I introduced this beautiful region to my wife and a befriended couple from Denmark and decided to book a 2 nights weekend getaway at the Hotel Val Vignes in St. Hippolyte. The hotel itself is beautiful and so is the location. The service of the frontdesk team and all the employees we encountered is magnificent. We enjoyed every interaction with them. Beeing it pre- and afterdinner drinks, bike rental, wine storage; everything was great, and as mentioned, the staff is superb. The only disappointment was the actual room. We booked the Premium category, but the room didn't look at all as displayed. We had a parking view and the room was just OK. A bummer as it didn't match the overall wonderful experience we encountered at this exceptional hotel. Also, the room cleaning was not up to standard. Dirty towels (we put on the floor) were taken but not exchanged. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel, but we would ensure we will get an appropriate room per booked category when visiting again.

Oh my goodness. Where to start? The setting is sublime. Nestling in the village beneath the Chateau Haut Koenigsbourg (a must visit!) with the slopes of the vineyards separating you from it - and this was our view from our room on opening the curtains! The room was large with easy chairs and a tea station with kettle. The bathroom was large with a walk in shower and good toiletries. All very well appointed. The restaurant is a beautiful room with very good food and the most professional, welcoming, helpful team. Highly recommend.

Finding the car park was not easy! Eventually we parked in the lower car park for those attending seminars but that meant quite a distance and lots of steps to carry several bags. The actual car park is behind the hotel we discovered. FYI: There is no fridge in the room. One English breakfast teabag - I’m sure you could ask for more though, the team are all very helpful. It would be great to have a ‘formule’ menu (e.g. 3 courses for 44€?) to help budgets.

Spacious room, relaxed friendly atmosphere throughout the hotel. Nice public spaces for relaxation. Friendly and helpful staff. Plentiful parking. Superb buffet breakfast, although pricey if you only want a light meal. Spa area with sauna and steam room was good for private session - we didn't have any problem reserving the slots we wanted, but that could be an issue if there was more demand. Plentiful parking.

Nothing much. Tea and coffee provision in room could be a bit more generous - e.g. there wasn't enough provided for both guests to enjoy the same tea choice.

We had a wonderful stay in the Val-Vignes - a historic building set in the beautiful village of Saint Hippolyte. The spacious room had all the amenities we wanted and a recently renovated and roomy bathroom. The restaurant was top quality, and there was a sumptuous breakfast buffet. All the staff were excellent, warmly welcoming and very attentive. The church bells don’t ring between 9 at night and 8.30 in the morning and we had a peaceful night. We could not believe how little we paid for such a memorable stay. We look forward to visiting again

We arrived in the evening and the signage from the parking was sometimes a little too unobtrusive.

Great location in this quiet little village, amid fields of vines, quite scenic. Just 2.5 km from the Haut Koenigsbourg castle. Room was large, comfy bed, reasonable size bathroom. Being short staffed, their restaurant was operating at lower capacity and was full when we got there. They were gracious enough to serve us dinner in our room instead. Odd detail: the modern utilitarian furniture, like what you typically find in international chain hotels, in the whole place clashed with the overall spirit of the building and the place.

Lovely hotel with an interesting history. Fantastic views overlooking St-Hippolyte and the surrounding countryside. Although our room was at the back of the hotel, the view was of vineyards and Chateau du Haut-Koenigsbourg. St-Hippolyte is definitely worth walking around to view the beautiful buildings.

Nothing; although it was a challenge to find a restaurant with a table available for an evening meal we did succeed, there are plenty to choose from, but we were arriving after 7pm. As we had booked room only breakfast was a challenge too and although we found a charming bakery within walking distance, it is worth considering whether paying for breakfast would be easier.

the location was excellent for the Alsace wine route. The views from the hotel are beautiful We stayed in the front of the building and had a lovely view at night over the town to the valley below.The staff were very helpful and kind. The gentleman on the breakfasts went out of his way to make sure that the breakfast choices were always plentiful. very good breakfast. The food in the restaurant was excellent although expensive .The head waiter /wine waiter recommended some excellent local wines and nothing was too much trouble . The bedrooms were very clean nice towels and sheets comfortable bed

The hotel was listed as a 4 star on booking .com I think as the rooms and especially the bathrooms are tired and there is no air conditioning it is more like a 3 star.The price did reflect this. The front south facing patio was exceptionally hot with limited shade. such a beautiful spot you felt you wanted to glamourise the patio with planters and greenery for a more cooling affect

There is a great view from the terrace over the vineyards and Rhine valley because hotel is situated slightly above the village. Room was big and well appointed. When you reserve the sauna, you have it for yourself! Well marked vineyards walking trails (possibly also for mountain bikes) pass immediately by the hotel.

If there is anything to mention in this category then the squeaking floor was a small nuisance.

The bed was comfortable, we slept very well. The room was very clean. Staff spoke English which we appreciated and they appreciated our attempts at French. Staff were professional and friendly. Dinner was very excellent. Breakfast was excellent and the staff member on duty in the breakfast room was absolutely lovely. The village is stunning, tudor architecture in perfectly preserved condition.

Everything was perfect

Close your eyes and imagine an idyllic place nestled in vineyards overlooking a charming Alsatian village where the church bells ring out the hours of the day -- this is Hotel Val-Vignes. The staff are incredibly friendly and highly professional. The rooms spacious, clean, and comfortable. The Table de Val-Vignes is offers outstanding food , drinks., and service. The morning breakfast is excellent. The view from the hotel patio is breath-taking. It is a short walk down to the lovely village of Saint Hippolyte. And be sure to take a walk in the nearby vineyards -- incredible views. Long uphill hike or short but tortuous drive up to the castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg but worth the visit.
