“impersonal, poorly explained and disappointing”
It's quite disappointing to travel many kilometres during the day and arrive at the hotel to find the door closed when the website says that reception is open (there is a time slot indicated). When you arrive, there are two entrances: one for the restaurant and one, in another building, for the rooms. When you go into the building for the rooms, it is only written in German that you have to go to the other building. What do you do if you can't read German? There should be an English translation. When you go to the restaurant building, it is only marked in German that you have to call a mobile phone number (nothing is written in English, so you have to guess). The number provided can be accessed from mobile phones with a German line: you still have to guess how to do it when using a mobile phone from your own country: do you have to dial the international code (00)? Do you just have to dial (49)? Once the call is connected, you only speak to one person on the other end of the line who explains the different steps you need to take to enter. So it's poorly explained for foreigners and impersonal. The hotel boasts on its website that it has a beautiful waterfront location in an unusual setting: as the terrace was closed (the restaurant was closed), we couldn't enjoy it. Instead, we had windows in the rooms that were quite high up and looked out onto the walls of the building opposite. There was absolutely nothing unusual or beautiful about it.

“Nice location, comfortable stay.”
Beautiful and convenient location. Nicely converted old mill building. Very quiet. Car parking available close by. Nice breakfast, taken in building next door. Although we arrived early for breakfast at the weekend due to our departure time requirements, the staff were very accommodating.
