We stayed in this lovely hotel on the island of Lindau for one night as two couples.The two rooms on the fourth floor of the hotel were small, but comfortable and had everything needed for a short stay. Recently renovated and clean. The breakfast was excellent and served in a quiet and well-kept environment.We also had dinner in the restaurant/stube with a traditional Bavarian menu. All good! Fun evening in a family atmosphere.The only flaw: the lift only worked for the first ascent with the luggage, but for us "able-bodied" people it wasn't a problem.Location in the center and close to the port/lighthouse. Convenient public parking nearby.Excellent experience and value for money. Advised!

Simply perfect. A cute little hotel, but where nothing is left to be desired. Everything was very lovingly furnished. The hotel is located in a side street of the pedestrian zone, quiet but central. Very chilled roof terrace, which should definitely be visited when the weather is nice. We enjoyed a great breakfast and the food in the restaurant was also excellent in the evening (you can tell because the restaurant is busy every day). Great crew, especially a big shout out to Adrian, one of the best waiters ever. We will come again!!

We were in Lindau for the first time today and decided to have dinner at the inn in the Hotel Engel. We had a very good meal in the cozy and busy Bockstube, where you can enjoy culinary delights at the cozy wooden table in a small space. And the food on the plates lives up to what the menu promises. Lots of taste, reasonable portions and regional specialties. Plus friendly service and short waiting times. That's actually how it should be. However, the offer is not cheap. Still 5 stars because four stars wouldn't be fair to the range of services despite the high prices.
