Really good Stay with Amazing Views

friendly staff amazing view

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.

nice breakfast lake view comfortable bed small room remote location narrow road

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.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. I found free parking available at the hotel. The hotel provided a travel pass which gave free access to the cog railway. This made trips into town very convenient (especially with the fine mountain views from the train).

The road to the hotel was a bit narrow, so driving required extra caution.
