Hotel Schiffmeister

Perfect location right the by lake, stunning views from large balcony. Old fashioned traditional hotel with spacious room. Close to shops and restaurants, prime location to catch the boat trips on lake.

Upon arriving to the hotel, the staff member just handed us the room keys without any welcome information or details of the facilities. He just handed us the keys and showed us the lift. The room was spacious and well decorated, balcony was amazing (chairs provided). The biggest let-down after the cold welcome at reception was the toilet - it was a size of closet with mold on the ceiling. The cubicle wasnt big enough to even bend over the sink while you brush your teeth. No toiletries apart from bar of soap and small sachet of shower gel were provided. There was no mini bar or basic stuff like bottle of water of coffee in the room. No wifi was provided and no information booklet in the room. The bed was comfortable but the bed could really use additional pillows and bigger duvet. I was expecting the creaking floors and lack of noise insulation since it's an old property, so I didnt mind it that much. But I agree with most of the reviews here that the property is WAY too OVERPRICED considering the services, facilities & state of the bathrooms. If we paid less for our stay I would not have left such a negative review. The reception was run by a lady who could barely manage German, did not speak a word of English. When we asked to call a taxi, she said she didnt have any taxi numbers. We were not given any information about the fact that most of the restaurants in off season (oct - nov) close 5pm so we were left stranded with no place for dinner. There was nobody at the reception at most times even though it was supposed to be open 9am to 9pm. We had to get all the info we needed for the area from a guy in local restaurant where we went for a drink. Breakfast was decent, but the only warm food available was cooked eggs, which was a little dissapointing. Overall, despite the stunning view, it was very poor value for money and the hotel should seriously improve on their approach to guests and upgrade the bathrooms.
