Hotel berhampiran Bodensee Center Friedrichshafen, Friedrichshafen

a modern hotel with fresh color scheme in the general hotel areas and also in the rooms, spacious room with table and recliner. Good bus connection to the city center and the harbor as well as to the exhibition center.

This hotel is just fantastic. The rooms are clean, updated, comfortable and you can relax/sleep perfectly. The A/C works very well as well. The staff is amazing and price is right. I arrived very late and was treated very well by the gentleman running that shift. Breakfast was perfect. The hotel is located very conveniently and parking is free. Love this place!

Stayed 3-6 June 2024, Double Room Premium Plus Very good hotel within the heart of Friedrichschafen old town areas. Walking distance to everything - ferry terminal, railway station, Zeppelin Museum, waterfront, shops. Room was very good, large and comfortable, well laid out. Breakfast was good with a lot of options. free 24/7 coffee, tea and water in the reception is a great feature with nice relax area and also outside tables on street front. The included Bondensee card received when checking in offers fee travel - so include Lindau and Dornier museum in your trip (Dornier Museum has a great cafe and food and can view the Zeppelin taking off and landing). Take bus rather than train since it stops right out front. Easy to spend 3-5 days here, lots of good eating options and great places to visit nearby using the Bondensee card. Good hotel baggage storage so easy to get here morning.

Booked their newer room which is located at a separate building just behind the check in building. Room feels more like 30 square meters. Very comfortable bed. Do note that shower area has no door. Potty is located in a separate toilet just next to the main door (see photos). Love their buffet spread too!

Excellent friendly staff that are polite and very helpful. Any questions I had were answered quickly and comprehensively. The self-service breakfast gives you a good selection to start your day. There is a restaurant also on site, but I didn't use it. The bar was good with the barman able to knock up a multitude of cocktails, from what I witnessed.  My room was spacious, clean, comfortable and perfect for me. There was a small fridge also where you could store some food and drink.  There is car parking available for a fee, I'd advise informing them when you book, but it is a reasonable charge, in my opinion. There are also garages that can be booked, I only became aware of this on arrival and seeing cycle tourists storing their bicycles in there. Right by the promenade for pleasant walks and easy access to numerous restaurants, it is an ideal choice in my book. Would I stay again? Without a doubt. For your information, for the local tourist hotel tax, you are  required to pay you are entitled to a BODO card which gives you free travel on most buses and trains over a huge area, these are picked up from the hotel reception. The public transport system is excellent and the hotel is just a short walk from the main bus and train station. I definitely recommend this. 

They claim that this is a 4-star hotel, I wouldn’t give them even 2 stars. Location is ok, but it is old and very poorly maintained. We had two hotel rooms for our party: one of them had a noisy air conditioner, broken window curtains and no amenities beyond a poor bath shower gel, but still quite ok compared to the other room we got. The other room was at the lowest floor, dirty, without air conditioner (only two very noisy and dust-dirty ventilators, that triggered our daughter’s allergy), broken blinking fluorescent light at the bathroom, mini-bar was turned off to save energy (??!!) and door was badly damaged. From the rooms we could hear everything that happened in the parking, at the hotel aisles and the rooms nearby, so that we could not rest properly with every sound and light waking us up! And when we woke up the day after, we had to walk under heavy rain towards the main building for breakfast. Not even a standard umbrella to be offered as to avoid the guests to be soaked… And the prices are still for a 4-star hotel, which is completely unacceptable. There are better options nearby, avoid this trap by all means!

