Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a decent size room with a mountain view in a 2 story loft on the top floor, but note that the 'German' style double bed may not be for everyone. The service is exceptionally helpful and friendly, meeting all our needs with a personal touch. The location is ideal, overlooking the lake and mountains, offering serene spots to swim. The dining experience serves a variety of fresh and tasty options every morning, ensuring a satisfying meal. The facilities are well-maintained and cater to all needs during the stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms are nicely decorated in a contemporary style, which was really comfy, especially the one with a terrace for the second and third night. The service was truly exceptional, not only because of its fantastic location but also because of their wonderful and welcoming staff. The location was just great and enjoyable, directly at the lake, providing a nice break from city life. The dining experience was great with a wide selection to choose from, although it felt a bit busy and unorganized at times. Overall, a fantastic place to stay with some minor areas for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was simply amazing. The location is superb right by the lake, and the rooms are clean, comfortable, and up-to-date. The service was fantastic, although there were a couple of minor hiccups. The dining experience was more than adequate but a bit busy. The facilities were top-notch, ensuring a relaxing stay.
The hotel offers stunning lake views from the rooms, which are clean, spacious, and come with a lush bathroom. The staff is very friendly and helpful. However, there was a slight musty odor in the room. The location is excellent, close to the ferry terminal and Rigi station, perfect for exploring the mountains or downtown Luzern. The dining options are more than adequate with a variety of choices. Overall, a lovely stay with minor room odor issues.
