Fijne accommodatie in oude centrum Zug, aanrader
Pros:

Locatie in het bescheiden oude centrum, op loopafstand van het meer, bakkerij en bushalte. Goed ontbijt. Airconditioning. Personeel vriendelijk. Bij de receptie kregen we een app met uitleg, waardoor we gratis een rondvaart op het meer hebben gedaan en gratis met bus en kabel treintje de Zugerberg op konden.

Cons:

We hadden een kamer zonder uitzicht met zicht op naastgelegen zijkant woning. Bleef hierdoor wel koeler bij erg warm weer.

Pros:

Lo staff è gentilissimo, sia all'accoglienza che il personale della ristorazione. L'hotel è centralissimo, ideale per passeggiate/bagni al lago, e la struttura molto bella.
Ho utilizzato anche la palestra, molto pulita.
