Hotel Gasthof Storchen

We booked this for the good price and it ended up being a wonderful surprise. The kids area and the pool and Spa and rabbits and guinea pigs were all awesome. The room was tiny but comfortable and there was everything we needed. The breakfast was fantastic. We decided to eat dinner there too and it was seriously so so good. I would definitely come here again. Also it was quiet even though it was full and had plenty of kids!

Overall the experience was okay. It is a family hotel with various annex buildings and a restaurant. It would probably be okay for a vacation, if the nightly rate were lower. The room was cramped to walk around in, but did have a balcony and a kitchen from the 1970s. We were traveling from Switzerland home to Stuttgart, Germany and wanted to check out the area along Lake Constance. The night before, I was looking at the Travelocity site on a smartphone, trying to find a good deal. Since it was the day before the stay, there was not much available. I found the hotel Storchen with room for two adults and two children for a price certain price. The pictures showed it to be okay, and I reserved the room, since it was about 20 Euro cheaper than the Novotel (with indoor swimming pool and modern rooms) in Constance. There were plenty of parking spots outside and the reception personell were nice. There was not much open in the town when we checked in, since we got there at 7:30 pm, and we ate in the restaurant attached to the hotel. The adult food was great, but the fries tasted off. The next morning, we ate the provided hotel breakfast, which was nice enough, even though the plates ran out and weren't restocked. The orange juice was freshly pressed and tasted great. The layout of the breakfast buffet was not very practical, which caused some backlog during the busy breakfast time. At checkout, found out that two kids under 10 had increased the price by 90 Eur. Too much, I think.

Awesome! hubbby and I liked the family style hotel. Breakfast is satisfying and the room was clean and comfortable. We plan to stay in this hotel again when we go back in the summer. We both like the Lake Constance and Meersburg is the place to go. Lovely and romantic place.

This hotel would appeal to families .

We enjoyed our stay. The hotel was very clean and well organised. Staff were mostly very friendly, and helped to cross the language divide to the best of their ability! Our fault that we are not fluent in German! Very good food at reasonable prices. We had not realised when booking that the hotel seems to specialise in catering for couples with young children. As we are an older couple this might have put us off, but actually it was fine. Worth being aware of, though, if you really want a quieter atmosphere. Breakfast was very busy at times. Internet access was given out in 5 hour password limits which seemed unnecessary and was a bit aggravating as were staying for 6 days. had to keep asking for another password code. Not the end of the world, though. Lovely walks and cycle paths running to and along the lake.
