Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers rooms with many amenities, including a bathtub and balcony, providing a good view from the lower floors. The service is efficient, with a friendly reception desk and available room service and pet amenities. The location is exceptional, situated right in front of the square and just next to the lake. The dining experience, although with a slight inconvenience in timing, boasts a breathtaking view on the water. The facilities ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
I couldn't have asked for a better hotel location, right by the lake and in a pedestrian zone filled with charm. The rooms were spacious, clean, and boasted a big bathtub for a touch of luxury. However, dining was a bit late for early risers, and the Wi-Fi had an extra charge, which was a minor drawback.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location is superb, right next to the spectacular lake and just a stone's throw away from the ferry pier. The rooms are cozy with a lovely bathtub and a balcony for that extra touch of relaxation. The service was top-notch, especially at the reception desk, making me feel truly welcomed. The dining options were currently served and delicious. However, the view during dining could be more breathtaking. The facilities were well-kept and added to the overall pleasant experience. I found the value for money to be excellent combined with the incredible location.
