The view was beautiful and the location fantastic above the lake!

Isabella, Israel

Great rooms and amenities Free stand up paddle boards to go on the lake great terrace at the bar for drinks The restaurant is good but not like a Michelin star or gastronomic restaurant Make sure you arrive at the hotel early at check in to make the most of the room view and baclony and hotel activities, it's worth it!

Axellefi, United Kingdom

Very nice private pavilion with plenty of space, and excellent housekeeping staff. Electronic shutters and fly screens very useful. Being over the lake is really unusual and nice. Food in the restaurant was very good.

Lisa, Ireland

The view from the room is gorgeous and having a spa bath to sit and sip champagne in was the ultimate luxurious indulgence

Jacko0752, Switzerland

Relaxing stay in the pavilion built over the lake’s water... it’s like being on a private ship that is parked in a peaceful place. The room service food quality is perfect and the bed and in room jacuzzi made for a relaxing long weekend. The view from the main restaurant is breathtaking and the staff is very friendly and helpful . The bus station is a 100 meters from the hotel making the train station and the city center easily accessible.

There were few waiters at the restaurant and we had to wait for a long time between the different meals and dishes. The breakfast is good but not for a 5 star hotel. Specially because they don't replace by themselves. You have to ask for it.
The staff very friendly and helpful. The metre of the restaurant was charming. The orange juice at breakfast and the quality of the food is outstanding. The room was amazing. Very beautiful. The hotel upgraded us so I'm very grateful for that present and I strongly recommend this hotel.

“Wonderful place but not really value for money.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Lake Pavillon
- • Stayed 1 night
You couldn't not like this hotel, however a few things surprised me. The standard of maintenance on the property whilst not bad was not of the quality one would expect in such a hotel. My room door stuck and had to be heaved open. The cladding on the exterior of some rooms was dented etc. Given the flies and cobwebs on the deck railings and the fly screen it did not look as though they were cleaned often enough. None of this is all that material but surprising in such a hotel. We tried one evening to order some sandwiches for lunch the following day. The staff on duty made it all so complicated we gave up. However when we tried again in the morning the staff then on duty had sandwiches with us within 10 minutes - strange again. In summary a delightful place but given the short comings, they should either sort them out or charge less!! Currently not really value for money.
The setting is magnificent. The rooms along the lake have wonderful views and direct access from your own private terrace to the lake for swimming. The rooms are clean, comfortable and well appointed. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The property has an air of calm. Meals were very pleasant.

Very expensive overall especially considering there is no pool (of course we knew this), and food was expensive too. The design of the pavillion meant the air conditioning didn't refresh the sleeping area very well. The outside entrance doesn't give a 5 star impression.
Very nice private pavilion with plenty of space, and excellent housekeeping staff. Electronic shutters and fly screens very useful. Being over the lake is really unusual and nice. Food in the restaurant was very good.
