Our booking for three nights was made by our German friends who are regular visitors to the area although they had not stayed at this hotel before. The hotel was easy to find just a few Kms from Konstanz the capital of the area. It is part of, a nunnery although seperated as a building, from the main buildings. There is some building work going on but this does not interfere with the Hotel.
The Hotel was built within the last two years , it is modern light and airy and has been designed with some thought and is particularly handicap friendly. The hotel has a chapel and silent areas and although the nuns are actively invovled they are not the customer contact. Car parking is not allowed close to the hotel so it is a matter of unloading and taking your car down the road for say 500yds and walking back...it could be a problem. The parking is not secure.
The rooms are of a reasonable size with small balconies, you pay a premium for those facing Lake Konstanz. The bathrooms donot have a bath with a shower and wrap around curtain on a wetroom principle, which does not work particularly well. The towels are adequate, nothing more. There is a small 5 channel tv in the bedroom,no english programmes. Also an internet free point with the appropriate lead available from reception, I could not get it to work. Our biggest complaint was that there was no air conditioning in the whole of the building, why this should be in such a modern building I would never know. The bedroom was doubleglazed with a large windowdoor onto the balcony that was fitted with a fly screen for when the door was open, however this was not at all convenient for walking on and off the balcony when it was heavily infested with mosquitoes. We found the room difficult to keep cool, airless and not able to use the balcony and take advantage of the view over the lake.
We had the inclusive continental breakfast, which was adequate and various snacks but had our main meals out. Beers are served but I am not sure about other alcholic drinks.
The place is run as conference centre with rooms and I did not feel as though I was on holiday.
