Pluses: The hotel was clean and in a great location. Building was secure. Parking was located in a garage next door. Not too pricey on our visit. Great views of the water and close to everything. The breakfast was nice and had many options. Room was fresh and very clean.

Minuses: The staff was not very friendly. For international travelers that do not hold a Maestro Card, be prepared to pay cash at checkin! That would have been nice to know prior to arriving. I have never stayed at a hotel that requires you to pay cash up front. :P (My bad for not realizing the Maestro thing) The free WiFi....is a BIG NOT! You have to go to the McDonalds.

Would I stay again??? I probably would because of the location and knowing what I know now about the WiFi and the cash deal.

I booked this hotel becuase the location and price were good. But I immediatly found out that service is nonexistant aftter 6pm. Literally no one is at the front desk! They promised that I could arrive after 6pm and they would leave a key in a lock box. I arrived and there was no key. They did not answer the 24 hour number that was posted. I ended up having to check into the hotel next door at twice the price. Quite frustrating! Needless to say I recommend that people stay somewhere else.

We stayed here for 4 nights whilst visiting our daughter on a 1 year class at the local University. The hotel was easy to find but parking was expensive in a local multi story - 14 EUR a day, more if you drove in and out during the day. On checkout I found you could buy a cheaper multi day ticket from the hotel, not mentioned on the website.

The price was reasonable and it is in a nice central location but is on top of a Macdonalds. This was a noisy meeting place at 2AM for teenagers on Friday and Saturday but was OK the other nights. Breakfast was included in our booking but is in the Macdonalds, not my usual place to start the day. But they do 2 croissants with jam and coffee which was OK. There is a full service hotel nearby where you can pay extra and get the breakfast buffet, we never tried it but another guest said it was really good.

Room was clean and large but sparsely decorated and looked a bit barren, beds were comfortable, TV only had 1 English channel (CNN) - not a criticism as I am in Germany but just a note if you are looking for that kind of thing. It wasn't the kind of room I would look forward to going back to and relaxing in, more of a place to just to sleep in.

Location was excellent, close to the centre and within walking distance of most attractions. Many local restaurants offering great food (ask for an English menu - most have them) and the sightseeing locally is excellent. Take a ferry to Meersburg on a sunny day and walk around the old town.

Staff were friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English compared to my abysmal schoolboy German.

Overall a decent stay, on a price basis I would stay here again because it is a lot cheaper than other hotels in the town centre and with the Pound tanking against the Euro that becomes one of the main considerations.

This is one of the cheapest places in central Konstanz and you have to be prepared to see the cost reflect some what in the quality of the rooms. my stay was 41 euros per night with an extra 4 euros per day if I wanted breakfast at mac donalds.
The biggest problem for me was the stench of smoke already in the room, although the rooms are meant to be non-smoking it was bad enough for me (non-smoker) to cause some health problems next morning. The room was big enough and the place was clean and warm. The TV has some 50 channels to choose from which is more than norm. The staff are very friendly and accomodating. Not the easiest of places to find. You have to pay by cash on arrival too which may catch you out. All in all its not a terrible place and if they could get rid of the smoke smell I would say its fairly good value for money. Youth hostel is approx 25 euros per night (2 miles away) if you want a comparison.
