Very authentic Swiss experience. Great hospitality! The manager was amazing and gave great recommendations. The setting is idyllic, nestled in a valley. We LOVED our stay and would gladly have spent more time if we had it. If you get the chance do not hesitate to book a stay.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay in the mountains surrounding Lucerne. You have great views of Mount Pilatus. Just breathtaking. The hotel is exactly what we were hoping for, very cute Swiss chalet with everything we needed. Has a restaurant for dining and included breakfast that was superb. There is a bus stop right next to the hotel that runs regularly to get you into the city. Everyone there was lovely. Would highly recommend and are hoping to come back!

The landscape around is amazing, so beautiful. The street to get to the hotel is extremely narrow with cliffs on the sides. The bathrooms are across the hallway. There no dark shades in the windows so the morning light can disturb you. The room keys are the old type and require some skills to manage it. The hotel is ok to be far from the city noise.

A cozy, clean and comfortable spot at an excellent location. The restaurant served gourmet food at reasonable prices featuring extraordinary views of the surrounding landscape.
