Pros:

All staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room was perfect, a good size room, comfortable bed and pillows, the bathroom was clean, functional and roomy.
The view was spectacular from our room and from the restaurant and everywhere you looked from outside was beautiful 360 degree views.
The food in the restaurant was delicious, not a big selection but a good variety and the staff were very good.
The wellness centre was was very relaxing, a very calm atmosphere with excellent facilities that were free to use, you just had to book a time slot.
I would recommend a stay at Hotel Uto Kulm to anyone and I would love to go back for a longer stay next time.

Cons:

The pressure in the shower could have been better, but the water was hot.
The breakfast was a bit disappointing, there wasn't a great selection and had to walk downstairs to get the food.

Great views, amazing hikes but soo hot and humid
Pros:

The view, the cleanliness, the friendly staff, great food and atmosphere!

Cons:

The hotel details says air conditioning available but it is room specific not throughout the hotel! With this summer being unprecedentedly hot, that was the only thing that made it uncomfortable.

Außergewöhnlich und zu empfehlen
Pros:

Die Lage ist wunderbar.

Das Frühstück ist herrlich. Auch glutenfreie Brötchen gab es.

Ein Danke an das Team, dass der ursprünglich geplante und gebuchte Aufenthalt verschoben werden konnte.

Cons:

Leider muss für den Wellnessbereich im Vorfeld ein Slot gebucht werden. Was okay ist, jedoch ungewohnt als Hotelgast.

Es wurde uns leider nicht mitgeteilt, dass auch Omelett bestellt werden können beim Frühstück.

Pros:

The location is good for the views. Nice room. Spacious. Has a fridge.

Cons:

No A/C which was disappointing. Also the fan provided was very small. The hike up to the hotel with luggage is very hard. Hotel should provide a day pass for visitors as they need to take tram to get there.

Sehr schön mit beschwerlicher Anreise.
Pros:

Die traumhafte Aussicht

Cons:

Anreise zum Hotel gestaltet sich schwierig,
Man muss körperlich fit sein ,da der Weg vom Parkplatz zum 1. Bahnhof recht umständlich ist und der Weg vom Endbahnhof zum Hotel unserer Meinung nach sehr anstrengend ist.Zumal man auch noch das Gepäck hat. Es gibt wohl auch die Möglichkeit sich abholen zu lassen,allerdings war zum Zeitpunkt unserer Anreise nur die Mailbox zu erreichen.
Niemand hat zurückgerufen .
