Reviews of Hotel Bodensee-Arena

Breakfast was good.

No lift on the second floor. No cooling system in the room

convenient to visit the town of Konstanz Room: essential and clean Breakfast: limited choice Parking: free, BUT ... (see remarks below)

This structure is part of a sport arena (the name is explicit): the reception is a small office inside the sport hall, not easy to find; an important communication (variation of opening hours on May 1st, and parking limitations (due to a preparation of an event) was sent in German, ONLY (not everyone is familiar with German!) the parking space and the rooms are not very close, and this could be inconvenient if you have to move your luggage

We got free early check in and late check out because the hotel wasn't that full. The staff was very nice and the buffet for breakfast was very tasty.

The beds could be more comfortable but it's fully okay

The hotel is in a nice location. The staff was friendly. Even thought it was written that the reception is only open until 18.00pm, it was possible to do the check-in afterwards thanks to the keybox and a code they provide. The room was big and very clean. Good value for money. Recommend it.

Location right at the lake, ten minutes walk to Konstanz train station. Free parking, whereas many Konstanz hotels charge 20 Euros per night.

The rooms aren't beautiful, but functional. They are part of a sports complex and are comparable to motel rooms in the US (only much cleaner).

clear instructions for key safe to pick up room keys after reception hours - superb location with a view on Lake Constance and just a stone throw away from Konstanz Central Railway Station (Germany) and Kreuzlingen Hafen railway station (CH) - cleanliness - friendly staff - rich and delicious breakfast in buffet style with something for everyone's taste , I personally just loved the homemade yummy Swiss Bircher Muesli - on 1st January breakfast even included a glass of sparkling wine - if you are staying 3 days or more, you might want to take advantage of acquiring the OSKAR (Eastern Switzerland Guest Card) for CHF 15/day, including all public transport (bus/train) in the 7 eastern Switzerland Cantons and the cable car up to Mount Säntis among other things, really great value for money!

I just missed a fridge (no issue in winter times, when I just placed my foodstuff outside to keep cool) and a tea kettle to prepare hot water for a cup of tea in the evening to warm up again after a day outside in the cold, but the reception provided me with a thermo bottle of boiling water, so got this solved for me. - otherwise nothing to dislike, it was the 3rd time I went to this place, I like it very much!

Location

We paid 240chf for one room!!! It had two bunk beds which are far too small for a grownup. Tv was mounted at the most poorest location which one couldn’t even watch from the bed. It didn’t matter since the remote of the tv didn’t work anyway. This is not a hotel. It is a motel since the room door is facing directly outside. The room overall looked like in a prison! I am very disappointed about the poor quality and the high price! 240chf for a room with bad, old bunk beds is from my point of view unacceptable! The double rooms are maybe ok. But the quadruple room is really bed for the high price!

The staff was super friendly and everything was very uncomplicated. The rooms were spacious and everything was also super clean. We were surprised that you could rent bikes for free and also could use the sport facilities. I will certainly visit again.
