Regular customer, I am really happy with this hotel. The staff are super friendly and professional. The rooms have been renovated several years ago and have everything one could need, international electricity sockets, not just Swiss ones, nice bathroom amenities and above all super comfortable beds and very quiet rooms. I can't wait to go back, thank you very much!

Comfortable family rooms with nice small touches

Reviewed By Dawniey

Just spent 4 nights here. We had a lovely stay. We booked the family room and it had 2 separate rooms with a common entrance connecting the rooms. Each room had its own bathroom. Thus, quire comfortable if you want to be together but yet have private rooms. Breakfast buffet was good ( the usual yogurt, cereals, juices, bread, smoked salmon, pancakes, sausages) and you can also separately order eggs and bacon etc cooked fresh; all included. It also had nice small but meaningful touches like free mini bat which they top up daily ( water, soda, coke etc), free rental of bicycles, free bus ticket for travel anywhere in Lucern which we used quite conveniently as bus stop is just round the corner. If you need parking, it is 22CHF per night. Room was clean and comfortable too. Would recommend.

Hotel Roessli

Hotel Rössli, nestling in the old quarter of Unterseen near Interlaken, is a popular base for holidays in Switzerland's beautiful Bernese Oberland. Our hotel offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, a central location, a stylish yet cosy ambiance and attractive rooms to suit all tastes. Rooms with balconies have views of the snow-clad Jungfrau and the Jungfraujoch-Top of Europe at 3454 metres above sea level!

It’s all rosy at the Rössli again.

Reviewed By Charles M

Now that Switzerland has ended all Covid restrictions, I was able to enjoy another stay at this friendly, cosy traditional Swiss hotel, centrally and quietly located, a five minute walk from Interlaken West railway station/transport Interchange, from where you can explore the beauty of the Bernese Oberland. Christopher, Vilma, Khatia and the rest of the multilingual reception team are very efficient and welcoming and provide you with a hotel info leaflet and the Interlaken guest card that enables free local transport and provides discounts at some shops and attractions. They can also help with personal itineraries and tickets on the Jungfrau Railways system. My first floor, very clean simply furnished room had multi-channel TV, shower/toilet, very comfy bed, plenty of electrical sockets including USB charger ports, a free room safe and Wi-Fi access. The room was cleaned daily by very friendly and accommodating staff. Breakfasts were varied and plentiful with cereals, breads, toast, croissants, fresh fruit, yoghurts, jams, boiled eggs, cold meats, local cheeses, extra yummy scrambled eggs and bacon plus cold fruit drinks. Tea or coffee was served at your table. It was nice to see Jean Louis (Christopher’s father) in full swing again, welcoming his many returning guests and dispensing cheerful humorous comments, ensuring tea and coffee pots were always topped up and more importantly having the time to sit and discuss with his guests helpful travel tips. What an amazing host! The ground floor lounge has sitting areas, a widescreen TV, 24hr tea/coffee making facilities, a microwave plus plates and cutlery so guests can heat up their own food supplies and eat-in. There’s also a well stocked multilingual library for guests use. There’s another widescreen TV in the first floor lounge along with a supply of DVDs, laptop computer and children’s toys/games. Across the road from the hotel is a pharmacy, newsagent and pizza restaurant and within easy walking distance are several restaurants and a Coop supermarket that also have sandwiches, snacks and drinks that can sustain you on your daily excursions into the mountains. Thanks again for your hospitality and kindness. It’s much appreciated.

Great Belle Epoque Design-Hotel built in 1875. Unique design, first class service, wild art installations & wallpapers and a fantastic lake view makes this place just amazing.

romantic, fantastic, colorful

Reviewed By rgilcord

Staying at Hotel Beau Séjour in Luzern is traveling time and space but still having the flair of trendy interior. Old elements combined with contemporary design, materials and shapes make this place what it is. Wonderful. The bed is softer than the one at home and the sleep experience is better than Louis XIV I bet. If you want to visit Luzern than you should definitely stay at Beau Séjour to really have a Beau Séjour. This is french and means a beautiful stay.

I loved this hotel.

Reviewed By EAZELIFF

This caters mostly to tourists, but does so with charm and class. The rooms are modern, but housed in a historic building. I loved the murals that cover the walls over the bed. OK, not the most super luxurious accommodations, but does that really matter? No chain motel feel here and the staff were lovely. ( Thank you, Anya). The fondue restaurant in the building is a winner. Kudos to server Karol from Hungary. This hotel left me with a good impression of Zurich.

Great location!

Reviewed By T3757AQreneeb

This boutique hotel is directly across the street from the train station. The spa rooms are amazing and comforting. The indoor pool has jacuzzi jets to lay down. The breakfast was fabulous with many choices, including a natural honeycomb for the honey and a waffle maker to make your waffle. The tea room had expansive choices for tea with sweets. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Only negative, no air conditioners, no ceiling fans, and no screens on the windows. The room was hot and stuffy since I refuse to open a window without a screen in the midst of a forest.

lovely view of the bridge from room

Reviewed By jantshield

The room had a small balcony and chairs to look at the historic bridge and the water. It rained, so we did not use the balcony but it was a nice view to look out upon. The hotel kept our bags until it was time to check in and offered to keep them after check out as needed. Good location, easy to walk to from the train.
