Hotel Gasthaus Hirschen

Exceptionally friendly staff and wonderful design

nothing

The Michelin quality of the meals in the main restaurant surpasses expectation each night. The half board option at €28.90 per person currently is outstanding value. Breakfast offers a wide range of fruit, birchermuesli, yoghurts, cold meats and cheeses, beautiful breads, preserves and spreads with a hot counter with everything cooked to order. Accommodation in the Stammhaus older building came with a modern bathroom and a generous sized room. It was kept spotlessly and we had Bedlinen changed twice during nine night stay. The pool and surrounding recliners, hammock and changing screen made our stay after hiking, sightseeing, cycling or taking a lake cruise. The hotel is a little back from the lake shore but is surrounded by a nature reserve with masses of fruit trees and has a traditional country feel and clientele for the hearty biergarten lunches and dinners. The hotel is well connected by bus to nearest rail station at Radolfzell with Konstanz only half an hour away. There is free parking opposite and I guess that it could be busy with dinner guests during high summer. All is watched over impeccably by Herr and Frau Amann and their family but it is to the charming restaurant, reception and cleaning staff that full marks go for helpfulness and kindness towards guests. We enjoyed a marvellous break and would highly recommend the hotel and spa and restaurant as a great gateway to beautiful Lake Constance. Flights with Swiss direct from Cork to Zürich make it an easy destination for a short break.

Very pleasant accommodation and convenient location. The breakfast is excellent and the restaurant highly recommended.

No air conditioner

Facilities, location, and staff

Room ventilation is kind of missing

The staff was incredibly professional and kind. I loved the fact that it really felt like a family enterprise, with the owners there everyday, taking personal responsibility and making sure everything runs smoothly and talking to the guests. Overall it is a great combination between a boutique hotel with atmosphere and charm and very professionally run facilities (sauna, restaurant, etc.)

What I think would make the place perfect, not just during the summer but also the winter months, would be some kind of a fitness center. The outdoor heated pool was just not warm enough, and the wether wasn’t that suitable for hikes which made us a little restless during our stay.
