Reviews for Hotel Buchhorner Hof

Review 1：The sound of the traffic at the room facing the lake, really should need improvement. All night traffic, gave me a bad night.

Review 2：Perfect how you changed room after my request. Perfect kitchen for supper!

Review 3：one thing that may change: the wifi connection is available only with a payment of 6€ per room.

Review 4：The staff is very kind. The hotel is an historical building, nice athmosphere, nice bar, very good restaurant at good prices, clean rooms.. a very nice staying!

Review 5：The staff stands in the entry door to smoke. The nearby stairs act like a chimney to bring the smoke upstairs and out any open window. No chance of getting fresh air in the room.

Review 6：This hotel has character.

Review 7：the hotel is very old, some room have aircondition, mine did not and the fan provided was not very efficient. the additional charge of Euro 8.50 is unbelievable.No other hotel I stayed in charged for breakfast extra.

Review 8：The location is central, good for visiting the town.

Review 9：deceitfull free wi-fi, only available in the lobby. The acces internet was extra for the rooms. No effective ventilation in rooms, lobby and specially in the restorant. It's difficult to bare on hot summers days like the ones we just had.

Review 10：The breakfast was rxcellant value for money.

Review 11：rooms are subject to one of the busiest and noisiest streets in town - very loud early am and late pm. bad smell coming from some sewer outside.

Review 12：very good location, close to train, close to lake

Review 13：There was no air conditioning in the bar or restaurant . It was so hot we had to go to our room.

Review 14：The location was great, just a walk across the street and you are at Lake Constance.There was air conditioning in the room!

Review 15：A bit musty Unfortunaltey there is a significant building project next door which creates noise early in the morning. It was very hot when we stayed and the windows had to remain open all night which also created a noise issue

Review 16：Nice traditional feel much more appealing than bland formula chains Good location Helpful friendly staff

Review 17：No AC, but at least got 2 fans - didn't really help on top floor and with 30°+ outside though. Breakfast was good, but coffee really a disappointment, e.g. almost no coffee in the caffe latte. Would've all been okay for a 3* 80 EUR hotel but not given the price we paid!

Review 18：Nice German atmosphere, super quick but still friendly staff during check in and out

Review 19：No air con in room. Electric fan provided was falling apart. No free Wifi in room. Bathroom badly designed. No curtains at all on one window and only thin curtains on the others. No blinds. The decor was dated and tired. Laundry very expensive. The hotel is overpriced for quality and facilities provided.

Review 20：Convenient location close to main railway station and a short walk to nice restaurants and lake side.

Review 21：The fitness center: -Consists of 8 small dumb bells, one stepper and one cross trainer -It is in the same room as the wellness center and there is no separation between them. Extra Cost for: -Wifi -Wirlpool Our room was cold in the first night.

Review 22：Great Location, friendly staff

Review 23：Lack of parking. Having a room next to a building site. At 6.30am I was woken but heavy construction equipment working extremly hard and loud. I had no chance what so ever of sleep just to noise and vibrations. I was not happy and had no apology!

Review 24：Very close to city and lake

Review 25：Fruit salad in the breakfast

Review 26：The hotel is quite good. I have stayed in a room that was larger than usual and quiet in the night. There is s restaurant in the Hotel and also restaurants nearby (although I did not go to these ones, I went to restaurants in a town called Fishbach). The breakfast was good but not above average. I cannot make comments on the surroundings since I was just for two night and for business trip, therefore I did not walk in the streets close to the hotel, just arriving and departing by car.

Review 27：The room was unexpectedly huge with a sitting area as well as a mahoossive double bed. Plus, as all parking spaces had already been taken, we were given a garage just around the corner that was also massive and gave us the extra peace of mind. Wifi wasn't free but the connection was excellent. Staff were very polite and very helpful. Highly recommended.

Review 28：Very small and basic single room. They charge extra for wifi, per day or hour. Large fans in every room instead of climate control.

Review 29：Well situated for railway station. Good parking. Pleasant breakfast room.

Review 30：Excellent in all departments. If 4 are travelling all rooms have sofa bed so one room will suffice. Rooms high standard and spacious. Excellent value restaurant food mouth watering. Great bar area too.

Review 31：two small beds instead of one of fair size terribly slow, unreliable and expensive internet connection

Review 32：location cleanseness great food in the restaurant very helpful staff

Review 33：A room on the top floor overlooking the railway station with no air-con. sweltering in 28c heat. If you opened the windows the noise of the trains kept you awake

Review 34：Nice location overlooking the lake

Review 35：Wifi is charged per day and expensive Parking is charged but it is secure and off the main road.

