Overall I can only give this hotel a 2/5. Location: Beautiful but kind of remote. You are right on the lake, so great sunsets, beautiful scenery and its very peaceful. Remote - More than an hour from Lucerne driving, ferry is also about 1hr. Interlaken is about 2.5 to 3hrs drive due to traffic and small roads. Ferry without a pass is about 60 CHF round trip to Lucerne, so quite pricey. Staff: Overall: Very helpful and friendly, no problems. Food: We ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Breakfast was very good, with a good selection. Dinner we felt it was overpriced for what it was, you would average around $75 - $100 pp without alcohol. There are also very limited options in the village unless you want to drive. There is a grocery store across the street that you can pick up snacks and other things which is useful. Parking: Decent parking at the hotel at 10 CHF per night. Room: This is where the main issue was. The room overall is quite small, though very clean and well appointed. We had an upgraded room with a patio overlooking the lake. The doors to the patio couldn't be opened fully as the bed was in the way. There is no A/C in the room due to the hotel being a historic building. We stayed at the hotel in early September 2023, it was around 85F / 29C in the daytime with a humidity of around 75%. The lakeview rooms get full sun from around 1pm till 7.30pm in early September, which means they are literally unbearable from about 3pm. The hotel does provide a fan, but it's not really useful when inside the room the temperature was reading 91F/ 33C. This is a big problem as the hotel isn't a low end establishment and we expected better. In addition, as the evening comes in, there was a high amount of mosquitos (due to the lake) which if you leave the doors open, you will be eaten alive, this adds to the problem with an already hot room. If there was some kind of bug screen this would have really helped as there is no other way to cool the room down. Overall, we were happy to leave, even though the views and location are spectacular and staff very accommodating. The problems with the room are too much based on this price point.
Excellent
