    Here’s what worked – and what didn’t

    The breakfasts were delightful! and the staff was exceptionally polite and helpful.

    Rooms can be small! with limited views and sometimes noisy neighbors.

    lake view
    poor signage
    inconvient location

    Exceptional lake views.

    I was really frustrated with the hotel's location. The walk from the railway station felt longer than expected, especially with my luggage. There should have been clearer information about the bus service or the availability of the cable car. It was incredibly annoying to descend all those stairs with heavy bags, and a heads-up would have been appreciated.

    Charming Getaway with Incredible Views

    I stayed two nights and loved the blend of elegance and comfort. The staff surprised me with a thoughtful note and treat upon check-in, which made my solo trip feel special. For future guests, make sure to enjoy the pool area—just be mindful of the pesky insects!

    giant chess set
    outdoor pool
    tiny room

    Such a charming little hotel! The garden with the giant chess set was a total win, and the outdoor pool area is just dreamy! Plus, those lovely high-ceiling rooms with a balcony? Absolutely fabulous!

    But my tiny room was more cramped than a squirrel in a shoebox! I might as well have been camping in there!

    beautiful terrace
    variety breakfast
    uncomfortable bed

    Had a fantastic time with friends here! We loved exploring the nearby lake and the beautiful terraced garden. While the breakfast had a lot of variety, it can get busy, so arrive early. Just a heads up, the parking can be a bit tricky if you have a large vehicle.

    The beds in our room weren't as comfortable as we hoped. We both woke up with back pain, which was disappointing compared to other places we stayed.

    The pool area was refreshing and the scenic gardens were perfect for relaxing. The charming decor gave an old-world vibe, and the spacious terrace was great for soaking in the sun.

    lake view
    varied breakfast
    slow wi-fi

    Perfect spot near the lake!

    We spent 2 nights and loved it! Super friendly staff helped us with local hotspots and our room had this sweet lake view from the balcony. Breakfast was awesome—had everything you could want. A cozy bar area to chill. The only bummer was that the Wi-Fi was kinda slow at times.

    old decor

    I truly loved my stay! The garden area with a pool was fantastic for relaxing, and the breakfast buffet had an amazing spread, especially the fruits. The room was very spacious and well-decorated with a charming old vibe, even better than the photos.
