So near an excellent hotel…. but!

Lovely classic hotel but the service lacks. Two attempts to fix a noisy bathroom fan both failed, no apology and theres a lack of good customer service generally. Some staff are polite and friendly others can’t raise a smile. Hot breakfast items were poor and stone cold, other breakfast items very good. Easily rectified issues but can they be bothered?

The hotel is next to the lake and a short walk from the station. The foyer and rooms are beautiful with the most amazing views. Everything is spotlessly clean. We loved that there is an indoor and outdoor pool. We didn't eat at the hotel as tgere

This property is gorgeous. The suite and pool was amazing. The view was breathtaking, pictures don’t do it justice. The staff was very friendly, too. Perfect place for a couples getaway.

A little bit hard to move around without a car, so I suggest you rent one, or be ready to spend a few hundred euros in taxis! The location is nice, the view on the lake is amazing. The room were small and the electrical plug was pretty far away from the bed. There's a horizontal elevator that brings you to the other section of the hotel.
