A place that combines extraordinary ambience, heartfelt hospitality and exceptional food and drinks
Pros:

My stay at Hotel Gerbe in Ailingen was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment I arrived, I was enchanted by the hotel’s extraordinary ambience. Inside, the atmosphere is incredibly cozy and relaxing, filled with thoughtful, beautiful details that create a warm and inviting space. Every corner of the hotel reflects a genuine passion for comfort and style, making it feel like a home away from home.
The garden is truly a unique oasis of tranquility—crafted with love and perfection. It’s the perfect sanctuary to unwind, surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful spots that invite you to pause and soak in the serene environment. This outdoor space alone makes Hotel Gerbe stand out as a gem in the region.
The food was absolutely delicious, elevating my stay to another level. The breakfast was extraordinary—fresh, varied and beautifully presented, providing the perfect start to the day. Every meal felt carefully prepared with high-quality ingredients and creativity.
The hotel’s bar is a highlight in itself, offering an outstanding selection of cocktails, wines, and delicious drinks. The bar-woman’s kindness and warm personality made every visit special, coupled with great service that was attentive without being intrusive. Whether you’re a cocktail aficionado or just looking for a pleasurable drink, this bar is a true delight.
What impressed me the most was the outstanding professionalism and kindness of the entire hotel staff. Everyone was genuinely helpful and pleasant, always ready to assist with a smile. Their attentiveness added so much to the overall experience.
Equally remarkable was the hotel owner, whose dedication was evident throughout my stay. I saw firsthand how involved they were, working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly and every guest felt special. Their passion and commitment truly elevate Hotel Gerbe above and beyond.

Cons:

There was absolutely nothing that I did not like, everything was just perfect.

Pros:

We stayed there for only one night during a business trip. It is a traditional, family-owned hotel with an excellent atmosphere. The rooms were exceptionally clean, the staff were nice and helpful, and the breakfast was tasty and plentiful.

Sehr gutes Haus in der Bodenseeregion, empfehlenswert!
Pros:

Das Haus befindet sich in einem Stadtteil von Friedsichshafen, ca. 4 km vom Stadtzentrum entfernt. Das ist aber kein Problem, denn mit dem Bus gelangt man schnell und bequem überall hin.
Das Haus ist gemütlich eingerichtet, "riesiges" Zimmer (Junior-Suite) mit allem Komfort. Ganz besonders ist das Schwimmbad im Gewölbekeller hervorzuheben, tolles Ambiente. Reichhaltiges und gutes Frühstück, sehr gutes Essen im Restaurant. Freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, vor allem im Restaurant.

Cons:

Ehrlicherweise nichts...

Pros:

Albergo ottimo sia come struttura che il personale. Però non ho provato la parte relativa alla wellness. Ottima la colazione. Anche il ristorante è ottimo.

Cons:

L'unico appunto che faccio è la moquette. Che c'è nel corridoio per andare in camera e in una parte della camera. Per me non è igienica.

Good hotel, but no a/c
Pros:

Location was good, you can go easily with bus or car, they have big parking. The property is nice, very green around the hotel. Breakfast was good

Cons:

The room was too hot, no ventilator or a/c, so bring a portable ventilator if summer. At terrace other guests smokes a lot, then it is hard to stay outside for drinks or eating if you do not like smoke.

Lage etwas außerhalb (Friedrichshafen = Vorort), aber sehr gut zu erreichen. Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel top.
Sehr gutes Frühstück.
Personal sehr, sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Restaurant im Haus zu empfehlen.
Ausreichende Parkplätze und wunderschöne Außenanlagen.

Cons:

Haus insgesamt etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber trotzdem ansprechend. Alles hat einen gewissen Charme.
