Lakeside Hotel & Spa

Lakeside Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"The rooms were spacious and the staff were all very kind and helpful. The hotel is a car ride or ferry ride away from local shops, eateries and tours which made for a quiet stay but was also an added cost for when we wanted to go exploring. The beds were very comfortable. When our Uber failed to show the hotel staff helped us with finding a taxi. Drawbacks include showers that did not always have good water pressure and toilets that did not flush reliably. The restaurants were very busy. As guests of the hotel we would have appreciated priority when making reservations for lunch and dinner."

"Really lovely stay. The room was very spacious, spotlessly clean and well kept, with a modern bathroom. The spa was excellent, and it was especially nice to relax in the hot tub overlooking the mountains. Breakfast had a great range of options, including a hot breakfast and continental selection, and the food was excellent. Would definitely stay again. The only slight downside was the £10 parking charge, although I appreciate parking in the area is limited."