Kurzfristig habe ich ein Zimmer in diesem IBIS-Hotel buchen können. Wenn man schon mal in einem anderen Hotel dieser Kette übernachtet hat, wird sich mit den Gegebenheiten ”vertraut” fühlen. Das Zimmer war eher klein und spartanisch eingerichtet, Bettzeug und Matratze waren absolut in Ordnung. Das in Modulbauweise ”integrierte” Badezimmer - besser: Badekabine wie auf einem Kreuzfahrtschiff - muss über eine Stufe nach oben betreten werden. Finde ich nicht gut, weil das v.a. abends oder nachts eine problematische Stolperstelle darstellt. Das zur Straßen- und Bahnlinienseite gelegene Zimmer hatte ein Fenster, das sich vollständig zum Lüften öffnen ließ - heutzutage schon eher selten! Gut! Verdunklung: perfekt! Zusätzlich hatte das Zimmer eine Klimaanlage, weswegen ich nachts das Fenster geschlossen hielt wegen der Bahngeräusche. Das Frühstücksbuffet (Frühstück muss man hinzubuchen) ließ keine Wünsche offen - sehr gut. Die Damen der Rezeption waren stets sehr freundlich. Die Zimmerreinigung hat mich allerdings nur bedingt überzeugt, aber bei der heutigen Personalsituation und angesichts der Größe des Hotels war auch diesbezüglich alles zufriedenstellend in Ordnung. Es ist auf Reisen ja immer hilfreich, ein Desinfektionsspray dabei zu haben! Dass der z. T. nur gekieste Außen-Parkplatz kostenpflichtig ist (7,00 EUR), wusste ich bei Buchung nicht. Es ist auch für ortsfremde Gäste unklar, wie man das Hotel-Parkplatzgelände mit dem Auto anfährt. Wenn man sich der Schranke nähert, geht diese auf, um reinzufahren. Hier wäre ein Schild hilfreich! Zur Ausfahrt holt man sich an der Rezeption eine Münze. Einen garantierten Platz hat man bei Wiederankunft zwar nicht, aber ich hatte bei der Wochenendübernachtung einen Parkplatz ergattert. Direkt nebenan befindet sich der Flughafen zu dem man zu Fuß gehen kann. Ich wusste bis zur Hotelbuchung nicht, dass es in FN einen Regionalflughafen gibt. Chek-Out absolut in Ordnung. In ca. 5-10 Autominuten im Stadtzentrum, per Bahn oder Bus auch möglich, da Haltestellen direkt vorm Hotel Fazit: Für 1-2 Nächte jederzeit wieder!

This hotel is situated on the outskirts of the city centre, across the road from the Caserne entertainment venue, as well as the university. It’s a relatively quiet area, with some on-street parking outside but with a secure underground garage (cost 15€ per night) with direct lift access to the reception and upper floors. The hotel has only been open 9 months and you very much get the feeling that it’s fresh and new. The decor is industrial-modern but with some flair. The main reception / lobby area also functions as a lounge-bar at night and breakfast room. There’s a variety of seating options and it was a comfortable place to spend some time, have a drink or something to eat. I was staying at the hotel with colleagues and our rooms seemed identical. The dark decor theme is a bit different - the corridors are particularly poorly-lit - but the rooms are spacious, with a beautifully-comfortable bed, sofa, desk, flatscreen TV, air-con/heating and safe. There’s not a huge amount of space to hang or store clothes, with only a modest, open-wardrobe area as you go into the room and there are no drawers, only a few shelves. If you were a couple, staying there for more than a few days, this might prove inadequate, but for me, for one night, it was fine. One thing to note: there were absolutely no ‘extras’ in the room or bathroom, ie. coffee/tea-making facilities, minibar/fridge, reading material, tissues, toiletries, etc. The bathroom is super: underfloor heating (which is adjustable), a large, halo-lit mirror, hairdryer and fantastic shower, as well as window with natural light. However, there are only two soap dispensers in there, one in the shower and one next to the sink. So don’t forget to bring all your own toiletries! The breakfast was good. It cost 15€ extra but there was a nice selection, with fruit, yogurt, cereals, cheeses, ham, jams, various breads and pastries, as well as boiled and scrambled eggs and sausages, for those who like something hot. There was a machine for coffees and the quality of the cappuccino was unexpectedly good. The staff were all friendly and efficient. We needed taxis to get to an event at the harbour and these were ordered for us with no fuss. The five-ten minute drive into town cost around 15€. Check-in and check-out was quick and easy. The wifi connection was excellent. All in all, a really pleasant and comfortable stay.
