I could not find the entrance. The front of the building and even inside the front of the building there are signs for this hotel. Could not get in looked on the side of the building could not see a sign it's all two other signs apparently you have to walk halfway down that street just to actually see that's fine. Cost me $12 to activate my data to locate the entrance. Then had to make an international phone call to reach out to them because nobody is there to man the check-in process. That was another $15. Could not figure out how to adjust the temperature in the room. Bathroom door would not shut unless you were forceful with it. Paid way too much for zero service and an uncomfortable room. Will not stay here again and do not recommend it!

The room was very basic — no safe, fridge, telephone, kettle, or even a cup — but clean, with thick, crisp towels provided. It was also quite spacious for a twin room. The standout feature was its exceptional cleanliness; both the room and bathroom were spotless, exceeding even 5-star hotel standards, which was particularly reassuring for someone with OCD. However, housekeeping missed some cigarette stubs left by previous guests in the window sill. The stubs are still there.

The bed, while firm, offered great lumbar support and caused no backache during a week-long stay, contrary to some complaints about it being too hard. The in-house coffee lived up to the rave reviews — strong and enjoyable.

During an autumn stay, the room’s ventilation became a trade-off: opening the windows allowed fresh air in but also brought street noise. The double-glazed windows provide silence when closed, but I chose fresh air over quiet. If you are bothered by the noise, prepare ear plugs. It can get really noisy when the windows are open.

Lastly, the hotel was very responsive to messages via the Hotels.com app, which added to the positive experience. Overall, despite the lack of amenities, the cleanliness, space, and service made it a place worth returning to.

Note: Prepare your booking number sent in an email from the hotel for self-check-in. I couldn't figure out what it was until I got in using other information. Else, prepare to stand outside the door and struggle.

The key system is hit and miss. The lack of staff on site feels wrong. The overall feeling is soulless. Some nice touches like the on tap coffee. But many hotels provide that in room. We had a long walk up a flight of stairs and through a heavy door. Not easy when carrying two cups.
Our room was for a disabled person and this made the shower awkward as it was partially broken. Also no plug in the sink. But no one to tell.

We weren’t informed during booking our stay that there was going to be a festival on right outside our window on the street that was taking place until 2am in the morning and then cleaning up till 4am, we booked the junior suite as we were travelling with 2 kids under 4 who were then unable to sleep through the noise, as one of the main nightclubs was practically under us, no accountability from the staff to apologise for not informing us

Fine for a quick one-night stay.

The room does not match the images for the room. The street noise was surprisingly loud, not just trucks and road noise - there's a pizzeria below and people holler and laugh in the street dining until 0100-0200 in the morning. With your windows open in the heat of the summer it is quite loud. Though there is an automated \"check-in\" system, I had to call their (off-site) concierge to find out my room number - an email is sent once you check-in but if you don't have good cellular service - you won't get the email quickly, so you're just standing there with two room keys having no idea which room they open.

Disrespect to customers with dysfunction of automa

The rooms are enough big and clean.
The motel is in a business center with too much noise untill late night from the shops around.
The Check-in was automatic, the electronic system was not working, three passengers on 19:00 o'clock were behind the door for 45 minutes and no one came to help us. It was totally rude and impolite to behave to the passengers, who have paid and expect respect. It was really a shame for such a motel system. At the end even no apologies. It was terrible!

Pros:
Room and bedding were clean enough.
Self check-in was easy.
Free parking was nice

Cons:
There are several street cafes in and around the building. They are quite noisy late into the evening (until 1am) and the room does not have AC or even a fan, so you need to decide between quiet or a cool room, you don't get both.
The free coffee room and breakfast 2 go were locked in the morning and our room card didn't open the door.
If there's an issue it's impossible to communicate with any staff. There are none on premise and they don't answer their phone or reply to emails in a timely manner.

Very unique, quirky hotel with self check-in. No frills, but also half the price of any other hotel in Buchs. Has a dorm/hostel type feel but with your own bathroom. No a/c and we were here during some warm August days, so needed to open the windows and the street could be loud, but somehow we still slept very soundly. If you're looking for convenience, cleanliness, and value, this is your place. If you're looking for customer service and luxury, you may be happier elsewhere. We liked it.

