In guter Erinnerung
meine Schwester und ich mit meinen 2 Hunden, haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt in einem tollen Zimmer mit See-Sicht übernachten zu dürfen. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und wurde sogar nachgefragt ob alles ok wäre. Unsere "Sonderwünsche" wurden erfüllt. Uns bleibt der Aufenthalt in schöner Erinnerung. Vielen Dank!

Great scenic location. Good rooms and local amenities. Breakfast incredibly unsustainable, a lot of meat and dairy is provided- sad news for the animals and the planet. However there were some vegan options.

Très bel endroit
Bien mais plage à côté bruyante jusqu’à minuit (feux d’artifices et pétards, peu respectueux de l’auberge à côté où les gens dorment ou essaient de dormir !

+ Nice location and very charming peaceful place. Staffs are very friendly and cooperative. Breakfast was very nice. Lakeside view is mesmerizing experience and we loved it. - We missed some room cleaning and in our room WiFi connection was not smooth ( lakeside view). In fact, could not use WiFi at all inside the room. Very far away from Zurich center (40 min by train ). One way ticket 🎫 is about 12€and up down around 24€/adult. It’s very expensive.
