"I like the vicinity to train station and Altstadt shopping and restaurants. The hotel lacks a few safety features in the Bathroom area like unsave bathtub ie could use rubber mats or hand rails. The Bar/Restaurant on street level is excessively noisy (music - low level base) at weekends Friday/Saturday up to 4AM."

"Very nice hotel on the lake front, would recommend a room with a lake view. We enjoyed the breakfast and the food and wine in the restaurant were very good. The hotel was very clean and everyone was very friendly. Our only suggestion for improvement would be some better lighting in the room as it was very difficult to get ready to go out in evening."
