The rooms are functional and have a vintage look. Overall clean but some mould on the lower side of the washbasin. The hotel is next to a heavily travelled road. Going to bed early will be a challenge. In the morning you can get breakfast and have the opportunity to meet local craftsmen who take the 9 o'clock break in the same room in the restaurant. Overall good value for the money.

Rustical living on the countryside

I read some reviews about this hotel before arriving with our tour and was rather worried by the condition of the hotel.  Turned out it was not as bad as I expected.  Indeed, it was a very interesting experience.  The hotel is directly across a beautiful lake as well as train tracks with trains running every 5-10 minutes or so.  So naturally, it gets noisy - even late in the evening but after a while, you kind of get used to it.  The hotel is very old - according to our tour guide, everything is from "1927" (not sure if that's a joke but certainly everything is very old and outdated).  The building, including the rooms, is not air-conditioned, not even a fan.  However, we are out during the day and by evening time, the room is already cooled down.  We were there a couple nights in July and all we did was keep the windows half open with the curtains closed and that was sufficient to keep us cool at night - we even needed a blanket on.  You do need to keep the curtains closed to keep out the mosquitoes as there was no window screen.  Bathroom was very small - shower was even smaller - you could hardly turn or bend to apply the soap - yet I find it a very interesting experience.  Very limited closet space and towels were obviously not the most "luxurious" kind.  Beds were the typical European kind of single beds i.e. very small, yet they were comfortable.  Not the pillows though - they feel kind of beady but I didn't have problem falling asleep as I was tired enough.  The little mini TV from dinosaur ages was hung at a top corner above the beds so I would not call it a good TV experience.  

Important suggestion is to NOT use the standard European adapter.  Instead, get a SWISS adapter as our European adapter which is slightly higher voltaged than the Swiss one ended up blowing the fuse in our room.  Our adapter died (burnt) - good thing our I-phone was intact.  We had to run down in the middle of the night in the DARK to ask the owner to switch back the fuse.  Kind of embarrassing.

There is a train station about a 5-minute walk away from the hotel that takes you to Lucerne in about 45 minutes or so.  Train fare is kind of pricey - if I am not wrong, about 20 Euro each way for adult fare. 

Complimentary continental breakfast included - food was decent.  We also had a dinner at the hotel restaurant - it was also very decent.  Not sure about the price as the meal was included in the price of our tour.  

Overall, interesting hotel experience - just don't expect anything fancy - more like a 3-star indoor camping experience than a true "hotel" experience.  Yet, this would be a hotel I would remember for a long time.
