Hotels in Sehmatal

"Grand Hotel Pupp is visually stunning and iconic, but the experience was mixed. The hotel is enormous and spread across multiple buildings, which impacts room expectations. We stayed in the older wing but had a modern corner room with a great view—comfortable, though not the historic style we anticipated. Breakfast was excellent and the highlight of the stay. The spa was very busy; my Swedish massage was wonderful, but the facial felt confusing, with limited explanation of products or treatment steps. When I asked to take a photo of the treatment overview, I was told not to and to simply memorize it, which felt unnecessary. Dining service was inconsistent. At the Grand Café, we were rushed throughout a short visit, including having dessert cleared prematurely. At the main restaurant, despite a confirmed window-table reservation, we were initially seated in a corner and asked to stand awkwardly while staff checked with management. Several tables remained empty despite claims of being fully booked. The food was underwhelming for a five-star hotel. Despite the hotel’s James Bond branding, no venue—including the casino or speakeasy—could make a classic martini; the closest option was vodka with ice and lemon. The only well-made classic cocktail we had was a Manhattan at the pub. There was also a persistent sewage odor in common areas during our stay, without acknowledgment from the hotel. Architecturally grand, but service and communication fall short of five-star expectation"

"Clean , staff "

"A bit old and outdated but the breakfast was wonderful. Skip the dinner, for 38 Euros per person, you can find much better food at any other restaurant. "
