Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The hotel web site featured a water front hotel with a beach bar and sports facilities. When we got there, we realized the hotel was part of a readaptation center for paraplegics and we had a room adapted for disabled. The lake is at a wakable distance but you have to cross a rail way. We never found the beach bar nor the beach. Very disappointed. It was not the vacation atmosphere we expected... Very clean however and nice food.

Das Hotel mutet er an wie eine Jugendherberge. Sehr großes Gelände. Undurchsichtig. Die Zimmer sind in die Jahre gekommen. Klimaanlage gibt es nicht. Auch die Badezimmer sind alt und abgenutzt.
