Traditional swiss chalet

A old traditional swiss building. So it was a dark room but as expected. Quirky a fun experience, quite expensive for what you get good place to sit by the lake and swim good coffee machine near reception over the road

Great location

Great service at this hotel with fantastic lakeside location. Room was ok. Lovely food but pricey. Aware of shared facilities before arrival but did not realise would be sharing one showet and toilet with multiple rooms/guests. These got wet and smelly.
