“Still a thermal hotel”

We visited the hotel several times. It is gradually being renovated, from the new interiors of the rooms, the restaurant to the new sunbeds by the pools. The service in the restaurant has also improved. The chefs deserve an award as the cuisine is excellent. There used to be two pools marked as thermal, now it is only one and it feels even the one with a lower temperature. Unfortunately, no one regulates children in the one thermal pool, which also gives the hotel its name. Parents don't know that their young children can overheat and the staff avoids this obstruction. Maybe this is the reason for the reduction in the number of thermal pools (34+ °C).

“Hardly worth 3 stars.”

This hotel supposedly is a 4 star superior hotel, but I would give it hardly 3 stars. We arrived on a Monday and stayed till Friday. Tuesday late afternoon I informed reception that our room was not cleaned. They sent someone who emptied the 2 bins in the room and - because I asked her - made up the beds. The other days only the bins were emptied. Beds were never made up, bathroom was never cleaned and vacuum cleaner never used in the room. Same for the rooms of my travel companions. And I guess we were still lucky. In the corridor of our floor we saw full bins in front of several rooms - I guess, one way or another, cleaning staff overlooked those rooms completely. On Thursday we finally received fresh towels but still the room was not cleaned. In the room was a leaflet from the hotel informing us they had a problem with some kind of beetle from the Donau and asked us to keep the balcony door closed. Well, if you don’t clean your rooms every day I imagine you can expect problems like that. On the day of our arrival there was a short but hefty storm. When we looked over the balcony of our room we saw pots with plants lying on their side as well as several chairs. Only on Thursday they put everything back up and somewhat cleaned the terrace. The restaurant was open from 6pm till 10pm. When we arrived at 7:30pm the buffet was already half empty and not refilled. Food was ok but nothing special. It was catering for families with children. Same for breakfast. The wellness/pool area was very crowded. Lot’s of families with children. I saw children in the thermal baths although that was not allowed. I even saw children running around in the sauna area. We received a towel for the pool area but could only exchange it for another one after 3 nights. If you stay in the pool area all day and you go for a swim or thermal bath a few times, I guarantee you that your towel is soaking wet. Not pleasant. The only positive were the treatments they were giving. My compliments to the ladies who give the massages, and I definitely recommend the salt grotto of the hotel. In my opinion the hotel lacks good management.
