The hotel offers simple yet beautiful rooms, larger than expected, in the art nouveau style with a stunning view of Lake Sarnen. However, cleanliness, especially in the bathroom, could be improved. The service is accommodating and multilingual, but management lacks in customer retention strategies. The location is exceptional, nestled near Lake Sarnan on the Alps' foothills, perfect for nature lovers and hikers. The dining options vary from a poor selection to an amazing Continental buffet. The facilities provided are sufficient, though room for improvement remains.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was stunning with amazing views, but unfortunately, it was ruined by the rude and unfriendly staff. The rooms were basic and lacked essential furniture, while the dining experience was marred by the unpleasant wait staff. On the bright side, the service was friendly and accommodating.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were simply furnished with balconies offering a breathtaking view of Lake Sarnen, but I found the low balcony rails potentially unsafe for children. The rooms were well-ventilated and soundproof, although quite basic.

The hotel is located in the beautiful mountains in Lucerne, but the rooms lack modern facilities and are tiny even by Swiss standards. The staff is friendly and helpful, but some are rude and ungracious. The dining options are limited, and the wait staff can be unpleasant. The location near Lake Sarnan is convenient, but the atmosphere is not memorable. The facilities are adequate, but not exceptional.

I stayed at a charming three-star hotel with a unique touch – they provide binoculars to admire the stunning surroundings from the balcony, though no TVs are allowed. The simplicity of the rooms was countered by the friendly service and convenient location near Lake Sarnan in the Lucerne mountains.

Rooms
8.0
The rooms were simple yet cozy, with a bed, table, and binoculars for the view. No TV but a unique way to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Service

The service was courteous and accommodating, with staff fluent in foreign languages. The welcome message about no room without a view added a nice touch to the stay.

The hotel's location near Lake Sarnan on the foothills of the Alps was truly special. Being right on top of the hills of Flüeli provided a serene atmosphere.
Dining

The dining experience was good, offering a variety of quality bread, cheese, and yogurts, although the spread was not extravagant. Some vegan options were available.
Facilities

The facilities were satisfactory, and the presence of a coffee shop added convenience. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, mainly comprising bread variations.
