Pros:

Room was clean, bed was very hard. The room we stayed in was near the elevator (407) and you could hear it all night pinging when arriving on the floor.
The corridor had a lot of echo which transferred into the room.
Luckily these noises subsided later in the evening.
Towels had stains, which made them off colour.
The views from the balcony were stunning!

A poor experience
Pros:

A poor experience. The hotel had a wedding on a Saturday and closed the bar and restaurant to other guests. No prior warning, no refund, or even a bottle of wine. Had to eat in Vevey. The restaurant is only open 3 days a week, no lunch service and no proper bar. The rooms are small, basic, but comfortable. The highlight of the hotel are the views but if you want food and drink avoid this one

It was so hot in the room since no air conditioning. We asked for a fan and even with it it was very warm during the day

Missing some important consciences but the room it
Pros:

NO PLUGS in the bathroom. Major hassle for women getting ready. No washcloths?? This was very inconvenient. Strange bathtub without a hook to hold the handle high enough to stand in the 1/2 shower. The breakfast and view were outstanding. Our room was a really nice size and clean. Just a few inconveniences that I got used to after a couple days.

Pros:

A solid hotel in a beautiful location. View of the lake and mountains. Many balconies. Beautiful area in a sleepy village. The place is extremely clean, but a little age is showing and low cost improvements. I am sure this is out of season and hotel is in a maintenance mode so the restaurant was closed.

Pros:

It was a good stay. Would be better with a car. I went for the view but with the rain and fog I couldn’t see anything at all. No food offered except breakfast. Closest restaurant was a long walk away and down the hill. Excellent front desk staff .

Pros:

Sheets of pull out sofa smelled of cigarettes when we got our room. Other than that, lovely place in a great location. Family room was a great layout and spacious. We had cooler weather so lack of AC was fine. Beautiful homes and vineyards nearby, Lavaux Pass provided was greatly appreciated.
