Lixheim Hotels

"We liked everything."

"We had a great stay at this small hotel tucked away in a wooded area of the Vosges. The renovated room was very comfortable with good quality bedding and although the bathroom was a little dated everything worked well with plenty of hot water. What was really outstanding was the lovely brasserie (they also have a large dining room which is used for big group events) where we dined and had breakfast both nights of our stay (other dining options are a drive away). Like the rooms the brasserie had also had a contemporary makeover (the building is very old) and felt very cosy. The food was very typical of the region but with modern twists and cooked really well, and the portions were huge! Sven the chef is clearly very talented. The cold breakfast buffet was delicious… the best croissants we have ever had in France (baked on the premises apparently) and lovely local cheese and ham as well as fruit and yogurts and bread. Excellent value for €10. Seven’s partner Khrystyna works very hard providing a polished dining service and also acting as receptionist and helpful host. She was very patient with our faltering French but was happy to help in English too. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stop here if you are in the region. The pretty wine villages are 15-20 minutes drive away and well worth visiting."
