    Hotel in great location for active holidays and sightseeing

    The hotel is in a nice location. The staff was friendly. Even thought it was written that the reception is only open until 18.00pm, it was possible to do the check-in afterwards thanks to the keybox and a code they provide. The room was big and very clean. Good value for money. Recommend it.

    Nice stay, would stay there again.

    The rooms aren't beautiful, but functional. They are part of a sports complex and are comparable to motel rooms in the US (only much cleaner).

    Location right at the lake, ten minutes walk to Konstanz train station. Free parking, whereas many Konstanz hotels charge 20 Euros per night.

    Took a while to find the hotel rooms and reception - the reception is inside the Arena lobby and you can’t see the rooms from the entrance / car park, so can seem like you’re in the wrong place when you first arrive!! The walls of our room were painted industrial blocks - would have been better with a skim of plaster to make it feel more cosy.

    Views over the lake and proximity to the Altstadt were fantastic. And running straight out of the bedroom into the adjacent park is a great way to start the day! The staff are very welcoming and the breakfast tasty and plentiful.

    Check-in location is awkward (it is at the entrance to the arena). Not a big deal, just not where one might expect. Then again, the entire property is part of a sports complex so makes sense. Unfortunately, a large tent on the grass area was being removed during our stay (we were advised of this well in advance of arriving). There was some noise and an obscured view of the lake. This was not a hotel matter and as noted, we were told what to expect weeks in advance.

    The room and bathroom are large. Lots of drawer and closet space. Access straight outside to a large green space with Lake Bodensee 150 meters distant. Breakfast was good with indoor and outdoor seating. Check-in was straightforward with a friendly and helpful representative. Safe and secure bike storage, although we kept ours in the room. Ten minute walk to Germany (Konstanz) with all the amenities of a city.

    Budget Hotel along the Bicycle Path
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    No air conditioning, which isn't unusual in Europe, but the design of the hotel means that there isn't much airflow, either. All the rooms had to keep their doors open in order to get any breeze, which of course takes away any privacy.

    Location is good for the bicycle path along the Rhine or Bodensee. Indoor bicycle storage room. Good breakfast included. A good budget hotel, easy walk to downtown Konstanz and restaurants, etc.

    Great room despite it being a big concrete room.

    • Stayed 1 night

    The room does have the feeling of an old "locker room" just because it's a concrete room at an arena, but they've definitely made the best of the situation. It was clean and room was decorated nicely. The location might not be the best, except I ended up hanging out at an outside bar thing just accross the border so it was perfect for me that night,

    Good value for money but avoid staying there during Oktoberfest!
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Check that your stay is not during the Konstanz Oktoberfest (late September-early October)! This is not the hotel's fault, but the Oktoberfest is held right next to the hotel and blasts very loud music until late in the evening, so don't expect a quiet night at those times...

    Good value for money, comfortable motel-like rooms with good wifi. The on-site restaurant is convenient, and the breakfast buffet is quite nice. The room includes free bike rental and free ice skating (while the rink is open)! The hotel is situated in Kreuzlingen, right across the Swiss border but is within walking distance from the old town of Konstanz and train station.

    The sound proofing, we were on the lower of two floors and the people above made a lot of noise and banged about for hours. This was more about the disrespectful idiots above than the building, but a soft floor above or sound proofing would help.

    Great location for the lake and the town, really friendly team and a big room/bathroom, with a good breakfast included. No air conditioning, but the room was shaded and cool.

Good WiFi. Note that the 4-bed rooms are hostel-like bunkbed rooms, but the beds were made up and linens and towels were included in the price.

    Accommodation just across the Swiss/German border, ideal for exploring both sides of the Lake
    • Leisure trip

    • Single Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    I just missed a fridge (no issue in winter times, when I just placed my foodstuff outside to keep cool) and a tea kettle to prepare hot water for a cup of tea in the evening to warm up again after a day outside in the cold, but the reception provided me with a thermo bottle of boiling water, so got this solved for me. - otherwise nothing to dislike, it was the 3rd time I went to this place, I like it very much!

    clear instructions for key safe to pick up room keys after reception hours - superb location with a view on Lake Constance and just a stone throw away from Konstanz Central Railway Station (Germany) and Kreuzlingen Hafen railway station (CH) - cleanliness - friendly staff - rich and delicious breakfast in buffet style with something for everyone's taste , I personally just loved the homemade yummy Swiss Bircher Muesli - on 1st January breakfast even included a glass of sparkling wine - if you are staying 3 days or more, you might want to take advantage of acquiring the OSKAR (Eastern Switzerland Guest Card) for CHF 15/day, including all public transport (bus/train) in the 7 eastern Switzerland Cantons and the cable car up to Mount Säntis among other things, really great value for money!

    We paid 240chf for one room!!! It had two bunk beds which are far too small for a grownup. Tv was mounted at the most poorest location which one couldn’t even watch from the bed. It didn’t matter since the remote of the tv didn’t work anyway. This is not a hotel. It is a motel since the room door is facing directly outside. The room overall looked like in a prison! I am very disappointed about the poor quality and the high price! 240chf for a room with bad, old bunk beds is from my point of view unacceptable! The double rooms are maybe ok. But the quadruple room is really bed for the high price!

    I missed a small fridge from the room, and if someone is searching for an extra quite place to stay its not for them.

    It was not my first stay but I am not disappointed this time either. The location is close to the centre, the room was clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and the breakfast was satisying. Bonus that the bike rental is complimentary and the lake is really close.
