Great location and comfort

Comfortable hotel right on Lake Lucerne only a few miles from the beautiful city of Lucerne. Wonderful views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Breakfast was not included in the room rate and at CHF25 per person rather expensive.

One of the best hotels we've ever stayed at in terms of setting and service. The front of house staff were both friendly and very efficient helping with both queries and advice. The restaurant and breakfast rooms are located in a seperate building opposite the main hotel. The breakfast buffet was high quality with a good choice of food and, while the hotel restaurant menu had a number of interesting dishes it wasn't our style of food. That said, there is a great Argentinian restaurant right next door which served a wide variety of the most excellent food backed up by very friendly and helpful staff which we would recommend most highly. Thank you Merlischachen for five wonderful days

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. The hotel has authentic decor and it even has an elevator. The hotel breakfast is very good as well. The staff is very friendly and informative. They were always available. There is also a coffee lounge that my husband loved. The things we did not like is that our room did not have any type of fan, it was very hot during the day and night. Eventually we got a fan and it worked ok. The lake access is shared with the community and it is not exclusive to guests. We paid for lake view and it was very noisy. Especially at night. So many people yelling and being loud, we needed to keep the windows open because it was so hot. Also the one day I wanted to relax on a lounge chair and read there was a yoga class for the public right on the hotel lawn where it’s supposed to be exclusive for guests. It disrupted the peace and quiet I was looking for. There were a lot of children and families at the lake and at the lawn right next to the hotel where it’s the public side. Overall it did not feel like peace and quiet or exclusive. The bed was not as comfortable either. The pillows were so flat I had to stack my pillows to get some type of support.

The young gentle at front desk who helped me to check in is very nice, very supportive and helpful. The room I lived in was a bit dusty, probably haven't been cleaned/no people lived for a while. But again, the young gentleman staff who helped me to check in is very nice.
