Tasty breakfast. Restaurant hostess was very friendly and engaging. Parking and Check in location was confusing but once we found it, the front desk was cordial and helpful. The room felt very authentic though a little dark. Would stay here again.

We only stayed for one night as we on motorcycles trsvelling back to the UK from lake Como. We had dinner at the restaurant and I can confirm it's was truly delicious and staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is a typical old swiss chalet with loads of character and it was comfortable, not 5 star but it met out every needs

We loved our stay! The sauna was delightful and the staff very friendly. Our room had a very low ceiling and a door that we had to duck to get through. It would definitely not suit anyone taller than 176cm

Staff is especially helpful and wonderful. I stayed in the shared bathroom single room. Very small. Heater was weak, so I was cold. The waterfront and lakeview is the property's best asset. Breakfast was wonderful - five francs if you pay online upfront - 25 francs if you pay when checking in.

It's a nice place certainly. Lakefront area is a major asset. Staff was very helpful and delightful. Breakfast was very nice. My room in the building without ensuite amenities was fine - small, only one electrical outlet for charging phones etc. One bathroom and shower for 9 rooms on my floor seems a little inadequate. A nice place for sure, but compared to other Swiss hotels with comparable amenities and location desirability, a tad overpriced I think.
