Guest Reviews

• BOITEL (8/5): - U2ne chambre très cosy Les wc extérieur
• Dimitrios (10/5): -
• Roland (8/5): -
• Manfred (8/5): -
• David (4/5): In die Jahre gekommen, WC und Dusche auf dem Gang - Parkplatz und Gebühren bitte direkt in den Preis integrieren
• Antoine (7/5): -
• Koray (7/5): - Doğası- Mimarisi- Atmosferi muhteşem, nefes kesici. Personel çok soğuk ve resmi daire görevlisi gibiydiler. Odalar çok çok Eski üst kat yürürken attığı her adımı ve yatakta her dönüşünü - ve diğer tüm hareketlerini duyabiliyorsunuz. Ayrıca birleşik double yatak bulunmuyor iki tek yatak birleşimi var. Bunlara takılmazsanız, mutlaka gdilmeli.
• Adriana (10/5): Estadia maravilhosa.Amamos tudo -
• Peter (8/5): -
• Robin (8/5): Charming historic chalet - We loved this historic chalet, which was full of character. The location is beautiful, right on the lake. The employees were kind and welcoming. The hotel is indeed "squeaky". It didn't bother us too much, and we liked the character that this added. However, it might not be ideal for light sleepers.
• Marc (10/5): Great property, great private lake, great staff - Fantastic views from the private lake! There was an issue with our booking, but Dustin at the front desk did a fantastic job getting us set up with what we needed. Dustin was instrumental in making our short stay extremely enjoyable I wish we had more time there!
• Liri (10/5): -
• Anne (6/5): -
• Xiaoli (10/5): The area the hotel located is quiet and nice town - The breakfast was really worth. All the staff members were very kind. When I called the front desk for assistance with the backpack I had forgotten at the train station on the day I checked out, a female staff member went there personally and brought it back to the hotel for me. Her thoughtful advice also helped me catch my next scheduled train on time. I am truly grateful for the wonderful service.” The main dish I had for dinner at the 1st night was too salty
• Joyce (8/5): -
• Morgan (10/5): -
• Patrizia (8/5): Urchig und gemütlich - Klein aber fein. Rustikal und gemütlich Bei der Toilette hat mir die Lüftung gefehlt.
• Anna (5/5): Byłam na 1 noc. - Zlew w pokoju. Czas zakwaterowania do g. 23 i możliwość dotarcia komunikacją publiczną pod sam hotel. Na 1 noc znośnie. Zapach w hotelu i w pokoju, zepsuta lampka, która miała jeden możliwy kąt świecenia. Stare klamki, które powodowały wrażenie, że drzwi zaraz się zatną.
• Schupp (8/5): Gut für eine Nacht. - Tolles Frühstück und gute Lage, mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln sehr gut zu erreichen. Bei Ankunft war das Zimmer sehr kalt (Winter) und hätte schon vorgewärmt werden sollen. Ein Bademantel (trotz schlechterer Kategorie als Schlosshotel) hätte zur Verfügung gestellt werden können. Im Bad auch keine Heizung.
• Maarten (6/5): - Locatie was prima Kamer met oude inrichting, slechte bedden Hoge prijs voor weinig comfort
• ANA ISABEL (10/5): -
• Federico Domenico (1/5): A Nightmare inside the chalet - Beautiful structure from outside by the lake It was a nightmare. 1. The floors are incredibly low, at 1.9m high, I was touching the roof with my head. Everything smelled funny. 2. The room was extremely small, with an internal temperature of 40°C. I woke up every night to open the windows, despite having deactivated the heating. 3. There was no sound insulation, you could perfectly hear everything happening in the room next door. At 4am, my neighbor woke up and I could hear everything. 4. The reception is on the other side of the road and the main door is always open. You can imagine how safe this is. Also, to have breakfast, you have to go outside because the stairs to the breakfast area were closed. 5. The breakfast was very poor, no warm eggs or bacon, very limited options. On top of that, at the end of my stay, I was asked to pay 26 CHF (for two nights) for parking. The parking is on the road, with no signs indicating private parking, and nobody told me this was not free when I checked in. Never again.
