The hotel has a large plus point and that is the unique location! But otherwise we ask, why this hotel 4 stars. The cleanliness on the room leaves much to be desired, dusty already on the day of arrival. Caution is required with the showers-perilous in a bath tub with high entrance and without handrail etc. The staff very unfriendly! The majority of of the staff hardly speaks German, very difficult communication! The cleaning ladies very rücksichtlos and …  read more

In the half board was included a diner buffet. From my personal experience i have to say : the food at my university and in the cafeteria my business i like better. Unfortunately were the dishes partly also not really warm. Personally i expect from a four star superior house a) no self-service in a half board for 117€ per day and b) a better quality of the food. Also i found personally also the performance of the waiting staff not convincing, especially the knowledge of german. On 2. evening instead of the self -restaurants in the 'Seehaus' eaten.
