Gloomy decor and unpleasant breakfast experience
Pros:

The staff at reception were always very friendly and helpful. The location at the lake and close to the town is great. The swimming pool and adjacent garden area were very well maintained

Cons:

The decor of the rooms is very dark and gloomy with low wattage lighting making it impossible to ascertain if it is clean or dirty.
The really poor aspect of the hotel is the breakfast and the attitude of the staff member in charge of it. We stayed 2 nights. We were walking the Via Francigena and wanted a rest day. We were delighted not to have to get up too early as we were told upon arrival that breakfast was until 10.30am.
We therefore came down for breakfast at 9.30am. The staff member was clearly not pleased to see us. She was clearing items away. We asked for coffee and were given 2 almost cold coffees. There was scrambled egg in a cold container which had clearly been there since early morning. We asked if it would be possible to get some fresh egg but were very curtly told that the kitchen was closed.
I went to reception to ask if I had misunderstood the breakfast times and the receptionist confirmed breakfast is available til 10.30. She also went into the restaurant and spoke briefly with the staff member who then confirmed as a result that she would get eggs for us.
But what she did was take the cold egg to the kitchen, and obviously put it in a microwave and brought it back out warm, but completely dried up and rubbery. It was inedible.
Whilst we were having other items for breakfast, by 10.00am pastries were being cleared from the counters back into storage boxes in our full view, with the waitress using her bare hands instead of gloves or tongs etc. It became a race for us just to get enough breakfast before everything was cleared away. It was a terrible experience.
The second morning we came to breakfast at 8.00am. The eggs were once again completely cold so we avoided them. The same staff member was on duty and her attitude completely discouraged any questions or requests for assistance.

Pros:

Disponibilità di tutto lo staff, la posizione e il parcheggio privato.

Cons:

La colazione può migliorare soprattutto in varietà e e poi una mattina arrivato alle 8.30 non c’erano più torte e non sono state rimpiazzate.

Non sembra un hotel a 4 stelle tranne la posizione, direttamente sulla passeggiata lungo lago
Pros:

La posizione, direttamente sul lungo lago ed il parcheggio privato, recintato con cancello elettrico

Cons:

Nella stanza si sentivano I rumori provenienti dai bagni circostanti e le voci degli altri ospiti erano così chiare che sembravano nella nostra camera. La finestra della camera è molto piccola e questo non mi è proprio piaciuto.
La carta da parati e tutta la tappezzeria è datata, non certo da hotel a 4 stelle

Fin beliggenhed
Pros:

Beliggenheden ned til søen var god

Cons:

Personalet var flinke, men de virkede til kun at være der for at tjene penge, ikke for at få kunden til at føle sig godt til rette. Køleskabet virkede ikke, så jeg kunne få en varm vand for 2 Euro. På et 4 🌟🌟🌟🌟 hotel burde det være gratis, og køleskabet burde virke. Morgenmaden manglede brød. Værelserne er ret små, men det går.
