Acceptable stay with some significant downsides

small room uncomfortable bed

The breakfast was acceptable.

The room was too small, it felt quite claustrophobic. The bed was not comfortable at all. I could feel the springs every time I moved (a major annoyance). The bathroom was also tiny. I was expecting more for the price I paid.

The location was perfect with boats departing for the island opposite the building. The room offered an amazing view of the lake. The staff were lovely and always ready to assist, and breakfast was delicious. Parking cost only €5 per night.
