This is a very traditional hotel. In fact, it claims it is one of the oldest guest houses in Germany, going back way into the Middle Ages. Our room had a very modern and efficient bathroom with sufficient towels. The beds were comfortable enough. We appreciated two chairs (rare!) and a table, so that we could play a round of cards in the evening. Staff was friendly, the breakfast excellent although a bit expensive if you book it separately (16 €). There is a nice outside terrace facing the lake although there is rather quiet street is in between.

The price is a bit on the high end, but hey, this is Lake Constance. The parking situation is THE weak spot: Only 7 or 8 spaces at 5€ per night. More expensive parking at the nearby public parking. The interior design is very, very retro.

Best location for a laid back stay over in Konstanz. Exquisite views on Bodensee with an old world charm and serene location. Bus number one stops virtually on the doorstep and ferry port is a mere 100 yards away so hugely accessible. The junior suite was spacious and sported 3 large windows and a balcony facing the lake. Quality linen were used on the beds ensuring a comfortable sleep. forYou can hardly ask for more. I am glad that I ignored the set of bad reviews as most of them were unfounded. Yes the carpets in the building is old and the furniture somewhat dated but nothing that detracts from the value of the location and general service. The breakfast featured a good spread of cold and warm although service of the waiter was somewhat slow when replenishing coffee and buffet food. There is a stocked mini bar fridge in the room

A kettle and some coffee in the room would be really nice. As mentioned the service at breakfast could be more crisp.

Excellent breakfast. Very friendly staff. Very beautiful and cosy restaurant with view over the lake. Excellent location for what we wanted: opposite the lake, next to the ferries and close to the island Mainau.

Due to lack of staff the restaurant had to close at around 21.00. The place where you could sit and enjoy a drink was too small. there were only two sofas which were never free in the evening. Although it was very nice, it was still too expensive for what it offered.

Stunning room, very spacious with a lovely traditional feel. The view from the balcony overlooking the lake was spectacular. The breakfast offered a large range of options and was delicious. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Special arrangements were put in place to accommodate our late arrival.

There wasn't any tea / coffee making facility in the room but there was a well stocked and very reasonably priced refrigerated mini bar.

location and overall size. we loved being away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. it was in a walkable neighborhood and easy to access by car or bike. the rooms were well updated with modern bathrooms. and the breakfast had something for everyone in the family.

for me, the bed was a bit soft. and we did not realize we could have darkened the windows with blinds until the next morning. otherwise everything was really good.

We loved the view and quiet surrounding. Right next to the ferry which was convenient and fun to watch terrace was large, private and comfortable.,

The parking is a big issue. We had trouble. They advertise free parking onsite which is not true, Very limited parking and you have to pay. Its not very clear.

A great value! This historic hotel is right on the waterfront, with the ferry boat area and the yacht club nearby. We had a Jr suite and really enjoyed our stay. The sun rises over the lake and we watched the sunrises for three days. The sun sets behind the hotel, so if you go out to the piers where the yachts are you can watch the sunsets too. It's a historic hotel and that's part of it's charm. The rooms are modern and our suite was spacious. There was a balcony with a small table and chairs as well. Directly in front of the hotel is a park. The area is much more quiet than the very busy waterfront downtown, and we enjoyed this especially as it is peak season. The manager is friendly and helpful. She helped us with parking, which is a bit tricky and using the bus to get around. The hotel is centrally located so it's easy to get to the top tourist attractions. Mainau, the flower island, is about 15-20 minutes away. Downtown waterfront and the historic old town are also about 15-20 minutes away. The hotel is kept very clean. The rooms are clean. The breakfast is good with a fair selection. For those looking for value a great choice!

Friendly staff, very good breakfast Location-wise, it is next to the ferry that transport cars, so it is very convenient if coming by car, and it's only 5 minutes away from the city centre by bus (which is free).

Spiders, which we were told abound in the area and made us close the windows at night

Beautiful setting on the waterfront, loads of character. Good breakfast. Small but comfortable single room. Friendly staff and they kindly did my laundry with no charge!

The location is right next to the ferry terminal where there are very few amenities apart from the hotel itself.

We enjoyed everything about the hotel. Perfect location

Although I was able to communicate relatively well there was some difficulty with the menu as this was even difficult for the waitresses to explain so it was very hit and miss but we goy there
