Great location that we returned to
Pros:

It’s the second time we’ve used the family suite which works perfectly for us. It’s a great location with great breakfast and helpful staff

Cons:

Bathroom in suite is a bit squashed and would be better as shower only.

Overall, my stay here was excellent. I loved everything about it. The room was perfectly sufficient for one and although
Pros:

Quaint property with a gorgeous view! Currently some construction happening by the dock but otherwise, the view was a 10/10. I loved waking up and going to bed looking at the mountains and the glistening water.

Cons:

Really don’t have many complaints. It is a bit of a walk from the main train station but there is also a bus that runs so really not a huge issue.

Mauvais choix pour ceux au sommeil léger/ bad for light sleeper
Cons:

J’ai séjourné 3 nuits à cet hôtel . Je l’ai choisi pour sa proximité avec Stoos pour la randonnée. J’espérais pouvoir me reposer avant de commencer mon long séjour en Suisse. L’hôtel est situé sur une rue très passante et bruyante à toutes heures. Les chambres ne sont pas bien isolée car on entend constamment le bruit des autos et des voisins de chambre qui ronflent. Et autre point, les oreillers sont immenses et tellement molles qu’elles ne supportent aucunement le cou . Donc je n’ai pas apprécié mes 3 nuits pour ces raisons. C’est bien personnel mais pour ceux qui ont un sommeil léger et qu’un bon oreiller est nécessaire cet avis sera utile. J’ai informé la réception de mes commentaires. Pour le reste, tout est propre. Le petit-déjeuner est correct mais très simple. Le mini frigo n’est pas du tout froid . English : I stayed three nights at this hotel. I chose it for its proximity to Stoos, ideal for hiking. The hotel is located on a very busy and noisy street at all hours. The rooms are not well insulated as you can constantly hear the noise of cars and the snoring of roommates. Another point is that the pillows are huge and so soft that they offer absolutely no support for the neck. So, I didn't enjoy my three nights for these reasons. It's a personal preference, but for those who are light sleepers and need a good pillow, this review will be helpful. I have informed the hotel of my comments. Otherwise, everything is clean. Breakfast is decent but very basic. The mini fridge is not cold

Guter Zwischenstop
Pros:

Herzlicher Empfang. Zimmer in 5. Etage, direkter Blick auf den See, besser geht es nicht. Frühstück ok.

Cons:

Angetrunkenes Mineralwasser im Kühlschrank, benutzte Gläser noch da stehend und benutztes Handtuch im Schrank. Große Baustelle direkt vor dem Hotel, aber das war bekannt.
