From walking into the hotel and being greeted by the nice young man, to the library with coffee, to the medieval theme and updated bathrooms, we were delighted with this hotel. Our room was so spacious with an AC unit and we enjoyed the sister restaurant across the street. Lovely stay!!
Such a gorgeous property right on the Lake. Beautiful rooms and friendly staff. Train station right near by if you do not have a car and want to use public transport. Private lakefront at the back which is just serene and glorious.
Lovely hotel in a stunning area. Room was super comfortable and the staff were friendly and always ready to assist. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
The young gentle at front desk who helped me to check in is very nice, very supportive and helpful. The room I lived in was a bit dusty, probably haven't been cleaned/no people lived for a while. But again, the young gentleman staff who helped me to check in is very nice.
The staff is incredible. It's not the easiest to get to via public transportation, but it is quiet and lovely. The lake access can't be beat.

Great location and comfort
Comfortable hotel right on Lake Lucerne only a few miles from the beautiful city of Lucerne. Wonderful views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Breakfast was not included in the room rate and at CHF25 per person rather expensive.
Property was great - loved the ambience and staff helpfulness.
Only comment for improvement: air conditioning would be nice for hot days, a USB charger in the room would also be nice.
Very helpful staff. The bathroom was updated. The rest of the furniture is a bit outdated. The balcony had a nice view of Lake Lucerne. The breakfast was good.
Check in was fast and effortless. We were able to get a reservation for dinner at the same time. The hotel interior is charming and elegant. A cafe next door sold us a wine to take to the waterside at the hotel’s private park. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was absolutely delicious. You must have the chateaubriand. Beautiful setting. We will be back!
We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. The hotel has authentic decor and it even has an elevator. The hotel breakfast is very good as well. The staff is very friendly and informative. They were always available. There is also a coffee lounge that my husband loved.
The things we did not like is that our room did not have any type of fan, it was very hot during the day and night. Eventually we got a fan and it worked ok. The lake access is shared with the community and it is not exclusive to guests. We paid for lake view and it was very noisy. Especially at night. So many people yelling and being loud, we needed to keep the windows open because it was so hot. Also the one day I wanted to relax on a lounge chair and read there was a yoga class for the public right on the hotel lawn where it’s supposed to be exclusive for guests. It disrupted the peace and quiet I was looking for. There were a lot of children and families at the lake and at the lawn right next to the hotel where it’s the public side. Overall it did not feel like peace and quiet or exclusive. The bed was not as comfortable either. The pillows were so flat I had to stack my pillows to get some type of support.