• Claire (8/5): - The location and typical deco
• prodmana73 (8/5): -
• Martin (9/5): -
• Theo (8/5): -
• Julius (8/5): It was a memorable stay - With its historic charm and secluded location, this lodge is the perfect escape for travelers looking to get away from the city. I also liked the fact that the price includes a delicious buffet breakfast. The surrounding hills and mountains are currently experiencing beautiful snowfall. Almost nothing
• christoph (6/5): -
• Katrin (8/5): - Zimmer rustikal eingerichtet, aber sehr warm und gemütlich das Bad etwas klein super gutes Frühstück sehr nettes Personal Leider sind die Zimmer in der Lodge etwas hellhörig
• Richard (9/5): -
• Swen (10/5): Ich komme gerne wieder, für mich hat alles gepasst - Für die Schweiz ein außergewöhnliches Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Frühstück mit guter Auswahl, sehr freundliches Personal, die Zimmer mit Charme.
• Norbert (2/5): -
• Edson (10/5): -
• Roger (7/5): - Kleines feines Frühstück Buffet. Urchiges traditionelles Haus. Die Beleuchtung könnte etwas besser sein. Die gelieferte Pizza war schnell da entsprach aber nicht der Bestellung und war echt nichts zum empfehlen.
• Petra (10/5): Tolles Wochenende im Swiss Chalet - Mit Hund angereist ,es war top.hunde sind da herzlich willkommen.
• Daniel (6/5): -
• Ariane (4/5): Enttäuschend - typisches Schweizer Chalet. Die Zimmer sind sehr einfach. Badezimmer alt und klein. Dusche schmutzig. Die Zimmer sind sehr ringhörig, man hört jedes Wort vom Nachbar. Lärmig.
• 蓮 (10/5): - 無料でサウナが使えてプライベートガーデンで湖を泳げて最高でした！
• Tim (5/5): - Locatie Faciliteiten & Bed
• Carmen (7/5): -
• matteo (8/5): -
• Steve (8/5): - L'hôtel dispose d'une terrasse extérieure qui donne juste devant le lac avec des transats et des sièges. C'est vraiment très sympa. On n'a pas eu le temps mais des pédalots peuvent être loués. C'est un châlet Suisse avec beaucoup de charme, mais les grincements dû au bruits de pas des autres personnes peuvent peut être en déranger certains. Mais pour nous ce n'était pas un problème.
• Niels (4/5): Ikke pengene værd - Meget lytte rum, naboen ovenpå larmede det meste af aftenen. Ikke særlig praktisk med en lille baby der blev vækket flere gange. Rummene var meget små, hvilket gjorde det svært med en lille baby..
• Maria (6/5): - Is very unique, but to get to is very hard to get to from the train stop is a steep road and its just very hard with luggage. The area is beautiful. And the staff is not very friendly or helpful.
• Joséphine (7/5): -
• Mac-Lee (5/5): -
• Blaine (10/5): - Desk staff was very helpful
• David (6/5): 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.
• Kalissa (4/5): - The building was quaint and charming, beautiful views. The transportation system is convenient and free. Thats where the positive ends
• Erika (8/5): -
• Joyce (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay. Very quiet and accessible
• John (7/5): -
• Maxi (3/5): Schimmel in der Dusche - Schimmel in der Dusche
• Siju (5/5): -
• Ricardo Adolfo (10/5): - Family and friendly.
• WHJ (3/5): Snel verderfietsen - Het ontbijt was heel goed De kamers waren oude meuk en niet schoon
• Rudolf (1/5): - Einmal und nie wieder. Kein Komfort. Rechtfertig in keiner Weise den Preis. Dunkles Zimmer wenig Tageslicht. Altes Bett, das bei jeder Bewegung knarrt. Staubfahnen am Elektrokabel. Alte Badezimmereinrichting.
• Cinzia (9/5): -
• Ina (7/5): -
• Aby (3/5): - Not recommended at all. The rooms are very old and have low ceilings. at summer It was extremely hot inside, even with the fan on, and I couldn’t sleep at all.
• Bengt (9/5): Vi gillade läget och atmosfären på detta hotell. - Vackert hotell som ligger vid Luzernsjön. En fin liten park vid stranden som tillhör hotellet och nära badplats.
• Harry (10/5): - The Chalet was just lovely, surrounded by bliss scenery that is truly awe inspiring. The staff were extremely helpful, even lending us an adaptor. Couldn’t recommend more.
• Stefan (8/5): -
• Rob (8/5): - Prima als doorreis overmachting
• Silvia (9/5): -
• Mistter (6/5): - Douche très petite et le prix du parking pour les clients.
