    Rooms are very basic. No fridge, no A/C, no safe, no kettle/water, etc. No shops or cafes around, so it might be difficult to find something for a dinner if you arrive late. But you can drive to a small town Sachseln below if you have a car to find shops and cafes.

    The guesthouse is located in a a small beautiful village where locals and tourists visit for pilgrimage purposes. Beautiful views, near historical houses and chapels, very quiet and peaceful, helpful staff, great breakfast (in a nearby hotel with the similar name). It can be a nice stop-over for a night if you plan to visit top attractions near Lucerne and Interlaken (Lauterbrunnen/Grindelwald).

    I upgraded rooms on arrival. The toilet seat was not clean. I used sanitizer to attend to it. Probably because the room was prepared at short notice.

    Sperb, quiet location. Efficient, friendly staff. Comfortable room.

    The room had all the basics but no frills, although in season things such as a kettle might be available down in the main restaurant.

    Loved the area and the guesthouse. The room was comfortable and the breakfast up at the main hotel was exceptional.

    The room was small, and the only mirror was in the bathroom which had no electrical outlets. Drying hair required standing several feet away from the mirror.

    This Hotel is an overflow for the Historic Paxmontana Hotel just a few minutes away. We would have preferred to stay there, but we got to enjoy drinks and dinner as well as breakfast at the Historic hotel.

    As a family of 5, we had to stay in separate rooms which is not unusual. We were in the gasthouse which is separate from the main hotel building. They could only give us rooms on separate floors. In the evening the power went out upstairs, and everyone in that room had to change floors. They could not keep everyone together, so we ended up split into three separate rooms on two floors. They did not offer anything for our troubles and at check out did not even apologize.

    Breakfast and location were both outstanding. The view from the dinning room was stunning.

    I thought that we would be in the main hotel but we were in the guest house This meant that I had to be driven to breakfast rather than walk because I am on crutches Nothing was advised about it not being in the guest house but all the photos look like you are staying in the lodge which seems like a false indication of the accommodation. No tv, no tea making facilities, and quite expensive

    The area was beautiful

    On arrival at the guesthouse we learned, having parked and once inside, that we needed to check in at the main hotel. The signpost to the main hotel Was poor and we made the mistake of taking the car because we wanted to get on with checking in. As a result, check in was a long and drawn out process and some info ahead of time would have been appreciated. Other than that. It was as an amazing stay.

    We had to walk up the road to the sister hotel for meals and to check in. Think the guests staying at the hotel saw us as the poor relations and would have preferred us to stay in the guest house.

    Breakfast was very good - amazing cheese board. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Spacious clean room.

    For visitors staying at the Gasthaus it is a bit of a walk to check in and get breakfast at the main hotel.

    Reception is in another building 5 min walk away from the guest house. The room is really small. Elevator only reaches the 2nd floor, but there are rooms in the 3rd floor too!

    For the price of a guest house room you get a 4-5-star breakfast in the main Jugendstil-style building with a view

    Bathroom was an insult, so small that a taller persons legs would not fit there when seated on the toilet. No fridge in the room, also there was no fridge outside the room in entire building for the gusts to use - my family member has medication that has to be stored in the fridge and this accommodation was the only one in Switzerland that did not give us access to a fridge!!! No TV in the room, the binoculars were broken and we couldn’t see anything. One bed side lamp was not working - probably a broken light bulb that was not changed No mirror in the room except a small bathroom mirror Elevator in the guest house goes to 2 nd floor only- guests with mobility issues could have trouble accessing the rooms in 3rd floor The reception staff was not friendly at all, the waiters in the breakfast room ignored us as we did not speak German to one another ( even though we understand German very well) and to order coffee or eggs we had to call the waitress to our table, while all the other Swiss guests were asked what they want to order right after they sat down. It was very rude from them to treat the Swiss guests better than foreign. all in all we would say that this accommodation was very similar when it comes to service quality like most other places in Switzerland - it’s overpriced and the service you get is very poor compared to what you can get in other European countries for the same price or less.

    Perfect location, great view from the room ( top floor) Very good breakfast, cheese platter, nice breakfast room - located in the hotel 5 mins walk from the guesthouse Free parking Clean basic room
