Lake House Plön

Wonderful

  : Extremely clean, great breakfast.

Poor
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Severely overpriced for what you get. I don't think I have ever slept so uncomfortable. The pillows are worn-out fluff in a pillow case. There's no walking trails on the property, you have to drive out for this. The cafe doors are heavy and impractical to open when you are doing a buffet and have no hands (every.single.time) . Theres no escalator, or if there was, its not visible. So you have to carry kids and heavy bags on flights and flights of stairs. There's no curtains, only blinds, so the room doesn't get dark. In summer this is completely unpractical and does not support a good rest.

Disappointing

  : The hotel has no lift at all! Very difficult for persons with bad knees! They didi not serve dinner in the hotel.

Very Good
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : Friendly and helpful persinnel, location, cleanlyness, comfy beds, good room and bathroom.
  : No elevator; next to a road which is busier than we expected so there was some noise in the evening. Restaurant closed, a pity! Nearest next one is quite a walk.

Fair

  : An absolutely stunning location. A short 30-45min walk outside of the city/village. Beautiful setting!
  : One can only imagine how much money was invested in the property, but the potential of it is not being used. Hiding behind staffing problems, no care is being taken of the gardens, terraces and childrens playground as examples. The restaurant is closed. Breakfast is self-service with the charm of a third class canteen. Offers are just ok - certainly not anything good and price worthy. Rooms are nicely decorated though no fridge, no aircondition and zero chance to get a drink after 5pm (when the reception closes). Some issues with floor ledges, doors etc that would require instant housekeeping attention but little interest was shown when mentioning those.The vending machine in the corridor offers a few sweets. No beer or anything you might long for after a long day on your feet.The complete - very nice - property is managed to press the maximum revenue out with the least imaginable investment. Probably a great place before Coronavirus but now managed in a way to barely survive. Very sad show! It will probably close down soon if things dont change dramatically. But I sincerely hope things will improve as it is a great place!

  : The lake behind the Lake House was already magic. Great rooms, great beds and extremely friendly staff. It was really close to go for a beautiful long hike next to the water.
  : The room was too hot but keeping a window open during sleep was no option as the traffic was so loud. It was actually difficult to sleep, despite great beds and a great room, due to the sound of traffic. Might be better with a room facing the back and not the front?

Good

  : Location is great, also rooms feel modern and new.
  : The room cleaning service was not as we expected. Room floor was not getting cleaned or vacuumed so after few days of stay it was quite a mess and we had to clean it partially ourselves to be able to walk around on barefoot.

Pleasant

  : The hotel was indeed by a lake which is nice. There are gardens to walk around close by but the lake is surrounded by private houses. Easy to park. In an area of lovely country and walks around the largest lakes are nearby.
  : The hotel is situated by the main road into Plon and as such is extremely noisy with traffic all of the time. The rooms dont have air conditioning so if its hot you have to keep your windows open and the traffic noise is unbearable. We had booked not understanding this and when we got there the room was at the front of the hotel by the road. Luckily for us (and i mean luckily or we would have had to move hotels at great expense and inconvenience) the receptionist moved us to a ground floor disabled room at the side of the hotel which was slightly larger ( be warned the front rooms barely hold a double bed) and faced the car park at the side. This was acceptable. Be warned though that the car park also has its comings and goings most of the day. The hotel does not have any evening eating facilities and closes reception at night so it feels a little bleak. Breakfast is a perfunctory affair. Walking into Plon will take you 25 minutes and local restaurants minimum 20 mins walk close very early for evening meals. I wouldnt stay at this hotel for an extended break again but if you were travelling through and needed a quick pit stop for the night it might work.
