Such a beautiful hotel. Seems newly resonated. Great location. Walkable from the boat stop. Shocked they are a 3 star hotel. Would consider to be a 4 star easily. The pool was amazing with easy access to the lake. Would definitely make a trip back and stay again.

Beautiful view and perfect location

Stayed for 1night. Hotel is dated but the views are amazing especially from breakfast room. The location is very pretty and we had a room with an amazing view. No air con in room but fresh air from mountains and lake help.The best part is location and views. Breakfast is average, cheese, bread, yoguary, cereal etc, nothing exceptional. Parking available opposite hotel, paid at hotel but on sunday is free.

The hotels is nice and renovated. It was really hot outside, 37°C, airconditioning is not working yet due to regulations, this is not mentioned in the booking details, we had to sleep in a very hot room. They did offer us 2 fans. But they were so small it didnt help much. They are ordening new fans to keep guests happy. Hotel is expensive, diner has an excellent view but the prices are just to high. Breakfast is ok, we did have to wait 30min for some fruit because the plate was empty. Overal nice hotel, but

DO NOT STAY IF ARRIVING BY CAR

Hotel advertises "Self-parking costs CHF 8 per day with in/out privileges". This lead us (and other guests we spoke to) to believe the hotel had a car park. It doesn't. It has an arrangement in a public car park next door. Arrive back and find there are no spaces - tough. Front desk clerk suggested we use parking spaces in the road that were too narrow for a standard saloon car, then when I pointed out several spaces around their property that could be parked upon he threatened to have me towed. This was totally at odds with the previous night where another desk clerk had bent over backwards to be helpful. The next morning I found cars parked on their property under trees in unmarked bays "those are for staff only" the receptionist said, I would have to move my car from the short stay car park next door and park it in a multi-story garage 1 km by road and 400m up hill on foot as after 8am I would be towed. Not "parking with in/out privileges". Whilst I was there, at least two other guests complained about the parking and were told that it was down to hotels.com and not the front desk - yet between booking and arrival the hotel had updated the parking charge on that site and left in the wording that it had in/out privileges. A major harassment and the rudeness of the staff made this an unpleasant experience... Room OK but air con fitted but inoperative which given heat wasn't good. Room not however as photographed, bathroom half the size. Fawlty Towers experience.
