Beautiful views and location but old hotel with poor maintenance and misleading info
Pros:

The beautiful beach and landscapes open up right outside the hotel. Transportation links are perfect as the marina and a bus stop are right next to the property, which make the train station quickly accessible. The beds were very comfortable, the bedding felt luxuriously plush and we highly appreciated the extra blanket found in the closet so I didn't have share with a teenager.

I had read with horror from Google reviews before our trip that the apartments don't have toilet doors, which was an alarming detail. Luckily our room had a door, though it was indeed missing from the lower floor single apartment where my adult child stayed. The self-service check-in worked well and allowed for a flexible arrival late in the evening. Our apartment was also equipped with a coffee maker and coffee while a single room had a kettle.

Cons:

Even though we received instructions we still had to search for the entrance and the exact location of the keys upon arrival. The bathroom was old whereas some photos showed updated versions, the listed bathtub was missing completely and the balcony photos shown online were not from our room as the direct lake view was blocked by adjacent apartments and partition walls. Stuck in past decades, the dead flowers on the balcony along with a single chair and faded sun lounger and pillow.

Unfortunately the hotel's marketing is partly misleading since not all rooms include a balcony; our double room had one but my child's single room had the neighbor's balcony right outside the window where they dried clothes and walked past meaning my child could not keep the curtains open or enjoy the view. Guests are also treated unequally regarding room amenities and the lack of coffee cups was a major flaw since the only glassware provided for hot drinks were wine glasses.

The bathroom lacked a bath mat and towel hooks. The only soap provided was a half-empty bottle of cheap hand soap. There is no AC and the portable fan was not enough to cool the room down. Trying to ventilate the room with a cross-breeze was a bad idea as neighbors smoked on the balcony right behind the bathroom window.

The soundproofing was not very good, and there were noisy guests on the lower floor. Because of the loud noise my adult child was even scared at times to walk alone in the staircase. There were also open doors on the floors marked "Privat" and a strong smell of food spread from them at times. Due to the lack of communication from the hotel we did not know if these were shared kitchen spaces open to all guests - something we would have appreciated especially if we could have quickly warmed up a meal or kept something in a fridge.

No staff members were seen during our entire stay except for a cleaner. Messages was in German and there was no one to ask about bike rentals.

Pros:

Sijainti on ihan hyvä veden läheisyydessä. Juna-asemalta ei ole pitkä matka majoitukseen.

Cons:

Huoneeseen piti kuulua parveke, mutta sen sijaan viereisen huoneen parveke jatkui ikkuinoideni taakse ja minulla ei ollut siihen edes ovea. Kylpyhuoneen lattia ja lakanat olivat likaisia vessassa ei ollut ovea.

Underwhelming
Pros:

Clean, balcony

Cons:

Just a lack of care. No staff, no help. Hotel rundown, sandpaper towels and loud creaking floors. Hot day so opened windows and doors - lots of flies. Noticed people next door had water - not me (found some in no staff reception). Hand held shower made bathroom floor very wet. No wardrobe to hang clothes. Tacky tap seal on just three sheets of toilet paper and new roll nowhere near toilet - annoying. And I had a kettle, 6 sugars, no coffee!!!

Pros:

Self check in details provided in advance and it was easy to get myself in. Great location right near the lake. Bus station right outside that goes up to the train.

Cons:

Unfortunately I didn’t sleep well due to very noisey guests who talked on phones all night. Not the properties fault as such, but perhaps if a staff member was onsite they could make sure guests respect other guests.

Pros:

Ligging, tussen Interlaken en Thun aan de Thunersee. Prachtig aan het water van het meer, rustig, stil

Cons:

Een eerder bezoek twee jaar geleden, beviel erg goed. Nu was het in andere handen overgegaan. Duidelijk achterstallig onderhoud. Een wastafelkraan op de kamer die niet liep (zelf gerepareerd), een kamerdeurslot dat vastliep, matige hygiëne, geen meubilair op de zeer kleine kamer. En, op het kamermeisje in de ochtend na, geen manager of ander personeel te zien. Ook geen ontbijt. Kortom: niet doen. Jammer.

Günstig, aber risikoreich.
Cons:

Das Zimmertürschloss ging nicht auf. Bei einer automatisierten Zimmer/Schlüsselfunktion muss das zu 100 % passen. Wir mussten wiederholt den Betreiber anrufen das zweite mal in der Nacht um ca. 00:30 h weil die Türe zum Zimmer nicht aufging. Resultat: Der Betreiber musste von Bern aus kommen - Fahrzeit ca. 45 min um das Schloss zu öffnen und die Batterien wechseln. Wir waren natürlich sehr müde und genervt. Der Betreiber hat uns erst auf Nachfrage einen Gutschein versprochen, was bis Heute nicht gekommen ist. Sehr enttäuschend. Wir können deshalb die Unterkunft nicht empfehlen, das Haus ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Das Zimmer war allerdings gut renoviert, es gab Wasser und Kaffeemaschine, die Aussicht auf den See war vom Balkon aus schön.

Pros:

Pas de réception, pas vu de personnel, corridors et escaliers assez vieux et pas très propres. L'aspect extérieur n'est pas très beau et mal entretenu. La chambre est petite mais propre. Balcon avec une chaise pas propre et une vieille peau de mouton, et fleurs desséchées.

Cons:
