The staff here were very welcoming, even gifting our kids some small soft toys on our arrival. The room was clean and ideal for our needs. The hotel is in a great location - walkable from the train station and then from it you can reach the lake within 15 mins

Overly priced! Room is not nice at all and small. Not worth the price. Although the locations is good and very close to everything. Front desk did not communicated that breakfast was included until we asked after the 3rd day so we missed the first few days.

Hotel Glockenhof is a lovely hotel right off the Bahnhofstr and within easy walking distance of the train station and the old town. The hotel itself is old but has been beautifully updated. My companion and I had a room overlooking the verdant courtyard, so though we were in the heart of the city it was completely quiet. The breakfast buffet has many options and everything was delicious. For those who are vegetarian or vegan, or simply want to try the wonderful fare, the oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world, Hiltl, is right across the street.

This was a really nice hotel with a thoughtful and helpful staff. The only thing that I wish they would improve is making sure people know the room they’re booking has completely transparent shower/bath area. The room we had was not for folks with kids. They needed to put up a privacy curtain for us.

First off, i arrived at property in a rental car and all the check in spaces were occupied by taxis and other people, so i drove around for an hour in circles trying to catch a space open with no success. I googled parking for the hotel and it took me to the valet lot behind a gate. The gate opened, so i drove back and parked. The valet workers, who were very nice, walked me to the front to get checked in. Instead of being apologetic for everything i needed to do to just get checked in, a very rude, dark featured guy at the front desk guy demanded i let him know how i got into the parking area. This hotel is overly priced for subpar standards, and you would think they would make up for it by having friendly front desk attendants who didnt ooze with a feeling of some misplaced superiority( the other attendant, a blonde female, seemed friendly and not upset that we parked where we did). Overall, after check-in, the rest of the stay was decent with a lot of beautiful architecture to view as you walk around the city. Glad i went, now i can check off list, and probably wont return.
