Great Hotel and a great stay!
Pros:

We travelled in winter - so our price was probably not a summer price. Hotel was super, parking out the front, large room, good bed and bathroom, a place with real atmosphere.

Cons:

Nothing

Gemütliche, saubere Unterkunft mit Ritterhaus flair in schöner Lage am Vierwaldstättersee.
Pros:

Sehr schöne, gemütliche Zimmer. Sauber, bequem und mit schöner Aussicht.
Ebenfalls gibt es einen grossen Balkon mit Morgensonne.
Total cooles Mittelalterliches Ambiente in einem ehemaligen Ritterhaus (Mittelalterliche Rüstungen, Helebarden an den Wänden…)
Das Restaurant auf der anderen Strassenseite gehört zum Hotel und ist ebenfalls sehr charmant eingerichtet.
Frphstück gab es dort dann auch reichhaltig und vielfältig.

Cons:

Nichts

Pros:

Schöne Lage am See mit teilweisem Seeblick, vor dem Hotel am See verdecken Gebäude teilweise die Seesicht. Grosses Zimmer mit Balkon, ruhig, Zimmerausstattung passt gut zum Schloss-Hotel. Im Sommer sehr schöner Garten mit Seeanstoss.

Cons:

Keine Bar oder Restaurant direkt im Hotel, beides ist auf der anderen Strassenseite. Die Gänge sind mit unebenen Fliesen ausgelegt, die Rollkoffer erzeugen einen gewaltigen Lärm, schon morgens um 07.00 h, sehr unangenehm für Langschläfer....
