Check-in experience shortly after 4:00p, although automated by two machines, was very difficult. During check-in, my machine crashed after taking payment but before key cards were issued, and became unusable.. Although a support number was found outside, phone support had ended at 4:00p (check-in was 3:00p-6:00a). Since no one answered, I sent an email. By trying a second machine, I finally obtained a key card at 4:45p. After going out to dinner, I received a call that my key cards wouldn’t work upon return. I was asked to re-register and assured I would not be charged twice. I WAS charged twice and ask that my second charge be refunded. Our room was stifling hot all night with no fan or AC in the room, and windows would only partially open. Luckily, the staff person added us for breakfast since we had prepaid for it. A friend who was also checking-in with me submitted a review of our frustrations. And then received a very hostile email in reply blaming us for being 'aggressive' with the machines. As each of us are 35 year career computer engineers, we rebut the accusation.

Excellent location. Walking about 15 min on the same street to City Center. Quiet place. Very clean. The place had everything we needed for our trip, including kitchen utensils. Everything we did was via machines and we did not meet a single person. It was a bit weird but everything worked out. The check-in machine on the right did not have the letter "D" so that was a problem.

Comfortable appartement in central location
I stayed two nights at the appartment hotel. It was easy to check-in through their computers. I needed my credit card to pay for a local tax.The appartment was cosy, the small kitchenette was very useful so I could prepare some food myself. The mattress was comfortable. It is about 10 minutes walk to the old town in Konstanz, which was very convenient. The only thing was that the red long hair carpet/rug was not the most clean one. When I mentioned it to the receptionist at check-out he told me that they are already planning to replace the carpets, so this issue should be solved in future.

Good choice for staying in Konstanz
While I'm not crazy about hotels with automated front desks, I really did like this place when I got inside. It's clean and up to date and on a quiet side street. It's also within walking distance of the historic downtown and Lake Constance.

for the price you can't beat it, it is a 20 min walk to the center but safe area so no worries, nothing really around the hotel itself but the price reflects that

2001 A Space Odyssey
I suppose this is the future of mid-range hotels. The room was large, modern and with a balcony. (No filters for the coffee maker though!) Check-in was all done through an automatic kiosk; no human contact. In fact, except for checking out, when there was someone at the desk who called us a cab, we did not see another human being associated with the hotel in three days. I felt a little like the astronaut in 2001, a Space Odyssey, dealing with HAL. I imagine that younger guests might not feel as strange. It was a moderate walk from the Altstadt, but the actual neighborhood, although not unattractive, seemed pretty sterile.

Worst place ever
This was a dissapointing stay. When I went to check in, the kiosk that they have couldnt find my reservation. We spent the best part of an hour trying to get our room. I finally broke down and tried to pay for a different room that they had available even though it was just a single bed. There isnt anybody to help or answer the phone for help. Once I got the key for that room, I tried one more time for the reservation that I had made and it finally showed and got the key for that. The next morning the front desk was open and I told them what had happened. They offered no solution and said someone would be in touch with me. After not hearing anything, I made email attempt and phone calls but nothing again. I am dissapointed in this place and would never stay here again or recomment it to anyone

very interesting hotel apartment
it is actually an apartment complex, with automated check-in kiosk. No staff before 7am and after 11am. So it is important to read the Hotel Guides in your language right by the vending machines. Room is clean, with kitchen, so would be good if you stay for few days. A bit far to walk from the train station, but not too bad. I only stayed one night, so I did not get to meet any of the hotel staffs.

Good value but extremely rude staff member.
This was my second stay with them so I knew what to expect in terms of value/neighborhood etc. It offers a very good value of having an apartment at the price of a tiny hotel room. However on this occasion, I was rudely shocked by the behaviour of the staff members. I was having trouble with my wifi network INSIDE my room so I went to the reception to tell them about it. My expectation was that its probably a simple matter of adding one wifi booster adapter in my room and it would be done. But I was shocked by the level of rudeness of the staff member on duty. Using his Iphone, he checked the wifi outside my room and said since everything was working fine on his phone, the problem was with my phone. I said the problem is INSIDE the room and doesnt help if it works outside. I asked for the complaint book which he said they didnt have; I asked for his supervisor's phone number to which he said hes on vacation and not reachable. Then he told me on my face that if I have a problem, I should check out and find some other place to stay! What should have been a simple request was handled in such a rude manner. The sad part is that even in the email that I wrote later on was ignored completely. I know you can't judge a place by the behavior of one bad apple but it was shocking to me that the individual thinks he can treat guests so badly apparently with no consequences.

