Hotel Bella Vista

Warm welcome and lovely room but tiny bathroom. Disappointed by the lack of view as “Bella Vista” suggested, but more disappointing was the lack of bikes for hire as advertised. The breakfast was adequate but understaffed, so had to wait ages for coffee and being a caffeine freak that didn’t go down well! Helpful reception gave us good info for restaurants and bike hire in the town centre with two free bus passes.

This hotel ticked all the practical boxes. For those with cars there was plenty of parking. For those with bikes there was secure storage in a garage along with a selection of tools and bike maintenance stands. It was well located, a very short walk from the ferry across the lake to Meersburg (well worth a visit). Also very well located for the Bodensee cycle and walking paths round the lake. The public areas and the room/en suite were spotlessly clean. The room was not large, but space was sufficient. A fan was provided (very appreciated). We had not chosen to pay extra for a balcony room. There was no facility to make hot drinks and no fridge. Reception staff were available and helpful. Although the man on reception could not be described as friendly . The included breakfast was more than adequate, a good range of cold meats etc, along with bread, cereal and fruit juice. They won't be winning awards for the coffee though - just about tolerable, which was disappointing. All in all it all worked. A Charming Hotel? No. A Competent Hotel? Definitely. A more friendly welcome and better coffee and I’d probably give it the 5 star

Although the front desk person was very friendly, warm and nice, we got the tiniest room in the hotel. You could hardly stand in the room. Very bad experience in terms of the room size. The prize for the room is unproportional. The breakfast costed extra but cheap. The breakfast was very good. The personnel was very friendly. I think our bad luck was that we got the worst smallest room.
