The Lake Hotel is a little outside of town but the grounds, hotels and ambiance are worth the uber into town. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast delish. The bar is a great for happy hour or a nightcap. We did get the VIP drink for two but forgot to use. Take advantage of the wash service(best price of our trip) and DO NOT hesitate to pay for the thermal spa. We loved it.

Thermal Suite was an extra charge of €20 pp but well worth it for 1.5 hours. Spotless and v friendly efficient staff. The Lake Bistro had beautiful food selection for lunch and evening meal. Busy and couldn’t reserve a table but very friendly staff and quick turnaround.
