Not terrible but not great either
Pros:

Amazing location, beautiful views. Especially loved the breakfast on the terrace with a fantastic view. Great parking, lots of space. Big room. Great atmosphere. Good soundproofing, rested quite well.

Cons:

Everything felt old and cheap. The room's door had tiny holes in it, everything felt used (obviously, it's a hotel, but it felt that the basic maintenance was done in 80s). Could be a luxurious or at least premium experience if they put a little work and investment in it. Such a shame.

The A/C was not working, and I had to ask in the reception to activate it. Lots of beautiful spaces for bar or restaurant, but none of them were used on my stay. There were no restaurant or bar working, even though there were plenty of tables.

The breakfast selection was poor, there were no clean knives either.

They also don't have the safe boxes in the rooms, which would probably be fine. But there were so many posters with the information that the hotel is not responsible for the missing items, I started feel unsafe by seeing them everywhere.

Bad customer service , not allowing cancellation if the restaurant facilities are not available
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

After I had booked the hotel emailed me to say that the restaurant facilities were not available to me for my stay , this was a key point for me so I immediately emailed back to request cancellation and had to book in at another hotel due to the lack of facilities and they never responded but still took payment of £230 p/nt for my 1 night stay

Pros:

Hotel předčil očekávání, nádherné výhledy, hezky situovaný bazen. Pokoje menší, ale nevadí. Hotel je opravdu starší, ale má to své kouzlo. Pěšky kousek do města, jen k jezeru nevede přímá cesta.

Nel complesso soggiorno piacevole
Pros:

Hotel con splendida vista lago, personale gentile

Cons:

Struttura bella ma molto datata. Migliorabili alcuni dettagli, come la presenza di una bottiglia d’acqua e del kit di cortesia in camera, il soffione della doccia e l’insonorizzazione della porta rispetto ai rumori del corridoio. Prezzo troppo alto per le camere che danno sulla strada.
