Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not exactly what we expected from an accomodation bearing the name grand hotel, meaning excellent service, prestine cuisine, small gestures. Among a list of issues for us, to name a few, the unfriendly service on the phone, the special set menu that simple was a choice of the a la carte, would not let us recommend this hotel. The view though is fabulous and the location is special, so if you only care about those two maybe this is for you nevertheless, just bear in mind you have to go by car or take a taxi.

Would need some serious refreshment

The historical building of the hotel is nice, but would need some serious work and refreshment: also, the cleanliness could be better overall. For the number of guests, the parking slot is clearly insufficient. The breakfast was nice, the view on the lake amazing, but we were expecting a better standard.

Das Hotel besticht durch seine romantische und stilvolle Eleganz. Der Zuweg zum Hotel ist schon bereits ein echtes Highlight. Das Personal vor Ort sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Das Hotel hat jedoch nur einen Außenpool, der bereits ab Ende September geschlossen war. Die Sauna im Innenbereich muss man für einen relativ hohen Preis für 2 Stunden(40 € für zwei Personen ) extra buchen. Das Hotel hat grundsätzlich keinen Balkon, was sehr schade ist denn gerade in den Abendstunden ist die Sicht vom Zimmer auf den See einfach unbeschreiblich schön. Am ersten Abend waren wir im Hotel essen. Das Essen war recht teuer und auf dem Teller sehr überschaubar. Grundsätzlich aber nicht schlecht. Die Getränke konnten an der Bar für ein, für europäische Verhältnisse normalen Betrag, käuflich erworben werden In unserem Aufenthalt inbegriffen, war das Frühstück. Dieses war sehr reichhaltig. Da wir mit unserem Rund verreist waren, konnte dieser jedoch nicht in den Frühstücksraum und wir mussten in einem separaten Raum frühstücken. Das war leider etwas schade. Grundsätzlich gibt es auch keine Möglichkeit im Außenbereich zu frühstücken. Dies hätten wir gerne noch in Anspruch genommen, da das Wetter das noch zugelassen hat.
