    We had a little difficulty on room's electric switches that we were unable to find which switch to control which light.There were no grounding sockets in the room to plug tea maker.All minor issues but suprisingly strange:)

    Stayed in a lake view suite for 2 days.It was a fantastic view and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.Staff was very helpful and friendly from the minute of check in and out.Nice location,close to old town, peaceful place.Worth the price..

    It’s not close to the city centre but they offer a boat ride a few times a day and it takes only 20 mints to get to the old town. And it’s such a beautiful ride.

    The bed was just OK. Nothing too bad, but it wasn’t up to the high standards of the rest of the hotel. It creaked and was a bit lumpy.

    I loved the extreme cleanliness and the friendly and efficient staff. I also liked having a small fridge and microwave.

    The breakfast is disappointing for 5 star hotel. this is my 4th time staying here and think that they can extend to serving Bacon, sausages, instead of just salmon. also they have no lactose free milk, or lactose free yoghurts (having requested this previously) which is surprising since every hotel I’ve been to in Switzerland offers this. as a 5 star this hotel should put their clients request first. lastly the cheesecake at dinner was not ‘fresh’ the consistency was too hard as if it had been defrosted so wasn’t very edible!

    location, modern clean design, view, peaceful

    If you are interested to work out, i recall the gym was rather small but eventually this is a boutique hotel. Not much criticize to be honest.

    Overall the cuisine quality in this hotel is exceptional with a great location both in terms of lake view, access and also proximity to City. A lovely small park just next to it, if you have a small kid. Facilities in the hotel is very modern, clean and well maintained. One of my top 3 hotels so far , i have been to probably more than 100 hotels. One special shout out to the staff. Service quality in Switzerland even for high end restaurants & hotels can be terrible sometimes. Service staff somehow can be entitled and may act rather rude around the country. So the Swiss hospitality is only a marketing gimmick in many occasions but not for this hotel. Lovely and friendly people. Very relatable and also professional at the same time. 11 over 10...
