Kahler Grand Hotel

Kahler Grand Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff was very attentive, the room was clean, and nicely appointed. The only problem I would say is there was no hot water at the lavatory sink in the bathroom. Hot water in the shower but not the sink. I reported this to the front desk someone came up looked at it and said they would be back but they never returned. So there was no hot water at the sink during my entire state."
