Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beautiful room and bathroom at the front of the hotel. Had large balcony, shared with other rooms (although nobody else used it when we were there). Extremely comfortable room with efficient aircon. Food in the on-site restaurant was excellent, as was the hotel's home-grown/produced wine. Breakfast also great, with loads of choice. Staff polite and helpful. Some noise from passing trains when windows were open, but being near the station was a requirement for us, and this didn't impact our stay.

Ihana paikka

Ihana perinteikäs hotelli luonnon keskellä. Siisti, valoisa ja iso huone. Kiva uima-allasalue ja hyvä aamiainen. Ainoa miinus junien aiheuttamasta kolinasta, muutoin erittäin rauhallinen ympäristö.

Zentral gelegen mit schönem Park

Sehr zentral beim Bahnhof gelegen, z.T. mit Blick zum See und zur Stadt. Klassischer Hotelbau mit grosszügigen und schönen Zimmer, die z.T. renoviert sind. Wunderbarer, grosszügiger Park. Die Aussen- und die Innenbereiche sind sehr sauber, das Personal äusserst freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist grosszügig, frisch aber etwas eng. Etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig sind die Plastik-Leuchten im Zimmer und die Zigarettenstummel auf dem Balkonboden. Alles in allem ein positiver Aufenthalt - wir würden wieder kommen!
