Dinner
However, some guests pointed out a few drawbacks. The restaurant starts serving dinner at 7:30 pm, which some found inconveniently late. There were instances when limited wine options and a lack of variety in the menu disappointed diners. A recurrent complaint was the high cost of the meals with some finding dinner prices to be quite steep. Additionally, a few guests reported subpar service and capacity issues, citing occasions where they were turned away due to the kitchen's inability to accommodate them, even with advance reservations.
Despite these issues, the hotel dining experience overall seems to be well-regarded, thanks to its high-quality cuisine and the pleasant ambiance of dining with a direct lake view. Whether enjoyed on the terrace or within the restaurant, many guests would still recommend trying the dinners at Hotel La Paül, especially for those seeking a refined culinary journey.
Rooms
However, numerous reviews pointed out significant issues that affected their experience. Many rooms were noted to be outdated with old furniture and decor that did not match the pictures on the website. Noise was a common complaint, exacerbated by thin walls and proximity to the street or pool, which made for a less tranquil environment. Several guests found the rooms too dark due to inadequate natural light and dim lighting fixtures.
Bathrooms often fell short of expectations with many described as small, lacking ventilation and sometimes plagued by plumbing issues or mold. Ant infestations were mentioned across various reviews, detracting from the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. Some guests found their accommodations too small or cramped for the number of occupants with insufficient storage space and minimal furnishings.
Overall, while the hotel offers some positive aspects like cleanliness, beautiful lake views and comfortable accommodations on the lakeside, its outdated facilities, noise issues and small room sizes were frequent points of contention for many guests. It appears that updates and renovations would significantly enhance the guest experience at Hotel La Paül.
Beds
However, there were several concerns. A notable number of visitors found the mattresses too hard and the extra beds, especially in family rooms, were described as uncomfortable and cramped. Issues with squeaky and noisy bed frames were also common, interfering with a restful night’s sleep.
