We spent a long weekend there with our dog and are happy to recommend the hotel. The location is great with a direct view of the Deep Lake, the staff is very friendly, the room is spacious and well-equipped. Despite the heat, our room was always at a pleasant temperature thanks to its north-east location and a very good and quiet fan. We'd love to come back.

Modern, exceptional new building in a wonderful location with a direct water view. Very friendly welcome and thank you for the upgrade! A great concept - but without breakfast: Firstly, you would have a fully equipped kitchen and secondly, you can get great coffee and snacks in the in-house bistro. We'd love to come back.

The staff behaved very friendly and naturally. Check-in was unproblematic and quick.The lake view apartment was actually exactly what was promised. Close to the lake and panoramic view from the balcony - really nice. The furnishings were clean, tasteful and practical. The details such as electrical appliances, spices, band equipment were well thought out and better than I am used to in boarding houses.Completely satisfied and definitely recommended.
