Convenient to railway station (no noise noticed during our stay). Right on the promenade. Bar was completely closed on a Monday, so no snacks or drinks other than a vending machine. For an otherwise lovely hotel this was a bit disappointing.

Nice but small
Great location, this nice hotel has great staff, a good restaurant and friendly bar.
Only negative was size of bed and bathroom, Iâm not a fan of showers over baths with curtains, however this did come with air con (much needed in summer here in Friedrichshafen)

I liked the location of the hotel close to town and to the water.
I wonder if they could have had a more selective dinner menu. I thought that the items on the menu was overpriced compared to the places in town and by the water.

Great location and great service by the staff. Room was excellent
A lot of traffic issues due to extensive roadworks. Dining facility had limited range and was expensive.

Helpful Gal at Front Desk, Good Location
The stay was nice, older room that had a few quirky features. The location was great and staff was very friendly. Difficult to take a shower the way the shower head was facing, but it is an old building. The pillows were unusable, they were gigantic.

Short stay March 2024
Our stay was short and sweet. Lovely hotel and accommodations for sure. The service was not as lovely. Unfortunately, the staff was not very friendly at the front desk, did not mention our included breakfast so we missed it completely, and the bartenders made us feel as if we were personally inconveniencing them. Otherwise, a very nice hotel.

Great Location for Lake Constance
Great hotel and well placed for the main central area and exploring the wider lake attractions.
Check in was strange and we were advised we could only book a parking space for part of our trip but they couldn't tell us where it would be till the next day?
Actually parking outside the hotel was fairly accessible and reasonably priced so this was not a big issue.
Hotel was quiet during our stay and rooms were comfortable and well appointed. We didn't have breakfast or use the restaurant but the food looked pretty good?
Would stay again if we were back in the region.

With my luggage travelling by train I needed a place nearby that had good access to the lake. The location of Hotel Buchhorner is great for that: 5 min. by foot from train station and across the street from the lakeside with restaurants and walkways, green spaces and the lake. Yet the hotel is an updated older building with character and a cozy interior, very clean rooms and common areas, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating (when I arrived way early for check-in, they watched my luggage for a couple of hours while I walked into town, and then got a room ready early for me). Nice stay.

Etwas angestaubtes Hotel. Unangenehmer Geruch in den Zimmern, Toilette nicht richtig sauber. Aufwendiges Check-in mit rechtswidriger Abfrage zu vieler persönlichen Daten. Minibar im Zimmer leer.
