I liked the location of the hotel close to town and to the water.
I wonder if they could have had a more selective dinner menu. I thought that the items on the menu was overpriced compared to the places in town and by the water.

Nice but small
Great location, this nice hotel has great staff, a good restaurant and friendly bar.
Only negative was size of bed and bathroom, I’m not a fan of showers over baths with curtains, however this did come with air con (much needed in summer here in Friedrichshafen)

Helpful Gal at Front Desk, Good Location
The stay was nice, older room that had a few quirky features. The location was great and staff was very friendly. Difficult to take a shower the way the shower head was facing, but it is an old building. The pillows were unusable, they were gigantic.

The pictures posted for the hotel show a nice view towards the lake from Comfort Double Room. This was one of the deciding factors to upgrade to it. However my room just had a view from the room was towards a parking lot only in the opposite direction

Convenient to railway station (no noise noticed during our stay). Right on the promenade. Bar was completely closed on a Monday, so no snacks or drinks other than a vending machine. For an otherwise lovely hotel this was a bit disappointing.
