Stayed here for one night. Even so we were a bit early for checking in it was no problem. The person at reception was very welcoming and helpful. Our room was very nice and quiet. Breakfast this morning was very nice and plentiful. Our room was situated in the main building and the breakfast room is in the next building. The reception is only manned until 18 hours.It is only a short walk into town.Would we stay here again?: definitely!!!

The Auberge Journal in St Wendel has all new rooms. They are spacious; woodsy décor; quiet; large showers and baths; great morning reception with fresh foods.||The hotel is a short walk to town and convenient for restaurants and shopping.

Stayed for 1 night, place is ok, clean and what you see is what you get. Breakfast (in other building) is ok, nothing special. There is not bar in the hotel, but they have a fridge at the lobby with cold drinks (to be paid for).
