Charming and by a beautiful lake!

Super charming, old and creaky place. Low ceilings. Old wood. No AC and a fan that barely moved the air so it was very hot! Across from a lake. Bring your suit!!! Wonderful to jump into the lake in the morning and evening. Stunning views. Loved staying a bit outside the city to enjoy the natural beauty and quiet. Train to Lucerne is just a few minutes walk and very convenient to get to the city.

If you’re looking for an authentic stay in a Swiss chalet, this is your place. We loved that our stay included a private spot by the lake with lounge chairs and beautiful views. It was just a walk up a hill to the local train, too. Our room ended up being on the 2nd floor and we were surprised at the narrow and steep metal stairs, which was the only way to bring in our luggage and get to that floor…a little tricky! The town is so lovely, the staff was great. It was definitely a fun place to stay for one night on our trip.

Ceilings are just slightly above 6 feet tall. There is one toilet and one shower for the first floor to share (10-15 rooms). Room was very hot and beds seemed pretty old. No identifiable way to reduce temperature. After hours check in was easy if coordinated ahead of time.

We booked the place just to rest as a middle point in our Tour and we just couldn't sleep. The room was big and spacious,we got the customary water bottles. Our room faced the road and the curtains were thin. So the light from the streetlamps and the Traffic sounds kept us awake all night. We booked a Double bed room and we were provided 2 single beds, the receptionist proceeds to tell us that thats Double bed. German is not my native tongue but words have definite meaning and they do not change, no matter how passive aggressively you repeat it. The parking costs 10€ for Cars and even for Motorbikes which I think is a bit unfair, since motorbikes take half the space. The Hotel itself has nice niches and decor but also dusty and unclean in places. All in all terrible stay

Hotel rooms are located in two buildings. The one we were in is a hotel restaurant, but there is no direct access from the hotel corridors, To eat breakfast you have to go outside, which is not very nice when it is raining. The second thing is the lack of much choice for vegetarians in that restaurant. And the last very important thing, the height of some rooms, if your height is over 180 cm, ask for a room with the appropriate height! If my husband and my daughter's boyfriend didn't hit their heads several times a day until we changed rooms, my review would be 5 stars, because the hotel has its own charm and the service is very nice.
