Lakeside garden was very restful and the swimming pool was clean and quiet. Very helpful and friendly staff who made us feel at home. The hotel's jetty for the boat services on the lake was very convenient.

Lakeside hotel in a beautiful area.
A good hotel with large pool,plenty of loungers and options to kayak, water ski, paddle board. Everyone was very friendly and the food at breakfast and in the restaurant was good. The older part of the hotel could do with some modernisation but overall we had a relaxing and pleasant stay. The area is absolutely beautiful!!!

This was a great hotel with reasonable prices, and the staff was excellent. The only thing I would improve is the bathroom door- it’s very loud opening it and if you have to go in the night it will wake someone up!

Nice views. Could use some renovations
Check in and staff (cleaning and breakfast) were professional l.
Excellent breakfast. Distinctly above average.
The view of the lake was outstanding.
The hotel is run down though. It has a 70s/80s vibe. Shame the owners haven't considered investing in a face lift.

Service can be improved but generally satisfactory
Positives - Good view, restaurant & value. Negatives - Need a taxi to go everywhere. Junior staff were very welcoming & helpful, Senior Management were snooty and inflexible. No lift in the older side of the hotel so it was awkward to carry luggage to 2nd floor.

Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und neu renoviert. Das Bad bot eine begehbare Dusche mit Regenwald und Handbrause. Im Gesamten war alles sehr grosszügig.
Das Beste war der Balkon mit direktem Blick auf den See und sehr sonnig.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück bot viel Auswahl.
