We had a great stay at this hotel, especially the bar staff was wonderful. The food was also very good, we enjoyed sitting on the front porch relaxing, enjoying a drink and dinner. Beautiful area, walking distance to the esplanade is a just across the street. This hotel is just out of the busy tourist area which we loved. There is more of a walk to the old town area but worth it because it is just beautiful. The hotel did provide bus/tram passes for all of us however we did not use them. They also arranged for our taxi to the train station. The hotel is obviously older but the rooms have been updated and are very clean.

The pictures posted on the listing do not do it justice. The property is very pretty. The front desk staff is very helpful. One of the managers, Conrad, helped me with parking the car and to solve an issue with the rental car. The rooms are spacious, newly renovated with updated amenities. There is a great view of the lake from the room balcony The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was very modern. Lots of outlets to charge. A bonus was an included breakfast that was delicious with a lot of variety. I highly recommend this hotel.

Property is being fully renovated so only a portion of the rooms are available. Our room was very nice, remodeled, and great design. Restaurant was ok with very limited menu. Breakfast is excellent. Staff very nice and helpful.

I read both the good and bad reviews before reserving to be honest I had my doubts before the actual arrival. For context, I’ve travelled quite a bit, stayed in some of the best hotels and generally I’m a picky person. Let me tell you that this is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. What a cute soulful place!! Check in was a breeze, they let me do so early even. The room was spacious, neat, the bathroom was impeccably clean (and white so u can actually see how clean it is). no bugs in the room (I checked). But obviously if you sleep w the windows open you’ll invite the nocturnal fauna in your room. They have portable air conditioners in the room to compensate, though I agree that window screens would do wonders in this case. The lake views are of course unmatched. The restaurant was very reasonably priced, food was delicious and hearty. Some reviews commented on lack of luggage ramp and I only had a backpack but how can one complain about this given the historic beauty of this building? It’s only a few steps up & the property sent me a message ahead of time offering to help with luggage at arrival. That is 5 star service to me. One thing I regret is that I didn't get a chance to see the inside of the building much to feel the history bc I was with my niece and for just one night we had very little time in the hotel. I will make sure to see it one day to try to imagine the splendor of this place in its day. Overall, a 5 star stay in a beautiful town.

We had a great stay at this hotel. Was the room hot at first? (It was 30 degrees and sunny outside.) Yes, but it cooled down once the ventilation system started up, and we all slept well. We had a room on the first floor, and the cutest little balcony. If you're looking for a brand new hotel, this is not the place for you. But its age is its charm, and we enjoyed the elegance of this hotel very much. It was sparkling clean, and all the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. We had a great supper in the bar. We would stay again without hesitation.

Elegant hotel with beautiful gardens, fantastic location with balcony view of the lake, at an affordable price. Excellent breakfast and modern facilities all round in rooms, retaining old world charm and beauty down stairs, and still for an affordable price. Friendly and helpful made a pleasurable stay complete.

Hotel con Excelente ubicación

El hotel es muy antiguo. Las habitaciones , recepción y restaurante deben cambiarse. Está muy bien ubicado pero aunque está muy limpio y organizado no justifica el precio porque es demasiado viejo. Sin embargo nos dieron una habitación con vista al lago y eso hizo más agradable la estancia Al igual que el tamaño de la habitación es muy bueno. Pero el desayuno es muy regular Muy pero muy básico