• Angelica (8/5): -
• SANDRINE (9/5): Agréable et reposant après une journée de moto sous la chaleur - La plage privée Rien
• Olympia (6/5): - The hotel was located in front of the lake which was great as we could swim and had direct access to a beautiful designated area by the lake. The room had a fridge which was handy. There was a free coffee on the commin room on top of reception , however no ond had informed us about it. We just accidentaly found out ... The rooms were beautiful but very uncomfortable. Squakey beds and floors which made it impossible to sleep . There were noises fron the room on too just because the guests on the top floor were walking across their room.Matress very uncomfortable ,and beds too old or they have to be fixed a bit. No breakfast included and you had to oay extra 25 franks if you wanted breakfast.
• Claus (4/5): - Gute Lage, nettes Personal Sehr kleiner Raum mit spartanischer Ausstattung - dafür zu teuer. Habe ihn die zweite gebuchte Nacht nicht genutzt.
• Michel (3/5): A éviter - Accueil désagréable au chalet L'équipement du chalet n'est pas adapté aux températures élevées de l'été, les fenêtres ne sont pas équipées de moustiquaire. Les alèses de lit maintiennent l'humidité.
• Giuseppe (3/5): Cercare altro - Forse l unica cosa positiva è che si trova sul lago e la dimensione della stanza Pulizia completamente assente, bagno vecchio, assenza di zanzariere nonostante la grande presenza di insetti e zanzare che ci hanno fatto dormire malissimo poiché senza aria condizionata abbiamo dovuto dormire con la finestra aperta. Rumori di legno che si sentono appena le persone al piano di sopra si muovono. Non ci ritornerei
• Vitale (7/5): - Struttura molto caratteristica e curata Bagno in comune, ma lo sapevamo. Non abbiamo avuto problemi legati a tale situazione quanto piuttosto la camera era calda e l'altra dei miei amici anche rumorosa
• Jakub (2/5): Never again - Nothing Very noisy, shared WC, overall not comfortable
• Gabriel (4/5): - Le style bois chalet Bruit interne et externe route voisins
• Natalja (10/5): Value for money in great location - Value for money when location is just so incredible, room/beds clean and confy Expected all as was presented
• Jacques van Gool (1/5): Waardeloze accommodatie voor veel te veel geld, waarbij Booking.com niets checkt! - Luzern was absoluut een mooie dagtrip tijdens onze vakantie, maar de accommodatie die Booking.com hiervoor host is een absoluut laagtepunt. Dit moet je absoluut weigeren! De receptioniste was een redelijke dame met Nederlandse achtergrond en was eigenlijk niet verbaasd over onze algehele ervaring van 2 nachten. Bij het avondeten in het restaurant hebben wij ons verbaasd over het gedrag van de bedrijfsleider. Alles wat je vroeg, ook andere gasten, werden als dom of anders onheus bejegend. We hebben dus ook maar 1x gegeten bij het hotel. Prijs kwaliteit van de hotelkamer gaat helemaal nergens over. 376 euro exclusief parkeerkosten (eigen terrein € 10 per dag!). Als vluchtelingen in zo'n accommodatie moeten slapen in Nederland breekt de hel los! Nee, Zwitserland is definitief gezakt en hopelijk blijven de bergen hoog genoeg zodat ze neutraal kunnen blijven zonder ergens aan mee te doen. Wat een asociaal land.
• Ahmad (1/5): -
• Lindgren (8/5): -
• Pernollet (6/5): - Accès au lac privatif Chambres mignonnes Literie inconfortable et très mauvaise insonorisation Accès aux chambres pas évident
• Benjamin (1/5): -
• Reza (10/5): - Nice area
• Van Schijndel (5/5): - De tuin met uitzicht op het meer Het was heel donker in de gangen. Heel erg laag plafond, ook op de kamer. Kamer aan hele drukke straat kant.
• Marie-Bel (6/5): - 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.
• Massimo (4/5): - Very expensive breakfast. I paid £154 for a buffet breakfast for me, my wife and our kids. £154 for breakfast!
• Robert (10/5): - very authentic and rustic, beautiful property and so close to lake Lucerne
• Kelly (7/5): Basic hotel but Amazing location - Location of as amazing with private access to the lake Room quite dark, very basic which is fine but walls very thin and floors creaky above, no air-conditioning which we hadn’t checked ahead of booking.
• Jessie (10/5): 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.
