Ringhotel Krone is our Luxury pick in Friedrichshafen. It has 4 stars and a guest score of 8.8 from 257 reviews, the top score among the three hotels we compared.
It suits drivers and travellers who plan to spend time at the hotel. The listed facilities are the most complete of our three picks: gym, spa, pool, restaurant, free parking, garden and terrace. Guests also praise the staff and the breakfast.
Skip it if you expect modern bathrooms. The one recurring complaint is dated bathroom facilities with small showers, poor lighting and signs of mould. Also skip it if you want to walk into town, as the Zeppelin Museum is more than 50 minutes away on foot.
Location and getting around
The address is Untere Mühlbachstr. 1. Guests rate the location 8.2.
The Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen is about 4.2 km away by straight-line estimate, roughly 53 minutes on foot. That is far, so you will need public transport, a taxi or a car.
Free parking is listed, which makes a car the simplest option here. Specific bus or train connections are not confirmed in our data, so check a journey planner if you arrive without one.
What guests say
Staff receive the strongest praise, described as friendly, professional and helpful, with a warm welcome. Breakfast is the other highlight: an extensive buffet with a large selection of fresh, high-quality items. Options listed are continental, vegetarian, gluten-free and buffet.
The negative theme is clear and specific. Guests describe dated bathrooms with small showers, poor lighting and signs of mould. At this price, that is worth checking before you book.
The score comes from 257 reviews, the smallest base of our three picks here. It placed joint 1st of 3, but a smaller sample means individual stays carry more weight.
Price compared with our other Friedrichshafen picks
The reference price we saw was €223.40 a night, about €446.80 for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. The sample median was €101.60, so this costs more than twice the typical price. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, ibis Styles Friedrichshafen, was €88.20 a night with 8.3 and 3 stars. Our Best Value pick, Holiday Inn Express Friedrichshafen by IHG, was €101.60 with 8.5 and 3 stars.
The extra €120 or so a night over the Best Value pick buys a fourth star, the top score, free parking and a spa, pool and gym. If you will not use those, the cheaper picks are the better deal.
Why it made our top 3
Only 3 eligible hotels were in our Friedrichshafen sample. For the Luxury slot, five-star hotels are prioritised, and a four-star fallback must score at least 8.5. This four-star scored 8.8, so it qualified.
Its facility list and top guest score set it apart from the other two.
