值得体验一次！但是也就一次
Pros:

很古典的酒店！装潢内饰很有特色！背靠吉斯巴赫瀑布，看瀑布和在酒店附近徒个步非常方便。乘游船+缆车到酒店体验感十足。早餐很丰富，提供了我一天50%以上的能量来源

Cons:

一是我们顶的是森林景观高级双人间。房间面积小还无所为，欧洲的酒店都习惯了，但是，这个房间就是个楼顶的阁楼嘛，房间内转个身、进进出出都要留神，别磕到房梁。二是进出酒店的游船船班有限，时间是个问题，如果乘游去因特拉肯东站最早10点50才能出行，到因特拉肯东得快12点，半天基本就没了。从因特拉肯东回酒店也差不多，16点07的船班之后就是19点07，很影响出行安排。我们住了两天，出去都是走布里恩茨，稍微好一点。如果自驾可能就不是问题了

5-star luxury
Pros:

Incredible location by the river and waterfall, in the mountains. Food was michelin star level, and the staff were very pleasant.-

Cons:

The rooms were a bit small. Really everything about the hotel was perfectly worth the price except for the rooms themselves, which were a bit outdated.

Pros:

Wunderschöne Unterkunft mitten in der Natur, mit toller Aussicht und stilvoller Ausstattung im Barockstil.🤗❤️

Cons:

Der Check-in um 16 Uhr ist zu spät, besonders bei den hohen Übernachtungskosten. So bleibt kaum Zeit, die Unterkunft zu genießen, sich auszuruhen oder in Ruhe etwas zu essen.

Pros:

Magnifique hôtel historique dans un domaine préservé de 22 000 hectares. La cascade reste impressionnante malgré le manque d'eau de cette année et la région est sillonnée de nombreux chemins de randonnée.
Quelle vue et quel calme!
