Lovely hotel. Would recommend.
Pros:

Great location. Good food.

Cons:

Gym was not up to standard. Very very basic, non-functioning air conditioning

Some staff spent more time chatting at the bar than serving. After this was pointed out, services returned to the right level. An isolated issue.

Supertolles Hotel mit kleinen und einfach zu realisierenden Verbesserungsvorschlägen.
Pros:

Lage, Pool, Frühstück, bequemes Bett, Spa, Tiefgarage, Sportangebot, dass wir am Abreisetag noch bis 19 Uhr bleiben durften inkl. Wellness und Tiefgarage, Urlaubsfeeling, kuschelige Bademäntel, dass ich an der Rezeption Pröbchen für die Sonnenmilch bekommen habe, weil ich meine vergessen hatte, die Haribomischung am Frühstücksbuffet, 🤭😉, die Espressomaschine auf dem Zimmer, die Minibar inklusive, der tolle Balkon mit Liege, die Aussicht vom Rooftop Pool in den Hafen von Konstanz.

Cons:

Die vergammelten Begrüßungspralinen auf dem Zimmer (waren schon weiß auf der Oberfläche), die unmotivierte Dame an der Rezeption bei der Begrüßung, es gab keinen Begrüßungsdrink, das gesamte Personal macht eher einen gedrückten und unmotivierten Eindruck, bis auf die Zimmermädchen, sehr sympathisch…, keine gechillte Musik im Spabereich,

Top Hotel - Personal nicht 5 Sterne like
Pros:

Die Lage, das Zimmer, die Ausstattung und der Style hat sehr gefallen. Es fehlt an nichts, Zimmerservice stimmt auch. Der Pool auf dem Dach ist sehr schön. Auch ein Zimmer mit „nur“ Stadtblick kann man empfehlen.

Cons:

Leider war das Personal zum grössten Teil mit egal was man gefragt oder gewünscht hat überfordert, beim Check in und Check out gar unhöflich. Schade, denn das wertet den ganzen Aufenthalt in diesem sehr schönen Hotel.
