Charming and by a beautiful lake!

Super charming, old and creaky place. Low ceilings. Old wood. No AC and a fan that barely moved the air so it was very hot! Across from a lake. Bring your suit!!! Wonderful to jump into the lake in the morning and evening. Stunning views. Loved staying a bit outside the city to enjoy the natural beauty and quiet. Train to Lucerne is just a few minutes walk and very convenient to get to the city.

Ceilings are just slightly above 6 feet tall. There is one toilet and one shower for the first floor to share (10-15 rooms). Room was very hot and beds seemed pretty old. No identifiable way to reduce temperature. After hours check in was easy if coordinated ahead of time.

The location of the hotel on the lake is absolutely stunning and the receptionist was really helpful and friendly! The hotel is a bit outdated and ceilings are very low, so not for tall people. The bathroom and toilet on the hallway are clean but very basic.
