We booked the place just to rest as a middle point in our Tour and we just couldn't sleep. The room was big and spacious,we got the customary water bottles. Our room faced the road and the curtains were thin. So the light from the streetlamps and the Traffic sounds kept us awake all night. We booked a Double bed room and we were provided 2 single beds, the receptionist proceeds to tell us that thats Double bed. German is not my native tongue but words have definite meaning and they do not change, no matter how passive aggressively you repeat it. The parking costs 10€ for Cars and even for Motorbikes which I think is a bit unfair, since motorbikes take half the space. The Hotel itself has nice niches and decor but also dusty and unclean in places. All in all terrible stay

Hotel rooms are located in two buildings. The one we were in is a hotel restaurant, but there is no direct access from the hotel corridors, To eat breakfast you have to go outside, which is not very nice when it is raining. The second thing is the lack of much choice for vegetarians in that restaurant. And the last very important thing, the height of some rooms, if your height is over 180 cm, ask for a room with the appropriate height! If my husband and my daughter's boyfriend didn't hit their heads several times a day until we changed rooms, my review would be 5 stars, because the hotel has its own charm and the service is very nice.

Great service at this hotel with fantastic lakeside location. Room was ok. Lovely food but pricey. Aware of shared facilities before arrival but did not realise would be sharing one showet and toilet with multiple rooms/guests. These got wet and smelly.

This hotel is too old, the building structure looks very bad, the floor is tilted and making beds tilted too. Sound insulation is terrible, you can hear people walking upstairs. No elevator. No private bathroom, six or seven rooms shared one toilet and one shower.

It was a quick walk to a private park leading to a serene spot by the lake. The receptionist,Katrina, was the warmest and kindest person who welcomed and helped us out. It's a disappointment that the street where the chalet was is undergoing a major repair. No access to take a shot in front. I wish Expedia notified us ahead of time

False advertising. Had to share the bathroom and cold water in the morning was just surprised. This is a hostel type of place and despite the beautiful lake, it’s very old and beat up.
