Perfectly adequate hotel with lots of potential.
Pros:

We liked the friendly staff and the room was a good size.

Cons:

As the hotel is in a current state of renewal there are some things such as the soft furnishings and bedding that have yet to be brought up to a better standard. The ensuite was very good and the shower was excellent. The food was also of a good standard. They could do with more staff.

Nocleg w Acharacle
Pros:

Hotel jest usytuowany w spokojnej i cichej okolicy. Przed budynkiem znajdują się miejsca parkingowe do dyspozycji gości. Nasz pokój był przestronny, dobrze wyposażony i czysty. Miał wygodne łóżko oraz prywatną łazienkę. Na miejscu serwowane są śniadania z wyborem dań (głównie lokalnej kuchni) i dodatków.

Cons:

Hotel nieco prosi się o drobny remont - ze ścian w niektórych miejscach odchodzi farba. Nie stanowi to jednak zbyt dużej niedogodności podczas pobytu. Jedyne czego trochę nam szkoda, to fakt, że przed przyjazdem uzgodniliśmy z obiektem, że chcielibyśmy za opłatą podnieść standard pokoju na wyższy (z widokiem na jezioro), jednak po przyjeździe okazało się, że hotel zostawił nam poprzedni pokój, a z racji pełnego obłożenia nie mógł już wprowadzić żadnych zmian.

Pros:

Die Lage war gut. Man kann gleich im Haus gut dinieren.

Cons:

Wc-Brille extrem in die Jahre gekommen. Etwas schmuddelig im Auftritt, gilt für Hotel und Personal. Bedarf einigen Renovierungsarbeiten.

We absolutely loved staying here and can’t wait to come back one day
Pros:

Beautiful building in an awesome, remote location, gorgeous views from our bedroom window, friendly staff, good food/drinks and a great atmosphere. We had some lovely chats with other guests at the bar in the evening and again at breakfast in the morning. Would love to come back here one day!
