Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a great choice for dinner with generous portions suitable for a family of four and a large dog, but the pre-prepared feel was disappointing. The rooms were too warm and lacked individual preparation, giving off a mass-tour feel.
The hotel has a beautiful room, but it is let down by old furniture and a stuffy, smelly ambiance. The staff seemed preoccupied with their own breakfast rather than catering to guests. However, the location is great for exploring the lakes over a weekend, though some areas show signs of wear and tear.
I was excited to stay at this hotel due to its stunning panoramic sea view but ended up disappointed with the dark room and lack of light coming through. The size was adequate for a family of four, but the outdated decor and small TV were noticeable drawbacks. On the upside, the central heating kept us warm throughout, although we couldn't control the temperature ourselves.
