Fantastic Lakeside Stay!

generous breakfasthelpful stafflake view
The room I had was a Double or Twin Room Lake View and it featured AMAZING views! The room was well-appointed. Breakfast was generous and had many options including bread, cheese, meat, fruit and yogurt. The staff was very helpful when I needed information.
The room decor felt slightly dated.

The hotel provides access to a swimming pool at a nearby partner hotel. The hotel is located near the main square and ferry terminal. I found the hotel to be very clean and located right in the center of town.
Service
10/10
The staff members were friendly and always ready to help with requests. They acted promptly and gave copious amounts of cleaner to fix a smell reported to management. The breakfast room overlooks the lake. Such a great way to start the day!

The breakfast was acceptable.
The bathroom was not clean at all. I found faeces on the bidet. The shower basin did not drain properly, which resulted in water accumulation. I found the condition inexcusable!!!
