SEEhotel Friedrichshafen is an absolute ****show, an unmitigated embarrassment. Take a look at the…read morephotos - what was advertised (first three photos) is clearly NOT what was provided (last three photos) - and as you bask in how horrid the room is, know that they charged €156 for it. What a joke. I was booked into a dark, dingy, poorly lit room, with a sh***y (pun intended, I guess) restroom whose shower door couldn't even open fully due to being block by the goddamn toilet, that has peeling pant on the "window sill" (to call it that is to use the term incredibly loosely), bugs on the walls, wall sockets and a temperature control unit that I'm pretty sure are here from the 1960s and/or Soviet Russia, and a bed that wouldn't even be foisted off on a criminal. Don't even get me started on the monosyllabic night guard who thinks beaming his flashlight into your eyes REPEATEDLY is good customer service, and can hardly speak to save his life, but that's a minor quibble compared to everything else that is so catastrophically wrong with this place. About the ONLY two things of positive note are its location, which is nice, and the day desk staff being friendly (in the brief time I interacted with them). That's it.

The hotel also happens to be seconds away from the downtown train station, which was a nice bonus if you are looking to explore the area further by train. The room rate included a decent breakfast and free access to the sauna and steam room, however, it did not include wi-fi. The wi-fi was disappointingly slow, which was just insult to injury after having to pay for! The rooms themselves were modest and the temperature control was adequate, barely. A double was merely two twins put directly next to each other, however, I'm not sure if that is standard for Europe. They were surprisingly comfortable given their looked. Overall, its difficult for me to rate them any higher than a 4-star, but I felt they deserve more than 3 because of the customer service provided.
