"10/10"

10.0

Location -10/10 Litterly right next to the boat station and the bus and the gabdula, you walk no more then 2 min. Hotel view- wow. Right on the lake. Beautiful and charming hotel. Staff was super friendly! Helped us with every request. Definitely recommend.

If I knew there was no AC I would probably wouldn’t book it. I’m glad I didn’t see. It was perfect. Slept with the door open it was nice cold breeze at night. Definitely recommend to add more fans on summer season. Other than that. Perfect stay.

"Aufenthalt in besonderer Atmosphäre!"

10.0

Das ist ein wirklich außergewöhnliches Haus. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Seeblick und Terrasse gebucht und bekommen. Bei allen Betrachtungen gilt: Dies ist ein historisches Hotel, welches auch in Zukunft so betrieben wird! Supermodernität darf und soll man hier nicht erwarten. Wer sich aber darauf einläßt, den erwartet ein toller Aufenthalt! Die Anreise kann mit Bus oder Schiff erfolgen, die Haltestellen sind in unmittelbarer Nähe, ebenso die Rigi-Zahnradbahn - kein Wunder, war die Bahngesellschaft doch einst der Erbauer des Hauses. Parkplätze gibt es in den Parkhäusern in der Nähe (CHF 12 pro Tag). Das Frühstück entspricht dem Schweizer Standard (kontinental).

Ich habe den Süßstoff beim Frühstück vermisst...

"Insgesamt entsprach das Hotel den Erwartungen"

7.0

Das Frühstück war gut, alles war frisch und es wurde immer schnell nachgelegt. Die Lage direkt am See ist wunderschön. Das Personal war immer freundlich.

Nachteilig ist die Lage direkt neben dem Rigi-Bahnhof mit Drehkreutz. Die Lage neben dem Bahnhof, wenn das Zimmer zur Rückseite zeigt.

"Tolle Lage am See"

6.0

Der Rundumausblick vom Frühstücksraum war genial schön. Die Auswahl beim Frühstück war okay, warme Speisen gab es jedoch nicht. Tolle Auswahl bei Milchprodukten (Hafermilch, Laktosefei…) Schöne alte Stilmöbel

Hotel sollte renoviert werden. Keine Klimaanlage war bei der Hitze echt schlimm! Ausstattung im Zimmer eher bescheiden.

Die Frau an der Rezeption war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Direkte Lage am See Stile

Im Badzimmer roch es eklig vom Abflussrohr, gegen Morgen lag der üble Geruch im ganzen Zimmer.
