We enjoyed our stay. Although we were only there two nights, the hotel grew on us quickly.
Pros:

Lovely location. Views of the lake and mountains were beautiful. Has an older, yet quaint feel. Easy to go into the city of Zurich. Restaurant was very lovely

Cons:

It has an old feel and finishes are a bit tired.

Pros:

Die Lage, Die Küche zum Dinner, Die Kellner und auch Mario ( der Geschäftsführer, sehr sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Hervorzuheben ist Christian im Service.
Ein richtig netter Mensch.

Cons:

Leider hat das Frühstück etwas enttäuschend.
Wünschwnswert wäre Earl Grey Tee zum Frühstück und ein frisches Ei.
Es gab ein Rührei was aus Flüssigkeit oder aus Pulver gemacht wurde.
Auch leider war die Bedienung am Morgen am Anfang nur bedingt nett. Wir waren vom Dinner am Abend zuvor, dann eben am Morgen enttäuscht.

impossibile dormire
Pros:

tutto il resto

Cons:

vendere 150 CHF un sotto tetto senza aria condizionata con il caldo della settimana scorsa è indecente .

erano 60 gradi dentro la piccola stanzetta ...il ventilatore faceva cosi tanto rumore che non potevi dormire ...o per il caldo o per il rumore

comunque non si dorme in una roba cosi

Nicht empfehlenswert!
Pros:

Die Lage des kleinen Hotels (direkte Seelage) war sehr gut und das Personal freundlich.

Cons:

Die Ausstattung des Zimmer und des gesamten Hauses war sehr einfach und sehr in die Jahre gekommen (70-er Jahre Standard).
Das Wasser in der Dusche lief nicht ab .Die räumlichen Enge im Bad war schon erdrückend.
Die Kaffeemaschine funktionierte nicht richtig und war verdreckt.
Das Frühstücksangebot war überschaubar.

tolle Lage, aber man könnte mehr daraus machen-falls nochmals Gast, dann nur Zimmer auf der Seeseite
Pros:

Tolle

Cons:

Ich hatte ein Zimmer direkt zur Durchfahrtstrasse - das ist absolut nicht zu empfehlen, da sehr laut und bei den tropischen Temperaturen war es nicht möglich, die Fenster geöffet zu lassen. Keine Klimaanlage vorhanden, aber zumindest ein Ventilator.
Mein Aufenthalt war an einem Montag, an dem das Restaurant Ruhetag hat. Sehr unschön war die Tatsache, dass die Rezeption um 20h geschlossen hat und man ab da nicht einmal mehr ein Getränk bekam. Auch die sehr schöne Terrasse direkt zum See war nicht mehr zugänglich, was in der warmen Jahreszeit völlig unverständlich ist.

Nice place but be warned
Pros:

Lovely location, the views were superb and it was fairly close to town.

Cons:

The hotel has a restaurant. We only ate there one night because the service was poor, when we questioned the service we were made to feel that we were the ones at fault. As for the food, they got one of our meals right but the other order wrong, then again tried to blame us for the mistake.
The restaurant and it's terrace is just below the windows of the rooms and on both nights we stayed there the patrons were up until the early hours drinking and talking loudly and making it difficult to sleep.

Pros:

Das Hotel hat eine super Lage direkt am See.
Die Zimmer haben eine gute Ausstattung und man kann die Ruhe genießen.

Cons:

Das Mobiliar ist teilweise sehr alt und das Bett quietscht bei jeder Bewegung.
Die Dusche war voll mit Schimmel und der Teppich durchzogen mit braunen Flecken.
