Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Uncomfortable rooms with narrow twin beds, insuficient garbage space, towels, for the included breakfast if you ask an egg they charge you 5CHF/EGG without telling it in advance. The receptionist has no time to give clarifications, he gave us a local map last day. He gave us a wrong information that costed us an afternoon and useless 30 km of dangerous road.

Great service!

This was the best customer service I've ever had at a hotel; the female night manager helped arrange our parking, carried most of our suitcases, and even helped us buy bus tickets - at the bus stop! While there were a few details, like too much road noise and the tv not working (could care less), the staff's friendliness and helpfulness made it a very enjoyable stay. Would stay again in heartbeat.

Tutto perfetto, accoglienza speciale da parte di tutto lo staff, pulizia eccellente, letti comodi, colazione buona e completa. Posizione strategica con panorama mozzafiato, che permette una bella passeggiata lungo lago verso il centro città. Ottima anche la cena, provatela!
