Designhotel Whitman

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Whitman. We came at around 3 o'clock and had a swim in the pool and a swim in the lake afterwards. Our room was big, we were 3 people. Nice balcony with view at the lake. Super nice with kitchen. Big bathroom. Parking free. Everything was perfect. We had dinner at the restaurant and we were not disappointed. We did not have breakfast because of the price. All in all we were really happy about our one day stay.

Unimpressed with the welcome and “digital” check in. No information on facilities. No information in the room either, nothing on Wi-Fi login etc. Very disappointed with the room. The booking I made said the junior suite would have view of the lake. It has no such thing. If I went 3 metres out in the garden, I could perhaps catch a little glimpse of water through the trees. The main bedroom was down in a dark basement, the exits/“windows” were blocked with steel coverings, would be impossible to get out in case of fire! Our upstairs room had windows out to the entrance, and as it was slightly lower than the walkway, everyone looked straight in through the windows when entering the building, so curtains had to remain closed. But the curtains were see through, making the room not very nice for our children sleeping there. We ended up having to use towels to block people from ooking straight into the kids in their beds from outside… They had made a bed for one of the kids in the sofa, just placed a single thin sheet over the seats… not very hygienic - never seen anything like it. I went to the main house to see if we could get some more sheets or towels (all of ours being used to cover the windows…), but all the doors were closed and locked, no one at any front desk to help. I also closed the front door to our building, they were wide open, so anyone could just walk in. Did not feel safe. The Wi-Fi was not good, off and on all the time, and phone reception inside was so so, making 5g also difficult. The kids liked the swimming pool, but some confusion about opening hours- the website said 18.00, other places 20.00. The steam sauna was closed with a “defekt“ sign on the door. In total: Nice location, but overpriced for what we got. Missing a lot to qualify as 4 stars. Would not recommend staying with kids.

Bis 2.00 Uhr in der früh heute Morgen so laute Gäste …, unerträglich 🙈🙈🙈bis 23.00 oder 24.00Uhr ok……ich bin kein Unmensch aber bis 2.00 in der Früh: NEIN … nie wieder !!!! Lautes Lachen, Grölen und Schreien….. Gruselig Ich feiere auch gern aber in so einer Lokation mit Feriengästen drumherum muss Rücksicht genommen werden, keine Frage .

Das Essen war großartig, selten so gut gegessen, das Wildfleisch war Zart und die Soße dazu perfekt abgestimmt. Das Entenragout war ein Geschmackserlebnis. Kompliment an den Koch. Das Service personal ist professionell und unglaublich höflich und aufmerksam. Wir kommen wieder.

Seit dem Besitzerwechsel hat das Hotel wieder deutlich an Komfort gewonnen. Die Zimmer sind schön und sauber und der Blick auf den See einfach toll. Die Küchenzeile ist funktional und gut eingerichtet. Und es gibt wieder Tee und eine Kaffeemaschine.

Die teilweise desaströsen Bewertungen kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Das Hotel bietet sehr große und geräumige Zimmer mit Balkon und Blick auf den See. Alles war sauber, wenngleich zuzugestehen ist, dass eine Renovierung hilfreich wäre. Sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal. Wir waren im angeschlossenen Restaurant essen und sehr zufrieden: sehr schmackhaftes Essen mit großen und völlig ausreichenden Portionen. Ich kann das Hotel durchaus empfehlen, auch wenn vielleicht nicht alles perfekt war.
