Im Grossen und Ganzen ein gutes Hotel. Sehr gute Lage direkt am Plattensee. Umgebung war nicht so der Hammer. Kann mir aber gut vorstellen, dass im Sommer bedeutend mehr los ist...

It has a nice location with nice entrance. The room was a bit too small and had a step inside! It served dinner which was really bad nutrition. Breakfast was good and varied. Overall it was less than good experience.

The staff is friendly and helpful except the restaurant staff. They took everything several times while I went to take food with my room card and bag still at seat. It’s so rude and annoying.

Leider haben wir das Zimmer nicht um 15 Uhr bekommen sondern hat man uns warten lassen ca. 20min später man hätte als wieder gut machung von der Bar einige Drinks spendieren können..... Das Zimmer selbst ist neu renoviert ausreichend viel Platz dennoch nicht immer Sauber vorallem was die Handtücher anbelangt, war zumindest unser Gefühl... Die Lage des Hotels ist erstklassig. Frühstück ist ganz okay findet jeder was ebenso das Abendessen was ich persönlich etwas besser gefunden habe (wahrscheinlich weil mehr Auswahl da war) Alles in Allem bis auf das Warten und den Zimmerservice Sehr Gutes Erlebnis definitv Empfehlenswert.
