Breakfasts are not what they were! .. not very healthy- lots of sugar and reused food / not hot selection - juice is boxed and sugary - coffee dispenser broken and unhygienic. Restaurant has extremely poor selection- no afternoon tea offered anymore. Amenities getting tired and old - not particularly child friendly- staff were grumpy ( one lovely exception!) location being built out - no fan in the bathroom- only two teabags in room , no milk, no refreshments offered in room. Won’t be back.

Não é um hotel de 3 estrelas e não cobra em dólar

Infelizmente não tivemos uma boa experiência. Cuidado quem vai pagar em dinheiro na estadia. O valor da conversão do dólar para peso é com base na cotação do dólar MEP. Uma dica é levar os dólares para pagar a estadia, senão a estadia vai sair 10% a mais na conversão do hotel para pesos. O quarto estava com problema no aquecedor e não tivemos a oportunidade de mudar, pois não havia disponibilidade de novo quarto. O café da manhã é bem fraco: pão, sugo e biscoitos. Nem as medialunas que é algo comum na região, infelizmente não tinha. O restaurante do hotel funciona apenas a noite - 19:30h às 22h. O quarto não tem espelho fora do banheiro e internet fraca. O banheiro acumula água e vaza para área de piso. Lembrando que ele fica há 18/20 minutos do centro. Como na cidade não tem Uber, o táxi é a única solução. A equipe de atendimento é simpática, mas se esforçou pouco nos problemas.

Fantastic and super friendly staff! Room was clean and properly equipped, but a touch small. Good breakfast and dinner available on- site. Walking distance to town center.

No se si fue expedia o el propio hotel pero revendieron y cuando llegue no tenia las habitaciones. Tuvimos q salir a buscar un hotel nuevo en la semana del festival del lago von todo repleto de gente. Medio dia perdido y el humor arruinado por 24 hrs. Eso no se hace, al menos se avisa antes

Maybe another time.

The water didn’t work for our stay. Maybe not their fault but obviously played a part in it not being our fave place ever. Front desk was awesome.

We found the hotel staff to be very helpful and loved the views! We would’ve enjoyed a larger breakfast selection and usually had to visit the local supermarket to stalk up on extra goods. The hotel was close to town, which was nice!! We were able to able to get around easily.
