The exclusive architecture gives the guest a feeling of escape, inside and out. Besides the individual bungalows, the hotel comprises of a large lobby, which has been newly renovated in harmony with the architectural style of the location, a reception, bar, smoking room and a restaurant with a large terrace.

Reviews for Hotel Palafitte
Overpriced Intesting Hotel Concept
With huts reaching into the lake, the concept is intriguing, but not worth the exceptional price. If you don't want to sit on your balcony, you can only sit in the small outside bar (nothing special there), or the restaurant (great view but very limited choice of mediocre foods very fancy decorated). The service is rather slow and if you don't speak English, you will have difficulty ordering. I am sorry to say, but we will not be coming back.

Great service, great view, great vibe
The staff are great, check-in was a breeze, they are very adaptable and want to meet customer needs, the rooms are tops, a convenient restaurant.

Nice
It was very nice and the employees at the reception were very friendly and courteous. The room over the lake was exceptionally. The only thing is the cleaning outside. The price for the breakfast was also a little too high.

Great rooms and view
Excellent room and views! Th hotel is a bit outdated , however the view makes up for it. As well its hard moving around with the suitcases and having ladies carrying it around the long hallways, a bell boy would be good for image.
