Really good Stay with Amazing Views

friendly staffamazing viewsmaller room
the restaurant staff were helpful and friendly. the dinner reservations process was simple. my room had an amazing view from the terrace, it was really great. i appreciated the twelve o'clock check out time. the cog railway was very close, only minutes away.
i booked a room with a balcony ,but upon arrival, the room had been occupied by other guests. i then received a smaller room ,and it lacked a balcony. the size of the room mattered, as i had a baby and a dog with me.

The COG railway was just a short walk away and offered a complimentary ride to the city for hotel guests. I found free parking available at the hotel, convenient. The terrace offered Fine views, especially at sunset. The restaurant on site presented an extensive menu with a vegetarian option.
The room looked somewhat dated, and the bathtub showed noticeable wear with enamel missing.

The breakfast provided a very nice start to the day. the view from the room included both the lake and mountains. I found it charming. the bed was quite comfortable.
The room was small. There was hardly any space to move around. the hotel's location felt far from the city, posing a slight inconvenience. the road leading to the hotel was narrow, presenting a challenge while driving.
