Phönix Hotel

Excellent view, excellent food and excellent service

We have been guests at the Phönix Hotel many times. Due to the Corona period, however, the last visit was about a year and a half ago. In the last reviews, the hotel received a very good and an excellent rating from me. The Corona rules were adhered to very well. Even if, despite 2G+, an additional daily PCR test is required for the sauna area, I think it is absolutely right and important. The staff were very friendly. The evening menu has changed. My ribeye steak and my wife's Phönix beef burger were very good. The rooms were clean as usual. I would like to criticize the following: In the past, hot water for teas and cold water were available in the sauna area. I would understand the Corona-related omission if there were not still stacks of disposable cups and the mouthwash provided in the toilets, as well as the breakfast buffet, where everyone touches every spoon, fork or carafe at the buffet. Saving at the wrong end!? Still new to me; My coffee is still brought to my table. If you want a cappuccino or latte macchiato, you have to pay a full €2.90 or €3.60. Let's be honest: with the additional cost of 10-20 cents per portion in the retail price, perhaps an additional cost of 50 cents for each breakfast cappuccino ordered would be enough. I have absolutely nothing against the double room price becoming €10-20 more expensive due to Corona, but little things like this are noticeable. The management should think more about this, as they are certainly only acting from the outside. It is certainly not inviting if you are still sitting comfortably at the bar after eating and after 9 p.m. it is already being cleaned in bright light. In my opinion, I don't see any faults with the staff, rather with the management..... What a shame! One last tip: you shouldn't roll the full garbage containers in front of the entrance area at the weekend when the garbage is collected on Mondays. It doesn't look particularly inviting when you look out the window at breakfast. 😉
