Becozy du Lac Self-Check in Hotel Riviera Edition

What a mess this hotel is arrived in room 304 NO toilet seat NO coffee cups NO shower hook and a leaking sink bathroom like a swimming pool. After complaining we were offered another room past midnight too late to switch as all unpacked. Despite many exchanges with THE management they refused to give a good will gesture of a few euros unbelievable NEVER go here unless you want an unpleasant experience

** AVOID AT ALL COSTS ** our room STUNK of **** you could even smell it outside of the room, we found a NEEDLE on the desk along with **** in the drawer, we were moved to another room which we then found that the door didn’t lock, luckily we were staying with friends and able to leave our belongings in their room but had we been travelling alone this would have been a serious issue. The service and “cleaning” standards are seriously lacking, would not recommend or return, save your money

My son and I were interrailling and stayed here at the start of our travels for 2 nights. The hotel has changed hands and is now a becozy self check in. The downstairs lounge has comfy sofas, somewhere to eat your own food and a microwave to heat your food in. It's funky, i like it.... there's no bar anymore and no restaurant but it feels relaxed and you can come and go. The rooms were warm at night but there was a fine and it did the trick. On the return leg of the interrail we booked again as we wanted to swim in the lake. There is a fantastic protected building (baden?) 100 years old that has recently been renovated and you can swim from there, showers, changing rooms, diving boards. At the moment it's free but a possible charge next year There's a market on Saturday in the town. The piped music in the hotel gives it a slight "tales of the unexpected" vibe but o really like it and I'd come again. It's weirdly cool.

This is a self check in hotel. Codes came via email and I had no trouble getting into hotel or my room. The room was clean and the water was hot. Bedding and towels were fine. My tip would be not to have a lake view room because the trains are very noisy on that side of the hotel. I think you can order breakfast from the nearby bakery but as I have family living locally I did not do this. As we are taking Swiss prices this is very good value.
