The hotel is located on a hill above the lake and the small town of Emmetten. It's very quiet due to its location, the views are wonderful - over the lake and the mountains.
The rooms are fairly standard for Swiss hotels, decent size, very-very clean. Good bathroom (with shower), excellent light, everything works well. It was a bit hot when we stayed there, had to open the window which was no problem as the area is very quiet, there's no traffic.
The hotel has a decent swimming pool, it can get busy and noisy when many guests are in, the size is good though. It also has some massage jets, the water is not too hot and is comfortable to swim.
The restaurant was a bit disappointing, though to be honest the value for money of the half-pension is excellent (given that guests are a captive market at the moment). The food is a tad too salty and overcooked, desserts were even a tad burnt or dry. Breakfast is a decent one for Europe too - hot dishes (eggs, bacon), cold cuts, cheeses, veggies, joghurt, muesli, fruit. The evening set-up could be a bit better - e.g. there are no bread plates and one has to ask for butter - these are minor complaints though!
The area is nice, there walking and hiking opportunities in the hills.
The best thing about the hotel is the staff - everyone is...The hotel is located on a hill above the lake and the small town of Emmetten. It's very quiet due to its location, the views are wonderful - over the lake and the mountains.
