    Pros +

    • Beautiful Historic Hotel in the center of Bad Ishel.The decor is classic , elegant and modern .The spa area is wonderful, pool and all the facilities that were included.Morning breakfast was delicious with lots of choices.Great staff , location and would love to stay even longer!
    • Excellent breakfast with large buffet, friendly staff. Nice location by the river.
    • Great room, superb breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. You should make a note for future customers. The parking garage only has 12 spots. It is VERY tight to get in and out. I had an Opel Astra, which is a pretty small car, and I could barely make the turn into the garage entry. Getting into and out of the parking spot was also a challenge.

    Cons -

    • Massage was horrible, not what I booked by the older male gentleman. Wasn't even a massage but a total waste of money.
    • The bar closed early due to staff illness which could not be helped but the alternative -a bar in the restaurant was not very welcoming and staff reluctant to serve us.
    • It would be better if more variety for breakfast.

    Location was excellent and very comfortable. The spa area was very good and very clean. Also the lounge area with a log fire was very welcome - in wa freezing outside!!

    The location is very nice, and people are very friendly. The breakfast was also lush.

    9ZhuojunPosted on: 10-9-2024

    The location is excellent with a view of the river, the room facilities are great, and the staff are very friendly.

    It would be better if more variety for breakfast.

    The hotel offers an elegant retro atmosphere. The location in close proximity to the city center is perfect for those who prefer to avoid walking long distances. The staff was very kind, the breakfast generous and of high quality. I appreciated the public parking behind the hotel, which is even cheaper than the hotel parking!

    9JessicaPosted on: 9-16-2024

    Location was excellent. View from our room was amazing. Breakfast was very good with lots of options.

    Nothing, it was all great.

    Staffs were very helpful. With their advices and guidances, I managed to book a tennis court in town and played with local tennis players, which was great fun. It was my very first clay court experience. Thank you very much for making my dream come true!

    The wash basin in the bathroom is really small and shallow. Water was spilled out easily and made my shirt quite wet when I was washing hands

    Great location, clean room, garage.

    Breakfast was up to 10,30. We came at 9,30 and there was almost nothing left to eat: no eggs, no cheese, no ham etc. I had to ask if they could bring us something to eat, so they brought small amounts of food. I think that is not acceptible for the 4 star hotel. Also, in the bathroom only soap and body lotion were provided.

    8HelenaPosted on: 5-12-2024

    Wonderful location! Beautiful large room.

    The elevator was quite small, my mobility scooter barely fit in it.

    8MurrayPosted on: 4-10-2024

    We enjoyed our stay, especially the opportunity to store our bicycles in the easily-accessible garage.

    The unavoidable roof repair work was less ideal.

    The breakfast was fantastic. The room was very clean. The wellness facilitations were great.

    Delicious, healthy breakfast in a bright room. Kind and accommodating staff who were always friendly. Great location! Lovely rooms and common spaces. Solid restaurant.

    Saunas were minimized due to energy conservation, which is understandable, and for my dates the main Therme in town was closed. But as a result, I did not get very much spa time. Rather then alternating saunas day by day, I would have appreciated if the staff could turn them on and off upon request. The lower temperature sauna was hardly warm enough for me to break a sweat after 20 min of sitting inside.

    7LaraPosted on: 5-1-2023

    it’s a really nice and well decorated hotelthe fact that they have a pool and many saunas was a big pluscentral position

    staff was not nice at check in and didn’t explain anything about the hotelI’ve found nails of previous guests in the bathroomthe restaurant was a total disaster, waited more than 1 hour and no food. had to leave and eat at mcdonalds because it was already late to go to another restaurant

    This is an amazing facility with a great central location. The staff were attentive and nice.
