Pros:

The pool and sauna are such a bonus for the area. Lovely breakfast offered & the room had a great view over the lake. The boat ride into Zurich was well worth the extra cost!

Great lake view. Check-in was confusing — guests were required to use a self-service tablet despite attentive front desk
Pros:

Lake view

Cons:

We’ve stayed here before, but recent changes to the check-in procedure were disappointing and confusing. On arrival we were handed a tablet to enter our personal details, which undermined the staff’s efforts to provide a warm, personal welcome. Guests arriving after a long trip deserve the attentive, high-end front desk experience this hotel used to offer; relying on a tablet at that moment feels impersonal and unnecessary. The resulting errors were caused by the new procedure, not the staff, who should be trusted with greater responsibility rather than forced into a technology-first process
