Odkryj pobyt w mieście Gemeinde Finkenstein am Faaker See

The Hotel is really on the practical side - well situated, average standard but clean and functional - it is built for by-passers. And in that respect it is good. Staff is very friendly and helpful (a big bonus), the restaurant is actually very good and I do like to eat there - taste and food choices are very good. The room is clean, and good standard. All is basically new as the Hotel was built not long ago. My only criticism about the Hotel is that the two roads outside are very busy and there is really unpleasant noise from the trucks and cars passing by. That is especially annoying during the night when it would be very quiet, I mean really quiet - but every 20 seconds or so a car passes by with a lot of motor and tire noise. It is hard to accept that - we tried several rooms but it is basically all around - the lobby staff kindly offered us various rooms further away - but sadly it did not work. So my really only (but significant) downside of this Hotel is the noise level from the street.

Camere dalla pulizia ottima, nuove e dotate di tutto: cucina con piano a induzione anche se a soli due fornelli, bollitore, macchina da caffè Nespresso con capsule, tisane, the, panna per macchiare bevande e zucchero in dotazione, pentole, taglieri, sottopentola; forno, lavastoviglie (!!!), pastiglie per la lavastoviglie, detersivo per piatti, scottex, carta igienica, phon, shampoo, bagnoschiuma e sapone mani, una Smart tv, wi-fi, un armadio all’ingresso. Manca solo l’aria condizionata, ma per essere agosto, abbiamo dormito bene perché con la finestra aperta c’era freschino! Il tutto è moderno e curato anche nei dettagli decorativi, molto carino! In più è in centro centrissimo, di fronte alla chiesa, e dietro ha il parcheggio. È stato un po’ difficile da trovare, ma basta girare attorno al punto che indica Google maps ed entrare dove c’è un’insegna di foto, nella via della posta, di fronte al negozio esoterik! Il parcheggio è gratuito e non in strada, ma in una corte. Ottimo il servizio di entrata con i codici, così ti permette di andare e venire senza dover rispettare orari!

The hotel building itself is lovely and in a good central location. Our basic, double room was a bit weird though: a separate shower room and toilet, a wash basin in the bedroom and very little storage space. There was no fridge or coffee and tea making facilities. There was a desk chair, but nowhere else to sit. To make up for this however, on each floor there are a number of very nice sitting areas with comfy couches and chairs. Breakfast is delivered to the table on a two tiered serving stand. You can also order fried or scrambled eggs and help yourself to cereals and juices. A fine place for a one night stay and, all things considered, pretty good value for money.

I will not go into detail about the service, location, or whatever, but I will specifically target the room, because this is not worth an IGH standard. I booked this hotel, because I needed to have surgery in Villach and had to be at the hospital very early in the morning and therefore got myself a room. I will be honest, I took the cheapest room, which was the ”Cozy” and still was 135€ per night for me. When I arrived at my room, I couldn't believe my eyes, it was an adapted conference room, with a pull-up bed. One could clearly see the ”walls” that could be put away and the beamer overhead for presentations. I was just shocked. I will admit, I could have gone back to the front desk to ask them to change the room, but I was kind of nervous and tired, so I didn't do that. And it seems that the hotel was pretty much booked, so I didn't have high hopes for another room... Anyway, apart from this very weird room, also the cleanliness was questionable, the coffee mugs were already covered in dust, the spoons were brown, from past use? As I had to get up very early anyway I didn't mind the preparing of the conference room next door, which involved vaccuming and loud phone calls. If I would have been here for leisure and wanted to get a good sleep in, that would not have been the correct adress. I did tell the hotel about my bad experience and asked them to clarify. Basically they told me that it was my own fault, as I booked the cozy room and that they are indeed cheaper. After consulting the website, one cannot identify on the pictures that the ”cozy” rooms appear to be conference rooms, that can be reused as rooms when needed and have a pull-out-bed. Additionally the ”normal” rooms were just 10€ more expensive, and appear to be nice at least looking at the pics. They did offer me a 10% discount for my next stay. I gladly decline that. Therefore for all others: If you decide to stay at the Voco don't take the Cozy rooms, especially not for that price, its a scam. An IHG hotel should at least have the decency to not sell those ”things” as rooms and certainly not at this price ...
