A solid hotel in a beautiful location. View of the lake and mountains. Many balconies. Beautiful area in a sleepy village. The place is extremely clean, but a little age is showing and low cost improvements. I am sure this is out of season and hotel is in a maintenance mode so the restaurant was closed.

Sheets of pull out sofa smelled of cigarettes when we got our room. Other than that, lovely place in a great location. Family room was a great layout and spacious. We had cooler weather so lack of AC was fine. Beautiful homes and vineyards nearby, Lavaux Pass provided was greatly appreciated.

STUNNING views

The hotel couldn't be in a more beautiful location. The view from our room was STUNNING! The room itself was large, the bathroom was nice and there was plenty of space. The room was very warm, but we were able to open the window and it cooled down quickly. My only note (not a complaint, because this is really just a preference) is that the beds were hard...VERY HARD. Worth a stay!

The view of the lake was to die for. The room as well as the whole hotel was recently renovated and had all the amenities one needs. However the room can get quite hot so wear just a tshirt when you go to bed. Finally kindly notice that there is no reception operating after 11:00 pm, so make sure that you know how to collect your room keys from the safety boxes at the entrance after 11:00 pm.

Great view of the lake

The location is great. Is best to get a lake view room. The staffs are friendly too. The room is spacious and clean. There is no fridge in the room. In hot summer days it gets really warm inside, there is no aircondition unit but they provide a fan for everyone in the room. So if you are sensitive to heat maybe in july is not a good time to stay here. other than that there is nothing wrong about the hotel.

Nice views ans friendly staff. Hotel apparently had a pre- booked wedding so no available facilities such as a bar or restaurant were not available - only vending machine. Then the room had no tea/ coffee condiments and the shower flooded into the room.

The hotels states both online as well as in the booklet they offer in the room that the bar and restaurant is open every day from April. The restaurant was not open, no bar and the door locks at 7pm or at least they did today when I returned from my meetings. Great location but don't expect to much and plan to eat somewhere else before returning to the hotel.

I chose Hotel Prealpina because it is away from the busyness of the city, I needed some peace and quiet and wanted to experience a village stay. I could not be more pleased with my selection! The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. The dinner and breakfast options were satisfying. Now, the highlight of my stay, THE AMAZING VIEWS from my in-room balcony. I appreciated the opportunity to simply sit with my thoughts and write a few chapters to a new book. Treat yourself to a stay at HP! You wont regret this selection. #hiddengem

Charming weekend retreat

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful hotel nestled amidst the picturesque vineyards near Lausanne and Montreux. The setting is truly idyllic, offering stunning views that take your breath away. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making the stay all the more enjoyable. Breakfasts overlooking the serene lake were a highlight, providing a tranquil start to each day. As you drive up, you’re met with the delightful company of chickens and goats, adding a touch of rural charm to the experience. It’s a heartwarming sight that sets the tone for a relaxing stay. The hotel’s location is a dream for wine enthusiasts, surrounded by numerous vineyards to explore. The easy access to both Lausanne and Montreux made day trips a breeze, offering a taste of city life amidst the serene countryside. One minor point of improvement would be the pillows, which were a bit on the uncomfortable side. Having a few extra options would greatly enhance the sleeping experience. Overall, this hotel offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, warm hospitality, and convenient access to nearby attractions. It’s a gem for those seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of Switzerland’s wine country.
