Nice view

No parking on site and also no Valet service for vehicles, if you are charging 500 per night this is a minimum, also no spa facilities and rooms are quite small with no real hooks to hang up dresses. Also no welcome drinks or cold towels upton arrival. No fridge in room. Breakfast is quite limited.

Die Lage mit Blick auf den See, die Ruhe, die Ausstattung!

Es dürfte mehr Licht im Bad haben:) generell für die Damen zum Schminken sehr dunkel.