• Bharat (6/5): - Fine , but not value for the high amount of money paid
• Ramanathan (8/5): Nice hotel. Increased commute time due to local train frequency. - It was an authentic Chalet , that felt like a log cabin. Well decorated on the outside. To and from Lucerne with a one hour train frequency using local trains, results in a lot of commute time.
• Steven (6/5): - Dreary, outdated hotel
• Deena (8/5): - 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.
• Samuel (3/5): -
• Eliane (6/5): Zimmer ohne eigenes Bad überteuert - Hübsches Chalet, feines Abendessen, privates Seeufer Sehr heiss im Zimmer, Gemeinschaftsdusche renovationsbedürftig: keine Ablage, Türgriff lottert; Frühstück sehr teuer, habe mir was im benachbarten Laden geholt; habe auf meiner Reise in anderen Dörfern für gleiches Geld besser genächtigt, inklusive Frühstück
• Roslyn (10/5): -
• J.Mellaart (1/5): ....zie boven.... - Ontbijt was okay. Hoe was mijn overnachting bij Chalet Merlischachen? Eerlijk? Teleurstellend is een understatement. Om te beginnen: airco is er niet. In plaats daarvan krijg je een kleine waaier, wat totaal ontoereikend is bij zomerse temperaturen. De kamer wordt ondraaglijk warm en het raam openzetten is geen optie — de doorgaande weg ligt nog geen 10 meter van je bed, met constant verkeer en lawaai als gevolg. De staat van de kamer? Beschamend. Het lijkt erop dat er in de afgelopen 30 jaar letterlijk niets is vernieuwd. Versleten meubels, gedateerd sanitair en een sfeer die alles behalve uitnodigend is. Dit heeft niets met ‘chalet-sfeer’ te maken, dit is pure verwaarlozing. Maar de grootste domper: gedeeld toilet en gedeelde douche. Met andere gasten. Op een plek die zichzelf presenteert als een charmante chalet. Onacceptabel. Noem dit gewoon wat het is: een -hostel - Personeel? De meesten straalden uit dat ze liever ergens anders waren. Geen warm welkom, geen betrokkenheid — gewoon puur zakelijk en afstandelijk. Met alle respect: vraag €50 meer per nacht en onderneem een serieuze upgrade, verbouw de boel. Want dit is echt beneden elk niveau. Ik heb op locatie niets gezegd, simpelweg omdat het zinloos zou zijn. De staat van het verblijf was zo ver onder de maat dat ik er gewoon sprakeloos van was. Tot slot: Booking.com, ook jullie dragen hier verantwoordelijkheid. Dit soort locaties zouden niet in jullie aanbod mogen staan zonder grondige kwaliteitscontrole. Jullie reputatie hangt samen met de kwaliteit van de accommodaties die jullie aanbieden — en deze hoort daar niet meer bij. Kortom: vermijd deze plek. Het is zijn geld en naam niet waard.
• William Yahirzinio (5/5): -
• Eureka (9/5): If you want to experience authentic Swiss chalet stay, you’ll get to experience it here. - It’s an authentic Swiss chalet. The restaurant was very good. It’s the best Swiss food we had during our trip! That the check-in was actually in another building which we didn’t know about. It was one of the waiters who directed us to check in the other building.
• Azadeh (3/5): - Access to the lake and the private area of the hotel with chairs, tables, parasols and sun-beds The floors are very creaky and it’s quite loud when someone walks upstairs. We woke up multiple times during the night with the sound of someone walking upstairs, in the corridor or on the stairs. The room was quite hot. There was a fan available, but it was not very efficient for cooling the room in July. This made it even more difficult to sleep. There were no facilities in the room. It said on the booking.com listing that we would have a mini-bar in the room, but there was none in our room. We did not have a kettle or coffee-maker in the room either. The entrance to the hotel is on a steep slope. This can be difficult for elderly people to carry luggages up and down. The bathroom was clean; but quite small and basic. Some of the rooms did not have their private bathrooms; and there was occasionally a queue to use the shared bathroom in the corridor. Parking is not included in the cost; but we were not told about this at the beginning of our stay. Breakfast buffet is good, but it costs 25 CHF per person (not worth it in our opinion). There are not many eating options within walking distance except for hotel’s restaurant and a couple of other rather expensive hotel restaurants. We ended up driving to Luzern or other nearby towns every night for eating. So I advise staying in one of the small towns instead of this location.
• A. (8/5): - Alles gut Alles gut
