I would definitely go again for the location and the hotel facilities- the staff makes me think twice if I want to go ag
Pros:

The rooms were amazing the facilities were perfect and the location best in class.

Cons:

The staff was not very welcoming to begin with. They did not give me any details like: where to find the pool, that we need to book if we want to have dinner at the hotel as it gets busy, the service hours for breakfast - nothing. I felt they did not make any effort to make us feel
Welcomed. A pity for such an amazing hotel.

Highly recommended
Pros:

Perfect location and gorgeous hotel; amazing breakfast and staff

Cons:

Often nobody around the reception area and some didn’t have enough knowledge about the hotel facilities or the location, which was a shame as the rest of the staff was outstanding

Top-Hotel am Bodensee
Pros:

Ein wunderschönes Hotel direkt am Bodensee. Super Rooftop-Pool. Ein sehr nettes Team kümmert sich um das Wohl der Gäste: von der Zimmerreinigung über die Reception bis zum Frühstücksbuffet. Unser „Zimmer“ war riesig und hatte einen tollen Ausblick (Villa). Die Lage ist spitze: nicht ganz zentral, aber es ist alles zu Fuß/mit den Leihrädern gut erreichbar. e-Lademöglichkeit in der Garage.

Buenas instalaciones. Moderno, pero no acogedor.
Pros:

Desayuno satisfactorio, pero los hay muchos mejores. Buenas acomodaciones. Ubicacion lejana del centro. Buen restaurant.

Cons:

No es posible que al check out te cobren el parking. 28 euros por dia. No lo publicitan. Mal. El personal no es acogedor. Por el contrario distante.
