Hotel a little out of the center of Friedrichshafen, in the Fallenbrunnen district. I had doubts about the reliability of my GPS because I arrived in a work zone close to a vacant lot... It is in fact the area of an old barracks which is undergoing rapid change. New buildings under construction, housing or activities (including the one next to the hotel), a brand new university building, university residences... It's a bit surprising at first. Parking in front of the hotel (free from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m. and Sundays), parking meter afterwards or option of underground parking under the hotel but at a prohibitive price: useless if you find a space on the street. Quick check-in. The evening reception agent, however, makes little effort to make himself understood, both in German and in English, which is complicated with a fairly pronounced accent... Presentation of a "Bodensee card" which gives small discounts for the access to certain museums in particular, all around Lake Constance. The hotel is very new. Attendance still seemed very limited to me. Great calm in the establishment, beautiful decoration from the large reception room which also includes the bar and the breakfast room. Spacious room (“comfort” category), pleasant, clean. Presence of a safe (no additional cost for its use). Large TV screen (not used). RAS for the bathroom which is also spacious. Nice buffet for breakfast. Slightly limited variety of breads, croissants, pastries, several choices of cold meats and cheese, scrambled eggs, etc. Few fresh fruits, however. Check-out more pleasant and professional than the first contact on arrival. Center of Friedrichshafen accessible in around ten minutes by car. Public transport (bus) nearby but I haven't tried it. A preserved building from the old barracks has been transformed into a performance hall, a building which also has a pizzeria (“I Fratelli”, simple and good in a sort of vaulted cellar), a 5-minute walk from the hotel; This is practical for those who do not want to go to or return to the center. In the end, a very good stay for the 2 nights spent in the hotel. Unreservedly recommendable hotel.
