Beautiful view over the lake, nice and clean rooms. Recommend!
Pros:

Great Hotel, loved the location by the lake and that you could take a swim in the lake directly from the hotel. Beautiful bedroom view over the lake, and comfortable beds. The room was clean and the water pressure in the shower was good. The staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was also nice. Breakfast was basic, but we were very happy, and just loved to eat breakfast out by the lake every morning. Very convenient location nearby the train station with complimentary tickets from the hotel to travel to Lugano and other nearby places.

Cons:

Thought it had aircondition, but not all rooms are equipped. Had a fan, and when we asked for an ekstra the staff was very helpful and provided us with an extra fan. This helped very much through the nights.

Das Zimmer ist viel zu teuer, aber es war trotzdem schön, da man viel unternehmen konnte
Pros:

Die Lage am See war gut, das Personal war freundlich und die Zimmer waren sauber. Es gab gratis Bademäntel und Badetücher und der Balkon war auch sehr schön. Tagsüber konnte man gratis Kaffee und Mineralwasser trinken.

Cons:

Es gab zu wenig Liegen am Wasser für die Gäste, nicht alle fanden Platz. Da es nur eine kleine Terasse am See gibt und keinen Strand, ist das ein Problem. Es war durch die direkte Lage an der Strasse Abends sehr laut im Zimmer. Die Einrichtung des Zimmers war enttäuschend, die Möbel waren total altmodisch und das Bett war zu niedrig, alles ca. gefühlte 30 Jahre alt...In der überalterten Badewanne war die Emaille stellenweise abgeblättert und der Duschvorhang an der Wanne ist auch nicht gerade "superior". Das Frühstück war enttäuschend, die gekochten Eier waren eiskalt und es gab nur 3 Sorten Aufschnitt. Es war ein sehr spärliches Buffet für diesen hohen Preis, selbst in 3 Sterne Hotels hatten wir schon ein besseres Angebot.
