Simple accommodation

The room we had was more like a hostel with shared toilet and shower. It had a sink and was a reasonable size but the beds were very small and not comfortable. Breakfast was not included but available (pretty expensive). There is a wonderful small grocery store adjacent which we made use of.

The area is beautiful. The facilities are aesthetic. The service was good. The extra bed in the room was broken. The walls were paper thin and we could hear everyone around us. Overall a beautiful place to stay but regarding comfortability, it wasn’t worth the price.

If you’re looking for an authentic stay in a Swiss chalet, this is your place. We loved that our stay included a private spot by the lake with lounge chairs and beautiful views. It was just a walk up a hill to the local train, too. Our room ended up being on the 2nd floor and we were surprised at the narrow and steep metal stairs, which was the only way to bring in our luggage and get to that floor…a little tricky! The town is so lovely, the staff was great. It was definitely a fun place to stay for one night on our trip.

Charming and by a beautiful lake!

Super charming, old and creaky place. Low ceilings. Old wood. No AC and a fan that barely moved the air so it was very hot! Across from a lake. Bring your suit!!! Wonderful to jump into the lake in the morning and evening. Stunning views. Loved staying a bit outside the city to enjoy the natural beauty and quiet. Train to Lucerne is just a few minutes walk and very convenient to get to the city.
