Breakfast
Hôtel Eden Lake's breakfast offerings receive generally positive feedback with many guests praising it as good, hearty and excellent. The breakfast is described as varied, substantial and of high quality, featuring an all-you-can-eat buffet that includes fresh products and an excellent homemade cake. It is also noted for being well-suited for people with reduced mobility, contributing to a pleasant dining experience.
However, some guests feel the breakfast is a bit expensive for what is provided. There are comments about the breakfast being not very plentiful on occasion and a few guests noted a lack of choice, particularly in bread options. Despite these points, the overall sentiment leans towards satisfaction with many guests describing it as a very decent and complete breakfast fitting the style of the hotel.
Dinner
Hôtel Eden Lake's dining experience has received varied feedback from guests. On the positive side, many guests praise the quality of food served, highlighting the excellent and delicious local dishes. The restaurant, described as very good and featuring home-cooked meals, is celebrated for its authenticity and use of local products. The pleasant restaurant staff also contribute positively to the overall dining experience. Guests appreciated dining with breathtaking views of the lake from the restaurant's terrace.
However, there are notable drawbacks. The restaurant and bar operations seem inconsistent, being closed during key months such as July and August and not functioning on certain evenings like Mondays. Some guests reported arriving to find the restaurant closed due to various circumstances, such as the cook being on sick leave. When operational, the restaurant premises can sometimes appear uninviting and the music during outdoor dinners can be too loud for some. Additionally, the menu is reportedly limited and not very diverse, which might disappoint those looking for more variety.
Rooms
Hôtel Eden Lake offers a blend of simplicity and charm, nestled by a beautiful little lake. Guests frequently commend the cleanliness and functionality of the rooms, noting the beds as comfortable and the accommodation as adequately equipped for a modest stay. Despite the older decor and occasional musty smell, rooms are generally well-maintained with occasional mentions of the need for modernization and a fresh coat of paint.
Accommodations vary with some rooms described as spacious and equipped with essential furnishings, while others may be very small and sparsely decorated, featuring only the basics. Notably, the beds come in different sizes, catering to various guest needs, although some have mentioned that the bedding feels a bit flimsy.
One of the highlights is the serene setting with small pavilions and bungalows scattered in lush greenery, which provides a peaceful retreat. However, the rustic charm is somewhat overshadowed by practical issues such as insufficient electrical outlets, poor soundproofing and small, often impractical bathrooms. The lighting in the outdoor areas can also be inadequate and some guests reported a high room temperature and occasional discomfort.
Modern, renovated rooms are well-received, making the stay pleasant, though the dated facilities still indicate an overall need for updates and improvements. The hotel does offer secure storage and functional amenities in a genuinely picturesque setting, making it a worthy spot for those who appreciate simplicity combined with natural beauty.
Beds
Hôtel Eden Lake offers a mix of impressions when it comes to their bedding. Numerous guests have praised the beds for being clean, comfortable and well-equipped with some highlighting the excellent comfort and very good bedding. The rooms themselves have been described as pleasant and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of the stay.
However, not all reviews are glowing. Some guests have found the beds and pillows to be too soft with a few mentioning sagging mattresses which affected their sleep quality. There are also mentions of minimalist bedding and single beds that can be combined into doubles, though bed sheets were sometimes reportedly missing.
In summary, while there are several positive remarks about comfortable and appreciated bedding at Hôtel Eden Lake, potential guests should also be aware of varied experiences regarding mattress firmness and overall bed comfort.

Despite these concerns, the general consensus points to diligent cleaning staff who strive to maintain a good standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel.
