Room was a bit warm, but that's to be expected in the middle of summer.

Super friendly staff. Great breakfast. Even though it was close to the center, we slept like babies. A huge bonus for us was that they had a separate bike room.

The room is hot during the day because of the weather. Sleeping with the window open at night can be noisy.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast options are diverse. The hotel location is impeccable for travelers. Minibar and cookies are sweet.

I can't fault Alte Post or their team on anything. I have stayed at many hotels in Lindau, both on and off the island, and none are as good as Alte Post.

This was my second stay at Alte Post and the hotel and their staff exceed the expectations set during my first stay. The rooms were clean, comfortable, spacious, and included great amenities. The included breakfast is special as it's substantial and offers something for every taste. A real highlight of Alte Post are the staff, they are all incredibly kind and helpful, and go above and beyond to ensure their guests are happy. I can't wait to stay at Alte Post again!

Can't think of a single thing!

The Alte Post is a 300 year old coaching inn. Downstairs the restaurant looks traditional and the food is great! We ate here, outside in the evenings, 3 times during our week's stay - go for the Hawaiian curry chicken :-) . The food is as good as if not better than the food in the main high street restaurants and as it was so hot it was good to be able to eat at our hotel. The breakfast has a choice of eggs cooked specially for you and a buffet style breakfast bar to choose your own meat, cheese, cereals, fruit, yoghurts and bread. The staff were all very friendly and didn't laugh at our attempts to speak German (I'm sure they were laughing inside!). We had a room on the north side of the building on the second floor, which was cool in 30+ degrees. We regretted bringing such heavy cases as there is no elevator - however the staff helped us with them on arrival. There is a little sun terrace on the second floor and we enjoyed reading outside in the evenings with the swifts flying over head. Lindau has everything you need and you can walk around the island's coastline through parks and pathways. Check out the garden pot and statue shop in one of the old railway sheds as you walk past - good thing we were flying home or our car would have ben full! We went by ferry to Konstanz, Mainau Island and Bregenz - all lovely, and if you love gardens, Mainau is a must - the Italian rose garden was in full bloom - heavenly. We also went to Ravensburg and St Gallen by train (trains and buses are free with the Lindau Card - you get this on arrival at your hotel). The whole area is lovely and there are lots of walks and cycle routes around the lake - would definitely have another holiday here.

Hotel is very clean and on very good location. Breakfast was very good i really recomand it. I dont recomand to come with car becouse its very hard to find parking.

It’s not a specific issue of this hotel, but guests should be aware that staying inside the island means very likely they have to park outside the island. It’s not a problem because you won’t need the car while you’re there, but it takes a little planning with checking in and out.

The room is so quiet which was very important for me! I feel so comfortable in the room. There is even a Terrasse where we can sit outside. The staff are all very welcoming. We love the breakfast in the morning. There is such a great atmosphere in the hotel. We feel like we are honoured guests. Will definitely stay here again.

Nothing to say here, it was as expected from a typical old authentic German hotel. So don’t go expecting the luxuries of a modern contemporary hotel.

Authentic German hotel with a very friendly staff and excellent German cuisine. Room were small but tidy and well equip. As expected there was no a/c but the windows opened to provide good ventilation. Just be aware that things in Lindau come alive at 6am when the church bell tolls. Wi-Fi and a most excellent breakfast are included. Easy access to all that Lindau island has to offer.

Great location, amazing old rooms with comfort. Access to roof terrace, close to beach and everything in town. They went the extra mile to get vegan stuff for breakfast.

Nothing

The hotel is in a great location in the old town. The room was spacious and everything was spotlessly clean. We had a meal on our first night and the food was excellent. Breakfast was great too with a good selection of rolls, cereals, eggs, yoghurts and fresh fruit. Very good coffee too. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Breakfasts were excellent. Hot food freshly prepared to order and a high-quality buffet.

We stayed 3 nights and were treated to superb, professional customer service. Fabulous location in walking distance to key Lindau attractions but not in the main "tourist" area. The on-site restaurant is absolutely fabulous for dinner and the 'included' breakfast was just wonderful. We were driving a hire car - so parking was going to be a concern - but after dropping off our luggage in front of the hotel, the (very safe) public car park is only a 5 minute walk away. Rooms seem to have been recently refurbished and have plenty of space, with great amenities like safe and fridge. Overall couldn't fault it and would highly recommend it as a venue to stay.

It is difficult to fault Alte Post in any way at all and my wife and I will definitely be back.

The staff at Alte Post are friendly and attentive. Our room was comfortable and allowed us to relax. The food is great, both the breakfast and the meals at the restaurant. The Hotel is in a great location on the island and is within walking distance of the train station and harbour. It also has a bus stop right outside the front door.
