Auszeit vom Trubel
Pros:

Die Atmosphäre des gesamten Areals. Die Kombination aus alten Gemäuern mit geschmackvollem Interieur. Die Entspanntheit und Freundlichkeit des Personals. Nicht zuviele Gäste bzw. Zimmer, man findet daher immer Platz ... mit genügend Abstand ... ob am Strand oder beim Frühstück .... die Ruhe ... mit dezenter Hintergrundmusik ... man fühlt sich hier einfach wohl.

Cons:

...es gibt hier nichts Gravierendes zu beanstanden, das Haus wird mit Liebe, Geschmack und Gefühl geführt. Wer das Besondere eines alten Gemäuers nicht zu schätzen weiss, möge sich besser in einem der unzähligen "seelenlosen Neubauten von der Stange" einbuchen.

In Ordnung, aber nicht überragend
Pros:

Mir hat die Lage sehr gut gefallen. Der eigene Seezugang ist auch angenehm, jedoch nicht sehr groß.
Das Essen war geschmacklich sehr gut.

Cons:

Ich finde es sehr frech, dass beim zugehörigen Restaurant Rose für einen Besuch desselben eine Konsumation mit einem Mindestbetrag von 20€ pro Person vorausgesetzt wird. Einen schnellen Kaffee kann man dort also nicht trinken.
Ansonsten sind die Zimmer sehr in die Jahre gekommen und extrem klein. Die Badewanne ist für ältere Personen unbenützbar, da sie einen sehr sehr hohen Einstieg hatte und extrem schmal war.
Des Weiteren soll das Frühstücksbuffet so toll sein, wobei es eins der bisher kleinsten Buffets war, das ich gesehen habe und ich war wirklich schon in vielen Lokalen und Hotels frühstücken. Die guten Bewertungen sind übertrieben, auch wenn das Essen natürlich gut war, aber die Auswahl für ein solch gelobtes Hotel für mich zu klein.

Pros:

Das Frühstück war richtig fein & die Dame war super aufmerksam und nett. Am privaten Badeabschnitt lässt es sicher sehr gut aushalten!

Cons:

Der Check-In war ziemlich lieblos & wir hätten uns etwas mehr Infos gewünscht. Einfach den Schlüssel in die Hand drücken und nur auf das Kreuzerl mit den 5,00€ pro Tag „Happiness Gebühr“ für das Personal hinweisen, fanden wir etwas „wenig“. Wir haben ewig unser Zimmer gesucht und mussten auch mal herausfinden wo und wann es das Frühstück gibt.

Unser Zimmer war klein, sehr alt und heiß. Wir fühlten uns eigentlich nicht sehr wohl.

Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis fanden wir überhaupt nicht gerechtfertigt.

Hochzeitstag im wunderbaren Velden!
Pros:

Wir kommen schon viele Jahre in die Villa Bulfon und sind immer wieder begeistert, und wir waren schon in einigen Hotels in Velden. Das Frühstück ist wirklich sehr gut, es gibt Gebäckauswahl, frische Früchte, Wurst, Käse, Müsli, Aufstriche und dazu Eiergerichte und Kaffee zum bestellen sowie jeden Tag ein Tagesgericht noch separat. Am Nachmittag gibt es eine Kuchenjause. Der Strand mit den Doppelliegen ist wunderschön und es gibt eine Strandbucht mit Sand direkt am Wörthersee, aber auch einen Steg mit Leiter zum hineingehen. Das Seerestaurant Rose serviert die besten Getränke direkt an die Liege (der Alkoholfreie Martini Maracuja Cocktail war ein Traum) . Der Frühstücksgarten ist mega und wir hatten ein großes Suitezimmer mit Balkon und Ankleidezimmer, wir haben unseren Hochzeitstag mit Prinzessinnen Feeling verbracht. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, die Beautyprodukte sind toll. Wir kommen jedes Jahr gerne!

Cons:

Alles war perfekt, das Duschgel hab ich vergessen zu kaufen :(

Romantic hotel with a nice terrace along the lake
Pros:

The hotel is a legend in Velden, it is a very old hotel which gives it it's unique atmosphere. Many guests make notes on the 'outdated' rooms in the reviews, but this hotel is keen to keep the spirit of the old times (but some carpets could use an upgrade). So don't expect modern rooms. If you can't appreciate this uniqueness then book another hotel. They do have some modern rooms, the Superior rooms and this was the room we booked. Very modern, cozy, comfortable and airco. The rest of the hotel and grounds are very charming, you step back into time. Very charming terrace to have the breakfast from the extensive buffet or enjoy your afternoon cake. The area along the lake is very nice, enough comfortable lounge beds and a very hip and trendy restaurant/lounge. The hotel is located along the main road so enough shops, restaurants and bars around you, all within walking distance. The staff was very helpful

Cons:

It was a shame that the cocktailbar was closed since we were just there out of the busy season. We did expect a coffee machine in the room for this price.

Not totally unbookable, but no 4-star and need for improvement
Pros:

The outdoor areas were really nice. The main restaurant (Rose Garden) was beautiful and also the beach area at the lake was great. Parking was free. Have to add here that two members of the staff were extraordinary friendly but the rest fits in my dislike category.

Cons:

First there wasn’t the slightest bit of necessary information (where/when breakfast/ infos about the outside space and the restaurant/ location of our room) at check in. Further through our stay most of the stuff was rather unfriendly to rude (we asked if it was possible to sit at a certain table for a coffee and didn’t get an answer… instead the tablecloth and the plates were angrily removed and the lady walked away(it was 14:20 the dishes were for dinner). Our room was questionably cleaned as we spotted black mold in the shower, the bedsheets were dirty and the general overlook of the room was rather disappointing (really advantageous pictures on the website). I have to say we didn’t complain on spot as we were only staying for two nights and the hotel was just a little stop when looking at our full vacation but still we were really disappointed especially considering the price we payed.

Nicely furnished hotel but the central location didn’t make up for it being noisy.
Pros:

It was centrally located and had secure parking. Amazing breakfast catering for all dietary needs and tastes.

Cons:

Noisy room on the side of the hotel. We took in consideration that we were stayed during European bike week and there were lots of bikes up and down the road but traffic noise started early morning with large lorries passing the hotel. There was no air conditioning so we had to have the window open to keep cool. The bathroom was very small.
