“Good views, not much else to go for it”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2011

We spent two nights there on a holiday. Had a room with lakeview and balcony, view extremely stunning and worth the extra cost. Although it was extremely hot, the lake lets the atmosphere cook off nicely during the night. Although centrally located, quite quiet. The room was smallish, the beds ok, but I've had better ones, the funriture old-fashioned and not up to the price. The bath, though, was very new and quite modern.
Dinner (outside and near the lake) was average at best, breakfast below average (not much choice of bread, and they close a lot earlier than advertised), and the staff at the restaurant/breakfast area was not very friendly, the staff at reception, on the other hand, was nice and helpful.
There are no nice public rooms to use for the hotel guests (except the restaurant), so the small size of the room becomes more of a problem.

“nice hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

We stayed at this hotel for one night.
we booked 2 of the the more expensive rooms that have the lake view and indeed it was worth the extra cost. the view of the the lake from the room balcony is superb. the hotel is in the center of down town and in a very good location. parking is free in the big parking lot next to the hotel from 6:00 pm to 10:00 am which was exactly what we needed. the room are a bit dated but very comfortable and the bathrooms are newly remodeled, very modern and comfortable. free Wifi was provided in the room which was very welcome. The only problem we had was with a light fixture that has a sensor and will come on when a movement is detected, which means that at night the light comes on and wake up any body which is asleep if any other person walks by the light (on the way to the bathroom, minibar, etc. they should provide some kind of a switch to bypass this light.
We did not have dinner at the hotel since it seems a bit expensive, however breakfast was excellent and was included in the price.
In general we had a very good stay, and I will recommend this hotel to anybody using this city.

Room Tip: If you need, there is a food supermarket very short walk from the hotel.

“Beautiful view from large,very nice room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

We had a large, well kept,modern room with a tremendous view over the water. The location couldn't have been better with everything within walking distance. The staff were very friendly and we were allowed to keep our bicycles right in the lobby. The buffet breakfast was also very good and sitting outside with a drink watching the world go by was most pleasant.
Overall a most enjoyable stay in a great spot.

Room Tip: Get a room with a view -it could be a bit noisy depending on what is going on in the square but well...

“Nice traditional hotel on the water”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed in one of the suites in this hotel on a business trip. The staff was very friendly and the room was wonderful. The bed was a, believe it or not- water bed! My other associates did not have this luxury, so if you're looking for the water bed suite, be sure to ask.

The room was very clean and modern and the view of the lake was great. The room was very quiet and the bathroom was also spacious and clean.

There is a traditional restaurant down stairs where they serve you a complimentary breakfast. The buffet was very nice with an assortment of all sorts of goodies including hot food, pastries, and fruit. I also had dinner here one night and the meal was great.

I had a wonderful stay and I would recommend this to anyone traveling in the area.

“What a great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2011

person found this review helpful

Located right on a beutiful lake, in the heart of the city. Family run and very friendly service. They also have a great old style beer bar and a fine dinning room with views of the lake and city. Our room was obviusly updated recently and very stylish and comfortable. We had a view to the lake, flat screen tv, and a full mini bar. Nice town for walking and plenty of mountains around for bikes and hiking.

Room Tip: Ask for a lake view
