Great Location for Lake Constance

Great hotel and well placed for the main central area and exploring the wider lake attractions. Check in was strange and we were advised we could only book a parking space for part of our trip but they couldn't tell us where it would be till the next day? Actually parking outside the hotel was fairly accessible and reasonably priced so this was not a big issue. Hotel was quiet during our stay and rooms were comfortable and well appointed. We didn't have breakfast or use the restaurant but the food looked pretty good? Would stay again if we were back in the region.

Haben zwei Zimmer nur Übernachtung ohne Frühstück gebucht. Die Zimmer waren riesig - Hätten locker zu viert in eins gepasst :) Alles tiptop sauber, Matratzen sehr bequem. Ein- und Ausschecken problemlos. Aussicht auf den Hinterhof - hat uns aber nicht gestört da wir ja nur zum Schlafen da waren. Entfernung zum Graf Zeppelin Haus fußläufig nur 5 min. also ideal wenn man - wie wir- dort auf einer Veranstaltung ist, und nicht mehr Auto fahren will. Hatten das Auto in der Tiefgarage des GZH geparkt. Würden jederzeit gerne wieder dieses Hotel buchen.

Insgesamt ist das Hotel sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Auch die Zimmer sahen auf den Bildern besser aus als in Wirklichkeit. Wir waren schon etwas vor Check-in Zeit da, von anderen Hotels sind wir gewohnt, dass dann geschaut wird ob bereits ein Zimmer sauber ist. Hier wurde aber pauschal einfach auf die checkinzeit verwiesen. Das Zimmer hatte einen sehr unangenehmen Geruch und war direkt neben dem Aufzug, was sehr zu hören war. Der Ausblick war alles andere als schön, auf ein Dach mit kaputten Möbeln und einen Hinterhof. Es war einfach keine Wohlfühlatmosphäre. Der Whirlpool war kaputt und für Sauna hätte man bezahlen sollen. Das Frühstück war grenzwertig, die Wassermelone war nicht mehr genießbar und auch sonst wenig uberzeugend (Fertig Aufbackbrötchen etc). Würde das Hotel für diesen Preis nicht empfehlen! Das einzige was positiv war, war dass das Personal meist sehr freundlich war