Good value but away from old town of Konstanz
Good apartment-hotel at good value. However it is some way off from the old town area. So be prepared to walk quite a bit to get to wherever you need to go. It comes at a very good value compared to staying in a hotel. Has a reasonably well-equipped kitchen in case you plan to cook. The small apartment is too small (no bigger than a regular hotel room). Hence I would recommend that you choose one of the bigger options.

It isn't a "hotel"
The former Ritz Carlton President, Horst Schulze, defined excellent hotels as offering excellent service. Well service is what Boardinghouse HOME is lacking, and not as a metaphor: they just don't offer service by default It is by their own definition a home away from home: you get a nice apartment but not any service: the reception works between 7 am to 11 am, and after that there is nobody there. Need extra towel? you have to pay for it. Cleaning the room? Please pay. It is ok to offer such a boarding house but you cannot pretend to be a hotel. This is misleading! And you cannot ask for for the same price as the full service hotels it the surroundings. There's no justification for that price.

Clean, comfortable and spacious
I stayed here for one night during a weekend visit to Konstanz. Probably the cleanest hotel room I've ever stayed in. Very spacious and comfortable. It would be a great spot for a couple staying a few nights. The hotel is well marked and though it's a bit out of the city center, it's an easy 10 minute walk and definitely worth it to avoid the high costs of the other hotels. The breakfast is an additional 10 euros and it's a nice spread, complete with a basket of warm bread, a great coffee machine, and fresh fruit you can take with you for your day. Be advised (and the hotel is up front about this), the reception is only staffed each morning until 11am. You will check in at a kiosk - not a problem if everything is in order, but I had a credit card issue and later ran into a couple who could not find their name in the system despite having a reservation. There is no after hours number to call. The only other drawback is thin walls - you can hear folks in the stairwells and outside. The neighborhood, however, was quiet after dark and I only heard a couple of people in the morning. I still got a great night's rest. I traveled alone and felt safe in the room. I would definitely stay there again and recommend this hotel to weekend travelers to Lake Constance.

Nice place, residential neighborhood
The place itself is shiny and new and is run with some style. It straddles the hotel and long-term stay sectors. Kitchenette was very sufficient for two people for breakfast/lunch but not dinner (fridge, microwave, toaster, water kettle, sink, plates/glasses/utensils, but no stove or pots/pans and NO table to eat at - only a tiny and awkwardly located high table with two barstools). Location is curious - deep in a modest residential neighborhood, 5-10 minute walk from groceries, bakery or oldtown area. Small double bed, not queen. We were happy - but felt a bit like we were floating in a neutral zone.

Located a bit off the beaten path, but not too far away from the old city. About 10 minutes walking; 20 minutes from the main station, or a reasonable 6€ taxi. The room was immaculate and the kitchenette area well appointed, but only used for morning coffee. Many great restaurants to discover in Konstanz. Wi-fi worked well.

It is good
This is a fully automated self check in only change the sheets/towels (unless otherwise requested/paid for) once a week hotel/boarding house. But for that you get a generous well appointed and very clean room, wifi, a good bathroom and a cupboard kitchenette, all at a very reasonable price. In my view it covers all the required bases and does so well. Short walk to the old town and some surprisingly decent neighbourhood restaurants not far.

First, the automated check-in was excellent being that my fiance and I checked in late in the evening. The room was very clean and organized. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with all the appliances needed if one wanted to cook a meal. This is a modern stay in an old town. We enjoyed staying here very much and will stay here again if we return to Konstanz!

Convenient location, great amenities
Location, price, ability to check in at a machine 24/7 was wonderful, along with the room being more of an apartment with a furnished kitchen for cooking. Definitely a good choice. The only short side is there is no one at the reception desk most of the time - only from 7-11 a.m. so if you have problems, it's a bigger problem.

It was awesome! Husband and I were pleasantly surprised. It's a modern hotel within walking distance of of the lake and other tourist places. When I saying walking, I mean bring your walking shoes. Only down size, no fans! This is Europe people, that means you're usually not going to get air conditioning in buildings, so you would think they would have fans in the rooms for the summer. Nope. Other than that, you got a kitchenette, sitting area and a patio for a low price. There is also a café at the corner but it was just our lock they decided to go on vacation the next day.

quiet efficient hotel
Very quiet clean hotel. I have stayed once before. Perhaps some attention to small details would bring rating to excellent. For example: there was no electrical socket anywhere near the desk so computer operation was difficult; no bedside lamp on one side of the bed; the shower flooded with every use because of a faulty seal leading to water cascading through the bathroom to the lounge every time we used the shower. There was no cloth provided in the kitchen. But overall good experience. Very helpful concierge at reception with advice.
