Pros:

Tolles Hotel in schöner Lage direkt am See. Unser Zimmer war sauber, geräumig und bot genügend Platz, um nach einem langen Tag unterwegs einfach mal die Füße hochzulegen.

Das Frühstück hat uns gut gefallen und auch das Restaurant im Hotel können wir empfehlen. Ein echtes Plus waren für uns der Hot Tub und die Sauna. Genau das Richtige, um nach einem Tag in der Natur zu entspannen.

Besonders toll fanden wir das superfreundliche Personal. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und haben uns während des gesamten Aufenthalts sehr wohlgefühlt. Würden wir jederzeit wieder buchen.

Mooi verblijf aan het meer.
Pros:

De locatie vlak aan het meer. Zeer goed goed en uitgebreid ontbijt.

Cons:

De kamer werd niet gepoetst na onze eerste nacht ( we verbleven er 2). Vuilbak werd niet leeggemaakt in de kamer, de dode midges op de vensterbank (aan de vliegjes kan het hotel weinig aan doen want ze leven er in grote zwermen aan het meer) werden niet opgekuist wat niet erg hygiënisch oogt. Ook een wc borstel ontbrak in het toilet.

Bella struttura
Pros:

La posizione, la possibilità di cenare in hotel, la varietà dell' offerta della prima colazione

Cons:

I moscerini che sono sia fuori che dentro le camere, non pungono ma sono fastidiosi. Il servizio della cena un po' approssimativo, non sono più venuti a chiederci che dessert volessimo, spariti tutti.

Soggiorno sublime
Pros:

Ottimo hotel direttamente sul lago di Myvat. Struttura non moderna ma comunque adeguata, la ns camera era spaziosa, molto luminosa e completa di una bella scrivania.
Abbiamo usufruito dei numerosi servizi offerti dall'Hotel e inclusi nel prezzo, tra cui il bagno nella HotTube e la sauna, super rilassante. Abbiamo cenato fuori dalla struttura ma al ns ritorno abbiamo potuto goderci un tramonto sublime a 100m dall'Hotel, nel punto di avvistamento dall'altra parte della strada.
Molto apprezzata anche la macchina del caffe/cioccolato/the presente alla hall e sempre disponibile agli ospiti. Abbiamo anche giocato a biliardo nella hall sorseggiando una cioccolata calda dopo aver preso freddo al tramonto.
Dopo una dormita magnifica nel comodissimo letto, siamo scesi per la colazione, anche quella ci ha stupiti.
Molta scelta sia di salato che di dolce, frutta e yogurt. Ciliegina sulla torta, due piastre per fare i waffle espressi, con nutella, sciroppo d'acero e quant'altro.
Esperienza super consigliata

Cons:

Niente
