Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! It's situated perfectly, right by the lake with stunning sunset views and close to all the shops and restaurants. The rooms, while lacking a chair or armchair, are cozy and clean, providing a comfortable stay. The service was top-notch, with excellent housekeeping and helpful assistance with tours. The dining experience offered great Northern Italian food included in the stay, which was a delightful surprise. The hotel's facilities were excellent, making my time here truly enjoyable. The only drawback was the price, which could have been a bit more budget-friendly.
The hotel is perfectly located, close to everything with a picturesque lake view. The rooms are basic, lacking a chair or armchair on a lower level. The service is top-notch, offering housekeeping and tours/ticket assistance. The dining experience features great Northern Italian food at reasonable prices. However, the facilities are limited.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was stunning, right by the lake, but the hotel being in a factory rather than an old house was a downside. The service was attentive, especially with housekeeping, but I missed having activities like tours or a happy hour. The dining was superb with great Northern Italian food included, but I really wished they offered gourmet pizzas. The facilities were modern and well-kept, making my stay comfortable overall.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. It is conveniently located close to Renninger's Flea Market and offers stunning sunset views by the lake. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, providing great value for money. My dining experience was delightful with delicious Northern Italian cuisine. However, I found the lack of a chair or armchair in the room a bit inconvenient.
