We only stayed for one night as we on motorcycles trsvelling back to the UK from lake Como. We had dinner at the restaurant and I can confirm it's was truly delicious and staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is a typical old swiss chalet with loads of character and it was comfortable, not 5 star but it met out every needs

Staff is especially helpful and wonderful. I stayed in the shared bathroom single room. Very small. Heater was weak, so I was cold. The waterfront and lakeview is the property's best asset. Breakfast was wonderful - five francs if you pay online upfront - 25 francs if you pay when checking in.

It's a nice place certainly. Lakefront area is a major asset. Staff was very helpful and delightful. Breakfast was very nice. My room in the building without ensuite amenities was fine - small, only one electrical outlet for charging phones etc. One bathroom and shower for 9 rooms on my floor seems a little inadequate. A nice place for sure, but compared to other Swiss hotels with comparable amenities and location desirability, a tad overpriced I think.

The room was small with a low ceiling and low door frames such that I needed to bend my head often (I’m 6 ft.3 inches). The lighting was dim and the floors not clean. The tv didn’t work and the building creaked.
