The Lovely Hotel Ancora
Pros:

Location is great. Staff are very professional and friendly. Rooms are very comfortable. We were lucky to have a balcony and a view of the lake which was lovely.

Cons:

As a retired, IT exec (very happily retired) I'd say watching and listening to the reception staff, that the system on reception needs an upgrade 😅🤣😂

Die Lage ist kaum zu toppen.
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist wirklich super, direkt am Hafen und an der Fußgängerzone. Der Empfang war sympathisch und es gab eine umfangreiche Erklärung mit vorbereiteten Bildkarten, wo die nächsten Parkplätze und eine nahegelegene Tiefgarage sind. Zum Empfang konnte man sich einen Sekt nehmen, war alles vorbereitet. Das Frühstück war sehr umfangreich und lecker, die Atmosphäre des Hotels angenehm. Es fehlte an nichts.

Cons:

Zimmer und Bad waren sehr klein. Das Zimmer lag auf der Rückseite, dadurch war es recht dunkel.

Great location, comfortable hotel, everything I needed for a two-night short break!
Pros:

I didn't experience breakfast or dining as I used it as a base to meet a friend. Overall, the hotel ticked the box for what I needed and I will definitely book again - and bring family too!
