent value for what it offered.

The hotel is in the center of the old medieval walled city of Riquewihr and has a lot of charm. It is definitely not like a chain restaurant. I enjoyed the experience.

There is a long staircase to get to the top floors.
