Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were elegant and the menu lovely. However, the room was a bit cold. The service was impeccable, offering room service, laundry, welcome drink, and tours/ticket assistance. The location was ideal for those who can walk easily and enjoy a quiet street. The dining experience was excellent with a European menu and a breathtaking view.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, despite needing some repairs, offer a pleasant view of the lake and maintain a charming historic feel. The service was satisfactory with convenient amenities like room service and ticket assistance. The location, though slightly distant from the town center, was peaceful and ideal for a relaxing getaway. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of fresh Swiss delicacies. However, I found the facilities lacking in certain aspects.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room, though a bit noisy due to its location near the stairs, had a chaise chair but felt less comfortable compared to other stays in Switzerland. The price was on the higher side for what was offered, and being under the roof added a unique touch to the room.
