Das Hotel liegt zentral gegenüber der Rigibahn. Das Zimmer war zweckmässig und hat meine Ansprüche erfüllt. DAs Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und abwechslungsreich.
Leider hatte es zum Haarföhnen keinen Spiegel - das ist auf hohem Niveau gejammert!

Very friendly and helpful owners and staff. Close to the lake, the ship and the Rigi railway. Very good restaurant (book a table!).
The rooms are rather small and old; nevertheless they are comfortable!

Staff is really friendly. Mr. Thomas helped me a lot to find attractions around Vitznau. Breakfast is actually fresh and pleasant. I enjoyed the coffee they serve. And the scenery!!! Like a part of heaven! Amazing view to the lake. I absolutely enjoyed the walking by the lake in the morning. Do not forget to try the restaurant. Very professional chef. There is a grocery store nearby where you can find most of your needs. There is a bus stop by the Hotel, which you can use to go to Lucerne or other cities. A bit far, but you can enjoy the rout.

The rude hotel stuff:
- called the guests at 3am chasing for the city tax before the guests even checked out in the morning;
- kept sending rude messages via booking.com messenger, chasing the person who did not stay with the hotel but booked several hotel rooms for a large group of family after midnight several times to pay the city tax in one-go, despite being already informed at least two times that the guests who stayed at the hotel would pay all the city tax when they check out; and
- sent multiple insults to the customer via booking.com messenger.
The guests responsibly paid all the city tax when they checked out. This is a strong evidence of the hotel assuming that we won’t pay and a pure act of harassment to the customers.

Amazing views and location. The one quality of this
hotel that I appreciated the most was the lady who
served us breakfast; out of all staff she was the only
one who was friendly and warmly welcomed us each
morning and served us with a smile.
Overpriced and doesn’t deserve the value of money
paid for it. We were a family of 2 adults and 3 children,
and the staff weren’t very friendly and understanding,
they wouldn't let us stay in one studio (which can
accommodate all of us). Instead, they insisted that we
have 2 rooms, causing us to separate and spend each
night in 2 different buildings. The carpets were filthy
and full of dust, which triggered my allergies so badly,
the furniture and bed linens were very old and worn out
the rooms weren't very clean and are in desperate
need of renovation, the floors creaked, and the walls
were thin enough that we could hear noise throughout
the night. Additionally the house keeping lady would
just walk into our rooms without knocking. overall, I
wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all unless you have
no other options available.

Location was excellent. Lovely restaurant in church garden which is great for kids to run around. Just across the road from lovely swimming/picnic area at the beach.
All is good

The room was sufficient and provided us with what we needed for our two day stay. The Breakfast was great. We like the selection. The staff were responsive and provided good service. The location of the hotel was excellent. If you intend to hike near Rigi, you can not beat the location. Highly recommend.
The property allows smoking in the room. The smell of cigarette smoke was very heavy and unpleasant in all the common areas of the hotel. We didn't really appreciate that.

We had a nice stay overall. The room had everything we needed, and the bed was comfortable.
The restaurant in the hotel is very good and we ate there twice.
Also the location is brilliant, less than a minute walking distance from the cogwheel railway station to Rigi Kulm. Also a great starting point for hikes.
It did smell of smoke in the hotel, and a couple of times we smelled it in our room.

The staff was very nice, the room ( studio) was looking good, the breakfast was tasty
The bathroom had no heating, and we had to carry our towels ( we had a bath at Rigi Kaldbad) all wet back home. It was a bit cold in the room

We were early and could either already check-in to an already cleaned room or leave our luggage and wait for a room with a balcony. We choose the last option and when we came back, were greated friendly again and got a great room with a view on the lake and a balcony. Great! Room was comfortable and the view was very nice. Great location and a very nice breakfast. We would go here again.
Nothing, we loved it.

The owner of the hotel was extremely rude and unfriendly. When I told him that the mattresses are worn out, he said he couldn't care less.

Great location on Lake Lucerne. Good breakfast. Comfortable bed. Good shower pressure.
Very dated inside and smelt that way too. Not the standard I would have expected for the upmarket location and the price paid.
