Hotel Pestalozzi made our trip! The breakfast is so convenient and good. Staff answered so many of our questions (posted mail, gave us recommendations and directions, etc.). It’s central to so many things, and we could see the lake from our room. Fantastic hotel!

It was ok, but not more. Feels more run down than it is. The House has Lots of charm, the rooms- not so. No duvet, just a thin blanket (with holes)it’s reasonable in Price and I liked the central Location. My verdict: it needs much more love and engagement. Staff at the reception was excellent. I will not go back.

Hotel Petalozzi was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. The rooms were large, modern and well appointed. It was very hot and humid when we arrived so we were very thankful for the air conditioning! The hotel is close to everything yet not directly in center which is nice. The staff was friendly and efficient.
