Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant and comfortable. The room had a lovely view overlooking the lake, which made it convenient for us with a pushchair. However, there was an unfortunate drain smell on the balcony, likely from some inconsiderate guests allowing their dogs to leave messes unattended for days. This put a damper on our outdoor experience.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and overlooked the beautiful lake, making it a serene experience. The bed was incredibly comfy, and everything I needed was right at my fingertips. The staff was welcoming and helpful. However, there were some issues with organization that affected the overall service quality. The location was convenient for exploring various towns in the area, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel offers well-presented and comfortable rooms in a great location by the river, though smaller than they appear in photos. The service was pleasant and helpful, despite ongoing complaints, and the location is central with some minor drawbacks. The dining experience was very nice in specific areas. Overall, a good value for the money.
