Really good Lakeside Stay

various fruitscooperative staffineffective air conditioning
The breakfast provided a good selection of fruits and breads. The staff members were cooperative and friendly. They spoke English. The room's view was captivating. I also found the train station conveniently located approximately 5 minutes away by foot.
I found the air conditioning unit to be somewhat ineffective. The room did not cool down adequately, causing discomfort . I expect better air conditioning from a hotel of this class.

lakeside serenity

wellness facilitiestrain stationsound privacy
the wellness facilities included a gym, swimming pools, and sauna, open until 10 pm. i found the finnish sauna and plunge pool offered a perfect combination. the hotel's location next to the train station offered convenient access to nearby attractions.
the walls seemed thin, and i heard noises from neighboring rooms, which affected my sleep. this lack of sound privacy was uncomfortable, and i hope it can be improved. ventilation at night was limited due to bugs, so the room became too warm.
Dining

breakfast presented an excellent and delicious variety of options. i found the staff quickly refilled the food during breakfast hours. the hotel restaurant served very good quality food, though the dish selection was not huge.
Location

the hotel offers easy access to the lake. connections to eagleburg, lucerne, and interlaken are available near the station. hergiswil is a pretty little town, and the hotel's lakeside location is just gorgeous.

a romantic escape!!!

amazing viewspacious roomprivate accessstaff attentiveness
Our room offered a amazing view of the mountains and sea, a sight we eagerly anticipated each morning!!! the spacious room met all our needs. we also relished the spa and swimming pools. The warm water in the big pool was perfect. a highlight was the private access to the sea.
the staff seemed less attentive, particularly after a minor incident involving a broken glass coffee table. i wished they had shown more concern for my daughter's well-being rather than focusing on compensation. i felt a bit disappointed by their reaction.
