I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with extraordinary good pillows in a spacious, beautifully designed room that was clean and featured a great balcony. The location right on the shore of a beautiful lake was truly amazing, although the cold entrance of one of the buildings was a bit uncomfortable. The dining experience was simple and good, but a bit expensive. The staff tried hard to provide good service despite being understaffed, which included a refund for a lower room category. The facilities were top-notch, with fine bread served in the restaurant.

The hotel has good facilities with rooms in two separate buildings. The entrance could be warmer to make guests feel more comfortable upon arrival. The service was friendly and accommodating, despite some issues with understaffing and lack of ventilation. The location offers a great view by the lake but is in need of renovation. The dining experience was simple and good, although slightly expensive. Overall, it's a decent stay with room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was truly amazing with fabulous views, but the separate buildings made the entrance cold and uncomfortable. The room's basement bedroom had good facilities and extraordinary pillows of the Ploner See, but the screen window was bad. The dining was simple and good with nice views, yet it was expensive. The erstklassige Küche und ein toller Wellnessbereich were highlights. The service tried very hard to fight against understaffed conditions, but there was no ventilation in the common facilities, and some higher-level staff showed incompetence.
