Pros:

Historic building in great location and good food

Cons:

It really is historic where our room was suboptimal with two beds in separate rooms which was not clear when we booked.

Pros:

The property was really nice and charming, the staff was absolutely amazing, really friendly. It had a very rustic feel to it

Cons:

The road leading to the hotel was very narrow and steep. It's not really the hotel's responsibility, but it's something to take into account before booking

Neue Eindrücke eines Hauses, das ich seit 50 Jahren kenne.
Pros:

Das Haus ist ein Schmuckstück, man hat das beste daraus gemacht ohne den alten Charme zu zerstören. Brennende Kerzen auf jedem Tisch bereits zum Frühstück. Feine Käse aus der Umgebung, guter Wein (Spiezer). Aufmerksame Bedienung.
WLAN funktioniert, was nicht selbstverständlich ist in dieser Gegend.

Cons:

Wie, um Himmels willen, kommt die Bedienung dazu, mich ungefragt zu duzen Ich bin nicht die Tante, die zu Besuch kommt, sondern ein Gast der mit der Höflichkeitsform angeredet wird.
Sollte es die Philosophie des Hauses sein, müsste sie überdenkt werden. Es ist der Gast, der bestimmt, wie er angesprochen werden will, der Gastwirt richtet sich danach, nicht umgekehrt.

A recommander ! Perché dans la montagne, cela dépayse et vue magnifique
Pros:

Le cadre idyllique, le personnel très sympa et avenant, le côté rustique du bois qui est très chaleureux. L'emplacement de l'hôtel en pleine verdure est magnifique. La route est un peu surprenant quand on ne s'y attend pas.

Cons:

De ne pas avoir de prises électrique dans la chambre

Authentic Rustic Swiss Chalet
Pros:

Very rustic/authentic hotel (one of the oldest in Switzerland) in one of the most beautiful valleys we've seen. The staff was wonderful and the restaurant served excellent meals made with fresh local food.

Cons:

It was a bit strange not being able to lock our room doors (this was due to the locks being too old).
