The property is down a quiet street in a lovely part of Konstanz and just metres from the lake shore. It is an old house and has great potential, in fact the photos on the Expedia site look great but they must be old and do not reflect the current state. It has 9 rooms and the staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful. However...... the hotel is very shabby throughout, not only inside but also in the garden. There are stuffed animals in the main entrance/hallway (not everyone's ideal). Our room was a good size but the bathroom (shower and toilet) very tiny and the sink in the main bedroom. It was a good shower but tight for space. The garden has enough seating and tables (all look second hand) for 100 people but the hotel cannot accommodate more than 20 (work that one out). It is very untidy and could be any unkempt back garden with hose pipes here and there. The breakfast and outside seating area is under a horrible plastic carbonated corrugated roof and grubby plastic side sheets that do not close properly. Basically everything looks half finished and done by a DIY enthusiast. It is shabby and quirky but the price is comparable to the upmarket hotels and the breakfast (okay but not great) is extra and also expensive for what you get. All in all terrible value for money and a real disappointment - we paid roughly 300 euros a night and it was worth half at best. The photos need updating and prices reducing.

Great location and friendly staff. Very interesting but quirky building. Tiny and unusual bathroom. Good breakfast but overpriced for what we got.

Excellent privately run hotel on the lake
Excellent privately run hotel right on the lake a very short walk from Konstanz and within a short distance of restaurants. The service was very friendly and the hotel tried to do what they could to make the stay as comfortable as possible.

The Villa Barleben is in an excellent location in Konstanz. 15 minutes walk to downtown. The staff is very friendly and allowed to check in early. The Hotel is an old villa with all the charm that goes with it. It is definitely unique. Lots of stuffed animals and memorabiliaThe room was clean and the bed comfortable. The breakfast was very good.

Lovely, cozy, much character, very family-friendly
The Villa has a very lovely location at the seaside in Konstanz. It is a quaint place with the feel of an old family home. Our primary complaint was that they closed down their restaurant and did not inform Hotels.com or us directly via email. This was one of the primary reasons that we booked this hotel so it was a tremendous disappointment for us to discover upon arrival that the hotel restaurant was closed and that we would have to go out for dining options which was very inconvenient as we had a baby in-tow. The refusal to inform guests prior to their arrival (or prior to booking, for that matter) is rather inexcusable in our opinion. However, the stay was otherwise pleasant. The Villa has a very nice ambience to it, and makes you feel very welcome and cozy, as though you could lounge about for days on end. It was so lovely that, despite the lack of dining we booked an extra night so that we could stay cozy during an unexpected rainstorm. The decor left room for want as it was rather a hodgepodge of rickety older pieces, mid-century modern bits and new low-quality discount shop furnishings, but the coziness of the place more than made up for it. The taxidermy specimens were rather interesting, stuffed animals propped up very noticeably here and there, but I can see how that might turn off some other visitors. Our infant daughter and she had a lovely time in the wintergarten and playing outside in the garden. We’d gladly stay again if the restaurant was open.

A characterful hotel with an interesting, eclectic decor. We had a very spacious and comfortable, lake view room. The hotel is situated at the end of a road with only a broad path and cycle way separating the property from the lake. Excellent for lakeside walks. However, parking is very restricted and mostly along the street. The breakfast is a la cart and presented beautifully at a reasonable price. A very pleasant stay.

Lovely location
Well located a pleasant 20 minute stroll from the railway station so good for interrailers. The hotel is on the lake shore and traffic free other than bikes on the cycle track. Very efficient staff, easy check in/ out. Inside, there’s a hunting lodge vibe with mounted heads of deer etc on the walls and a stuffed big cat outside our room. A bit off putting for those guests who prefer their fauna live but each to their own. Wash basin was in the bedroom rather than the bathroom where there wasn’t room and the bed was supported on large blocks of timber which my wife pointed out as being hazardous to those inclined to stub their toes in the dark, which, dear reader, was exactly what happened. The bed once had a headboard but this has partially vanished so sitting up in bed for a quiet read was not possible.

bienvenido a la mansión de los barleben
Trato amable aunque la comunicacion con hotel.com no fue muy buena. El sitio es un pelín casposillo, muebles viejos, y animales disecados en la entrada, si te va el rollo mansión cripy pues te gustará, sino, mejor no llegues solo.

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, tolle Location und ein traumhafter Garten zum chillen und entspannen. Ein Markel ist allerdings das Essen nur in Einwegverpackungen verfügbar war obwohl wir Gäste des Hauses waren, das ist wirklich schade und sollte zur Liebe der Umwelt anders gehandhabt werden. Ansonsten sehr toll!

Mal was anderes
Die etwas andere Art von Hotel: Da steht allerlei Krimskrams rum, ob dem man sich köstlich amüsieren kann. Der Garten und die Lage direkt am See sind genial. Einziger Wermutstropfen: Die vier Zimmer im Hochparterre sind sehr ringhörig und man bekommt das Geschwätz von den ständig ein- und ausgehenden Gästen 1:1 mit.

Uns hat es sehr gut dort gefallen, die Lage ist top. Um einen Parkplatz zu finden, hat der Chef persönlich seinen Wagen in der engen Sackgasse für uns weggesetzt. Der Garten ist wirklich toll und wir hatten ein schönes Abendessen und ein tolles Frühstück dort. Die Unterkunft ist wirklich zu empfehlen, da die Promenade direkt vor der Tür liegt.

schönes Hotel in einer Villa vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Jedes Zimmer ist original eingerichtet, der Park ist wunderschön und das Frühstück ein Traum. der Service war fantastisch, war sehr kundenorientiert, sehr freundlich. Die Stadt ist in 10min erreichbar, der See vor der Haustür. Wir werden bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Konstanz wieder zum Villa Barleben gehen.
