The hotel was lovely and clean and the breakfast was plentiful with so much choice and plentiful. To make this place more green friendly the plastic cups in plastic bags should be replaced with reusable glasses.
Great hotel generally, and this was our second stay. Service was generally good and the staff work hard. The only exception was when we ate at the hotel in the evening. Limited options for families/children and waiting staff stuck us in the opposite corner of the restaurant and made clear their displeasure at our attendance close to closing time.
Hotel location was good. Lots of building work going on though so not great to look at from the front. Pool area and main foyer were nice, the room was very basic, needs updating. Food at the pool bar was also basic, pizza seemed to be a cheap frozen one. Some noise at the pool from building works. Overall I'm sure it will be nice once the building work has been complete but at the minute it is lacking.

Nice hotel location. Nice breakfast and common facilities.
Rooms quite old. Our AC was not working.
We booked this hotel mainly as it said in the description of amenities that it had a pool and sauna. To our surprise we found out that it was 20 Euros per person to use the sauna for 90 minutes and additional 10 Euros to use the indoor pool. Of course this was a dissapointmemt. If this is the case, I would strongly recommend Orbitz to clearly specify that in the description of the hotel prior to book. We probably might have selected another one.
The hotel staff were absolutely lovely, happy to help store our bags when we arrived too early to check in, booked us tickets to see the opera in the local castle. Breakfast has a wide range of continental and cooked foods which all tasted amazing. Food and drink from the pool bar is charged to the room which makes things easier. The pool is not supervised and is for age 14+ so it meant no young children screaming or splashing around near us which was a nice surprise. Our room was one of the older style ones which was comfortable but we would have preferred one which has been done up. Each room has a balcony, ours had a lovely Mountain View so used it every night. The only downside of the hotel was the location, about 15min walk into the town which isn’t so bad but is it quite a long uphill walk from the hotel to the station. Hotels.com said that the hotel offers a transfer service from the airport which we planned to use until we tried to book it and the hotel told us all it is is that they will book us a €80 taxi so not the free service we assumed. Ended up using public transport which was tons cheaper. We found ferry to be the best way to travel round the lake.
Hotel is slightly outdated but clean and charming. The location is very nice, walkable distance to the downtown, free parking. Paying extra for using the pool was kind of a surprise but it’s worth it. Breakfast is exceptionally good. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
Unique - free parking
Not so unique - hotel is under construction , I guess if you only stay one night you get the older rooms
Pool closes too early
Breakfast is ok , everything is presented in open dishes which results in cold scrambled eggs, cold bacon etc. my question is : why is that necessary ?
We were enjoying our stay and had no complaints until we found soiled underpants and an empty condom wrapper under the bed. The room had been cleaned twice during our stay and it was missed both times.

Dissatisfaction
The hotel is 4 stars but not very well maintained. No hot water on day 1, fixed. On the 2nd day there was no power in the shower, it was fixed, but I did not receive shampoo. We had to request at the reception. On the 3rd day, my Nike T-shirt went missing in my room. The front desk was not very interested in this incident. I was here for the second time, but for the last time.
Generell super. Die Anlage wird gerade renoviert, deshalb Teil-Baustelle incl Baukran etc. -hat uns aber nicht weiter gestört. Wir waren nur übers Wochenende, deshalb kein Lärm. Pool, Zimmer, Frühstück alles top
