Cons -
- For us it was ok, but keep in mind that the toilet in the room is more like a cubicle, not a closed room, so you need to feel comfortable with your roommate...The buildings of the rooms and reception/restaurant are not connected, need to step out. Also need to climb up stairs for both (again, we knew it in advance, not a problem for us, but need to be considered).* We think that a lounge with the lake view can be a fantastic addition.
- The “beach” looked not very welcoming, but I guess this was due to the rainy days ahead of our stay. Also, the toilet was totally open which is a little bit weird if you are not in the room alone.

The friendly helpful and kind staff. The view of Lake Zürich from the room, the room decor and breakfast.
Beautiful and exceptional location. Garden facilities next to the lake and accessible right from the bungalows. The interior decoration of the Bungalow is lovely, excellent taste and very functional which makes it easy and pleasant to stay in the bungalow as a family of 4 (children aged 1 and 4). All of the stuff members were very friendly and human to all of us. Children were very welcome, even in the restaurant, which served excellent food. Breakfast was delicious, very good selection and variety of mainly regional products.

The hotel was right on the lake. It had a little swimming area with chairs. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and I liked the wood ceiling and walls. Also had a ceiling fan.
I would have liked to have air conditioning, but I know that is not the norm in Europe.
The deluxe bungalow was in wonderful condition - appeared to be new construction. Great view of the lake with friendly staff and a wonderful breakfast! Will definitely be back.
Great hotel and restaurant, we had a wonderful stay, and staff are so welcoming. I highly recommend it.
The bathroom has no privacy. I wished the doors were completely closed.
Lovely location, right on the shore of lake Zurich, our bungalow room was lovely and the staff very helpful and friendly.Good parking
Location and secluded place. Proximity to the lake which was what we were looking. I just loved the place.
There was nothing to complain about.
Despite our very late arrival, we were treated very hospitably and were served dinner late at night even though the kitchen was already closed.
The most beautiful room on our road trip through Europe. So peaceful. A lovely sunset in the restaurant over the lake.
Good quality breakfast items but limited selection of hot food. Would have been nice to have scrambled eggs for example
The location is picturesque. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and well decorated. Probably would have been a 10 if we hadn't booked on such a hot day.
Wasn't great in the heat. Rooms were very hot and uncomfortable being upstairs with no air con. Mosquitoes meant we couldn't leave windows open all night.
Our room overlooking the water was spacious and beautifully decorated- my husband, who can be critical, remarked that it was one of the nicest rooms we had been to in an extended time. Lovely small veranda to sit and view the water along with goats (and cute kid goats) grazing outside. Very quiet and peaceful. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a good selection and was fresh. Dinner also lovely with good service and nice tables again with water views. There are plentiful tables outside but the weather was a little cool so we sat inside.
It’s in a slightly odd area that appears somewhat industrial as you approach it; but once there, it’s lovely.
Everything was fabulous, clean comfortable, quiet location on the edge of the lake.The hotel called us after we made the booking to advise the restaurant is closed on Mondays so we made alternate arrangements first class customer service
Very nice and comfortable room with a tranquil view over the small lake. Very quit at night. Great breakfast with great selection. Restaurant has a beautiful view as well, prices are high.
Food at the restaurant is overpriced
I like the view it’s quiet place and the room was clean and new, and they had the best croissant for the breakfast .
The room was different than the picture and the toilet and shower is opened to the room ,and in the first they give me a room in the first floor and I was already booked the one in the ground, so I had to talk to them again to change it for me as I booked, 
Great location on the lake in a quieter community. Very roomy suite with deck that looks over the lake. Complimentary upgrade ?
Beautiful location, great rooms with balcony, great views, very good restaurant and super nice staff.
Nice enviroment around hotel
The restaurant was closed in the evening and we was not informed
View of lake and access to swim. Comfortable bedThe best Bircher muesli in our 9 days in Austria Switzerland Wonderful morning swim.
I’d suggest a shower screen rather than curtain but that’s all.