Review 64：Nice and friendly staff Feeling like I'm back home again Good location Excellent dinner and services

Review 65：The Buchhorner Hof staff were friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The location of the hotel is perfect and the highlight for me was the delicious evening meals. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to fellow travellers.

Review 66：I had two small problems, which I won't mention here. Staff were ok about it but inwardly you could tell they were rolling their eyes and thinking 'Oh Boy!'

Review 67：Location is excellent.

Review 68：Its not a four star hotel by any mean. In toiletries, only one hand wash was provided! I was given a single room which was extremely small, with no wifi signal reaching to my room (and ya I was paying for the wifi!). Had to request to change my room after three (3) days, which was better in terms of receiving the wifi signals.

Review 69：Location. Friendliness of staff at reception.

Review 70：My room was very big and nice but then realised it was next to the lift shaft and very noisy. The wellness area looked good but none of the equipment was on.

Review 71：Very close to lake.

Review 72：No free WiFi. The purchased coupon was only available per device - it could at least have been available per room. Not a single courtesy convenience in the room. Every item came with a rather exaggerated price.

Review 73：Location, Friendly staff, availability of Sauna.

Review 74：Perhaps in some future alterations the addition of a second lift might be considered, but it is a very minor comment.

Review 75：It is an excellent hotel in every way

Review 76：No toiletries provided only soap dispenser.

Review 77：Location was excellent, 5 minute walk to the train station and one block to the lake. Nicely renovated hotel. Wonderful panoramic view of lake and mountains from 4th floor corner room. Meal was delicious, good wine selections and nice breakfast buffet. Late check out was convenient.

Review 78：Nice big rooms - but they wouldn't accept more than 3 to a room. Seems it would have been easy to add another roll-away and save me booking 2 rooms. Room decor is a bit dated.

Review 79：Great location - beach/lake across the street through the park. Ambiance in the public areas is really interesting - historical, old world decor.

Review 80：small squeaky 90 cm bed, old matress, room smelled like a lavatory (sewer in bathroom in poor condition), no air condition

Review 81：The hotel is close to the lake constance and the city center

Review 82：No conditioning air in the room, just a fan The bath-room not alignedwith the 4 stars hotel No parking at all, but garage for own car (12euro/day)

Review 83：The location The building The staff

Review 84：We were the only family with children and they were shushed a couple of times. The rooms were very dated but not period style either, more like the 70's. The staff was not overly helpful when we asked directions. Parking was a block away by the railroad station.

Review 85：The outside of the building and main floor are beautiful. The dead animals on the walls added to the decor too.

Review 86：The room is very big and more than our expectation. there are two single beds and a sofa bed, all perfect. we had a very good stay that night. It is very close to Friedrichshafen bahnof, you can walk there in 5 minutes.

Review 87：People were allowed to smoke in the bar of the hotel lobby. The shower in the room was very tiny. Also the breakfast buffet was ok, but nothing really special.

Review 88：The staff was friendly and the room was spacious.

Review 89：The Rooms were very basic not sure how it acheives 4 stars. The bed were so uncomfortable we hardly slept, the staff were all so miserable and it did no seem to want to be there.

Review 90：The location was excellent

Review 91：Could not find the opening hours of the wellness/fitness facilitiesin the information papers in the room. (Maybe it was there, but Icouldnt see it)

Review 92：Authentic old world charm and fine rustic dining. Excellent and flexiblestaff. Overall a real pleasure to stay here.

Review 93：Fast wireless,excellent dining room with creative regional selections. Within 5 min. Of the train station. Very comfortable bar that is frequented by locals.

Review 94：Our double room was two single beds pushed together. Not really aproblem or dislike. But the gap in between the beds (when pushedcompletely together) made it almost not worth calling a double. Notreally a complaint though!

Review 95：Really interesting hotel, kitted out with a lot of antlers and a hugemoose head. Very nice communal areas. Friendly staff. Very affordable.Clean big room. Very short walk to lake Bodensee.

Review 96：The payment process was not very clear, I thought that www.booking.comhad taken my money, turns out you pay the hotel directly. This caused abit of confusing when trying to check out early with only a short amountof time before my flight.

Review 97：Interesting decor, such as moose heads on the walls.

Review 98：Parking was an issue - spaces available in a carpark next to a station which did not look very secure or in a lockup single garage - lock inadequate. Luggage had to be carried up stairs to reception and then down stairs to room.

Review 99：Good Location. Quiet

Review 100：There was not one thing that I can find to complain about. I highly recommend this hotel.

Review 101：Perfect hotel to meet at for a ski trip. It's wonderful location on Lake Constance is the break needed before the drive into the alps.

The staff is Very helpful and friendly.
