Hotel Bad Ramsach

The common areas are beautiful, classy; the food is very good, even if we were a group of 40+ people; facilities are nice, extremely well kept, carefully managed. For our work session, it was excellent with basically no comments. On the other hand, the room in the second building was only OK. Very small, bed excessively bland, only one pillow and towel set, no soap for the shower… the view from the room and the balcony are beautiful, but it screams of cutting costs anywhere possible, a little like penny pinching.

Unfortunately during our stay the temperatures were very high and air-condition in the room badly missed. Also the air in the corridors and in the inside restaurant was pretty stale; some fresh paint here and there would be welcome as well. The outside restaurant was very pleasant and no complaints about the food. ‘Swiss’ prices. Portions were more than adequate, though. Because of that we asked for ½ portion of a ‘Wiener schnitzel’(porc) which was not a problem. The price of the schnitzel Swfr 43.- discount for ½ portion turned out to be Swfr. 5.- . We objected against this to no avail.

Stayed 4days/3 nights.Took some getting used to. 1st flr reception&restaurant are modern, but the rest was more medical than 'spa'. Not what we were expecting, so took time to appreciate. Rooms-simple, spacious,comfortable&very clean. Furniture in great shape. Bathroom had window to room reducing privacy. BUT you see balcony view, so appreciated the decision. We paid extra for valleyview & it didn't disappoint! Altho a little loud at times w/tractors,cows&cars, but it was gorgeous &every sunset was different! Even saw fireworks in southern France on Bastille Day.Nice sized balcony w/little table/chair set. Altho would welcome lounge chairs.Friendly, helpful staff.Breakfast buffet had many choices but didn't change from day to day. No usual Euro veggies or sweet pastries,but had breads,jogurts,eggs,bacon,etc. Awesome coffee machine!Our massages were decent.The pool's water was perfect.Sitting area around pool was small & antiquated but said they are to rehab.Little touches like nuts/dried fruit & bottles of their water everywhere for their guests:) Had walking paths to towns, but unfort towns didn't have much & many restaurants were closed.What bothered us MOST was 1-ripped,old furniture covered w/blankets in halls gave nursing home feel 2-no place to relax outside of room. Outdoor area had uncomfortable beach slings NO one sat in. Remove old hall chairs & add outdoor couches,firetables&flowers wouldn't cost much but would totally enhance & create more of a spa experience.

Lovely stuff, great food, the location was amazing!
