Would come again!
Pros:

Great spot by the lake. Helpful staff. Hotel style was interesting! Room was super spacious and had partly view of the lake.

Cons:

Room was warm and no integrated AC made the evenings difficult. We were provided with 3 fans which did help - thanks to the staff for being very responsive. On our 3rd night the outside temperature had dropped and it was just fine.

It was ok, hotel is old and needs new carpets and some paint work done to give it a fresh look and f
Pros:

The private lakeside access

Cons:

The fact that I was put in a corner room with little to no lake view at first. Coming from so far a clear and decent lake view is a prerogative. I had to pay 90 Francs more per night for a room with a view.
Also no travel discount for a travel industry related person.

Leuk origineel verblijf
Pros:

Leuke locatie, origineel ingericht

Cons:

Het was erg warm, airco had een toegevoegde waarde geweest. Echter dit is niet meer dan een aanbeveling, het was van tevoren duidelijk dat er geen airco aanwezig was

Hotel verspricht nicht, was auf der Homepage steht!
Pros:

Das Personal war freundlich, nettes Hotel

Cons:

Ich hatte ein Zimmer mit Seeblick gebucht. Es war ein Haus und Baum vor dem Fenster und ganz rechts konnte man den See erahnen. Nach Rücksprache mit dem Personal bekam ich ein etwas besseres Zimmer, aber von Seesicht war auch nicht viel mehr! Schade, es hat nur vereinzelt ein Zimmer mit mehr Seesicht, weil ein Haus vor dem Hotel steht!!!
Frühstück und Abendessen ist nicht am See. Über die Strasse in einem anderen Gebäude, an der Strasse.
