  : We liked the nature and hotel location. We went there because it is quiet and they have a nice spa.
  : They turned into a vegetarian hotel, which is ok, but the food was less than ok. Everything tasted the same, the prices are insane for what you get and the service is underwhelming. For example, I think that we would have more selection of food for breakfast in a nonvegetarian hotel as we had here. They did not even offer fresh fruit ( just some poor fruit salad). Especially with their prices and you basically have to set your own table. The dinner menu costs 48 - that includes buffet salad selection ( very limited), soup, main dish ( which was terrible) and dessert. That is the price one would expect in a very good restaurant. Truly a great disappointment. This used to be a great hotel with an excellent offer and service. The only thing that is left of it are high prices.

  : The three course vegetarian dinners were fantastic; with fresh ingredients, imaginative and creative dishes, and a good wine and drinks menu to accompany the food. Although we are not vegetarian, we really enjoyed the food (also the breakfasts, which were wonderful despite COVID restrictions) and would recommend this hotel highly to vegetarians and vegans. We also liked the location of the hotel, just at the beginning of the "Kurzone" where there is very little road traffic. The room was pleasant and clean. Some of the staff were fantastic as well.
  : Service was uneven. Some staff were fantastic, others were inattentive or outright rude. On two out of the four occasions we had dinner in the hotel, we waited for a long time to be served; once we complained after 20 minutes and learned that the couple next to us had been waiting for 40 minutes (in contrast to us, they were too polite to complain). When we visited, the weather was cold and rainy; we knew this to be a risk and had deliberately chosen a hotel with an inside swimming pool. We weren't pleased to learn, upon arrival, that the pool was being refurbished - we would have considered it good practice to inform guests about this beforehand.

  : The location is truly amazing.
  : The staff was sort of arrogant at our arrival. It really depended on the person. Some were very nice but some were not. The ambiance in the hotel was a bit surprising: We had the feeling we were at some spiritual retreat or something. Not our style, but anyhow.

  : The breakfast was not something outstanding for a vegan person but the dinner was really good, tasty and surprising. We went there because it was vegan friendly. The location on the lake is really good.
  : Swimming pool is not in the same building and you need to walk for a minute to get there. Unfortunately it was a shower and not a bath in the bathroom and the bathroom is not well isolated within the room.