When I checked in, I was initially nervous as there wasn’t actually a front desk with staff. I thought, what if something goes wrong. I still don’t have an answer for that, but the stay turned out to be lovely. Nothing did go wrong, and I expect to see more staff-less hotels like this in the future. The check-in takes place at an electronic kiosk on the 2nd floor, where your key card is printed. A very easy process.

This hotel was something of a surprise, given that it is a) completely automated and b) situated in the middle of a shopping centre. It is, however, immaculately clean and very well located, not far from the train station and the bridge into Lichtenstein.

With the room pre-booked, all that was needed initially is either the booking reference or your surname. Other information is then required (address details, passport information, etc) before a couple of cards for entry to your room are delivered by the machine.

The room was large and smart, with an equally impressive bathroom with towels and shower gel provided. There is an eating area on one of the floors where free tea and coffee are always availble and, in the morning, this is supplemented by croissants and fresh fruit.

This is clearly the future for some hotels and, on the basis of this one, when things are done efficiently and without hassle, it works very well. Not sure what happens if you leave your entry card in your room by mistake and leave building as there is (apparently) no-one on site to help you out!

Great location for Buchs train station and for exploring Liechtenstein Schaan & Vaduz area. The auto-check in worked very well. The room was clean and comfortable. There were 24 hr drinks facilities in the main area and croissants in the morning. It was easy to access the hotel even though it was in the shopping centre, however felt very safe and contained. There are no staff that you see which for me was not a problem. For others who like the traditional hotel setting, and a use the reception function for local information, bookings, reservations etc, it may not work for them

Overall ok, but automatic check in was difficult

Overall, the hotel is nice. However, the check-in was rather difficult. Especially because we arrived almost at midnight and it's located inside a building that has all entrance closed and there are no clear signs. However, the 24/7 phone number was useful and help us get in. For a hotel where everything is automatized and they provide just the basic services (i.e. basic breakfast, no extra pillows, etc) you would expect the price to be cheaper.

Schone, ruime kamer. Het zelf-incheck systeem koste even wat tijd, maar werkte allemaal prima. Gratis parkeren in de parkeergarage, wij hadden en dakkoffer, dus dat ging niet. Hoogte maar 2,05 m, houdt daar rekening mee, als je met een dakkoffer reist en deze locatie boekt. Wij hebben de dakkoffer er afgehaalt en toen alsnog in de garage geparkeerd. Schoonmaakpersoneel 's ochtends vriendelijk, verder geen personeel gezien, Fijn met de (gratis) koffie- & theemachine en croissantjes.

Undvik om du reser med barn

Vi bokade hotellet samma dag som incheckning, på genomresa från Italien till Sverige med två små barn. Trots att vi bokade för fyra personer var rummet inte i ordning: bäddsoffan var inte bäddad och det fanns varken information eller material i rummet för att göra det själv.

Receptionen var obemannad och först efter att vi själva ringt ett nummer fick vi veta att vi skulle hämta sängkläder i ett skåp vid ett annat rum. Inget av detta hade nämnts i förväg och hade vi vetat det, hade vi aldrig bokat detta boende eftersom vi visste att vi skulle anlända efter barnens läggdags.

När vi väl hittade skåpet saknades kuddar. Personen i telefonen påstod först att de skulle finnas där, men efter att vi förklarat flera gånger bekräftades att det inte fanns några fler.

Som om detta inte vore nog var rummet dessutom smutsigt, vi har bifogat bilder till hotellet via mail. Utan återkoppling.

Att behöva springa runt sent på kvällen och försöka lösa detta själva med trötta barn är helt oacceptabelt. Vi betalade för fyra personer men fick inte ens grundläggande komfort. Vi har bett om prisavdrag och hoppas att hotellet tar ansvar.

Undvik detta hotell om du vill ha en smidig, trygg och ren övernattning, särskilt med barn.
