The location, very clean, beautiful view
I booked 4 rooms for me and my friends on a biking trip. There was a big wedding in the hotel and even though the staff was very quick to propose us by mail the 3 course dinner (which we took), they omitted to tell us about the big party. Needless to say that nobody in the group slept very well. I find it very dishonest of their part not to let us know about it; and of course, they did not even bother to give us rooms far from the party, we were just above it.
We talked about it at the reception in the morning, we got plenty of « yes » , plenty of « we understand « etc
I would not book this place ever again, not because it’s not a nice place(on the contrary, it is), but because of the dishonesty and lack of care for the customers….
4.5 / 5.0
Amazing views and beautiful area in the hills. Loved the sound of the bells on the little goats running around outside. Great walking tracks in the countryside. A very relaxing stay. Nice to get away from the busy cities

Very nice nature surrounding the hotel.
It is huge hotel, but there is only a few parking places in front of the hotel. We had to park in a public parking place (unguarder) in village 400 m far from hotel. The room in very small. The furture is old, each piece is different style, different age, colour.

The most beautiful location I have ever stayed.
Whilst the service and location was perfect in every way I was disappointed that we had asked to borrow a power connector to charge our phone and was happily provided it. We duly returned it when checking out and when I checked the bill after I left I noticed they have charged 20 Swiss francs which converted to A$32 for use of the connector overnight. It is a shame such a beautiful hotel would resort to trivial charges like that. My suggestion is to buy your connector at the airport before your arrive at a much cheaper cost.

Charming Swiss historic hotel. Amazing scenery all around. Room was clean and comfortable. Very good breakfast selection and staff all friendly. Would happily stay again!
5.0 / 5.0
Incredible & peaceful setting and the building itself is full of personality. Staff incredibly attentive and nice, they really took care of us (e.g. my wife is vegan and they got options for her during breakfast). Would book again without hesitation.
Nothing - as a nitpick, perhaps the duvets were a bit hot for summer, but nothing else.

Great historic estate with cachet
Adding bathroom inside historic rooms makes them overly small

4.5 / 5.0
We are fans of Swiss Historic hotels and we knew this hotel is a good choice.
As all already mentioned in other reviews, the elegant hotel building & its surroundings, sense of transquility (early Spring- low season, few guests around)..and sunny clam terrace with good choice of drinks. Perfect !
Good quality breakfast. The lovely breakfast lady took care of us very well. Thank you Madame ;-))
Carparking onsite.
Not a show stopper but the dinner was a little disappointing.
Our main course were served relatively cold, Wondered how long they were sitting on the kitchen countertop before being brought out? Luckily the lovely waitress & kitchen reacted fast & polite and brought us the correct warm food. Thank you !
Overall, we still like our stay and recommend it.
3.8 / 5.0
Vast majority of customers are German-speaking. The personnel can communicate in English. Rooms are OK, beds and showers are good. Food is good, but nothing special; no wonder the restaurants are not included in the Michelin guide.
I paid 8.5 CHF for ... tap water. The tap water must be very good in this area... The building is probably made of wood; when people walk or use the toilets upstairs, you can hear them. Most customers were elderly, so there were no "other" noises.
