This is not a 4 star hotel. I don’t understand how it got this rating. Hotel is outdated. Bathroom had a weird scent. No amenities (shampoo/conditioner/lotion). The hotel entrance smells like a pool. Checked out the hot tub and it was not hot at all. Sauna was nice downstairs. An annoying part was that they will charge you for the bathrobes if you do not bring them down when you check out. So not only do you have to make sure you have everything packed- you have to remember to bring down bathrobes with your luggage.

You will want to come back! We Did!
Second time staying here and as magical as the first 7 years ago! Get a lake front room - it is SO beautiful. Breakfast buffet delicious and included, restaurant convenient as some days hard to find a place close by to eat due to closed or no reservations. Our dinner was good and not too expensive. And I would avoid staying in Lucerne because of prices vs this fairy tale village just 10 minutes away by public or private transport. Ferry stop to Lucerne is one easy flat block away. Ferry is gorgeous excursion in itself. Train is 3 blocks but uphill - so inexpensive on train to take you to Lucerne - 10 minute ride. (or Lucerne home so you can walk downhill). We took the train all the way to Basel $25 to start our river cruise. How easy was that! Used a Taxi to take us to Mt Pilates Gondola; you don’t need a private guide. Market across the street, bakery, and loved the church bells and mountain view’s too. The spa area is fun. Swam for like 3 minutes in Lake Lucerne, mind you late Sept. Then walked like a stork on rocks, then into the air bubble lounges, back and neck water massager and finally hot tub. There were saunas, work out equipment and massage service you could set up too. It isn’t glamorous, but it is different, especially for US tourists. But Lake Lucerne is in my top 5 most beautiful places on earth, and I loved this hotel so much, I came back to it. Will do it again in another seven years - and stay at Seehotel Pilates.

This hotel is nothing like what is advertised on the web. We are a family of 3, they gave us a room with one queen bed for all of us. The room was super tiny. The toilet smelled bad, shower edges were dirty. Breakfast buffet was not fresh, the fruit salad I grabbed taste old. I spent the night there because we got to the hotel late. Thankfully we were able to book another hotel, but so inconvenient after a long flight and having our little one with us.

This hotel is very dated and there is next to nothing to do in the area. Do not book the Corner Suite if you don't want to share your patio/balcony with 2 other rooms -- super awkward to walk out on the patio when we first arrived, turn around and see our next door neighbor sprawled out on the bed. You're also not allowed to have any visitors in your room past 10:00pm so our friends weren't even allowed to walk past the front desk to our room to come have a drink in our room that we paid a ridiculous amount for. Very disappointing. I understand not throwing loud parties but that was not the case. Overall, the views were pretty but the location was inconvenient with nothing around. We would not choose to stay here again.

This hotel was nice and walkable to train station. Limited dining options outside of hotel and if you want to go anywhere, you have to go on a train ride. Really not a 4 star hotel.

If you aren't looking for a really special destination and you just need to stop somewhere between destinations, than this location is great. If you're looking for a little spa weekend, I would recommend spending an extra fifty bucks and stay elsewhere. However if you like a 70's time warp, this is the place for you. It's also very clean ...so that's a plus!;)

A hidden gem. We loved this hotel. Arrived late in the evening so didn't see the views until morning. Wow! Breathtaking. Had both dinner and breakfast on the property and everything was delicious. My wife and I sat outside and were able to enjoy the view of the lake. Our room had an amazing view in the morning. Hope we get to enjoy this place again. Can't recommend it enough.
