The property has great views of the lake and is convenient to get to if you have a car. If not you have to take the boat to get to the hotel. The only problem we had during our stay was the limited options of food available as there are no restaurants nearby besides the hotel restaurant.

Loved the hotel. Great staff. Dinner took way too long to get food and really was the worst meal we had in Switzerland. We were disappointed that there was only one restaurant to choose from. Breakfast was amazing.

Excellent service and breathtaking view. Eating at Parkrestaurant Les Cascades is a must. Their course menu changes every day. Nicolas was a great server. All staff are great and accommodating. If you want to experience historical site- this is a place to be. Looking forward to return.

The cashier at the patio restaurant didn’t pay attention while taking my order at around 3 pm on 18 July 2023. Instead she kept talking to her friend even though I and a line of other customers was in front of her waiting to order.

The hotel was very grand. It was super clean and very comfortable. It was like stepping back in time. So elegant and beautiful. The property is amazing with views of the waterfalls. I would definitely recommend staying here. Be sure to book early to get a room and a great rate. I had a double room with the half board inclusive. You will not pay more for food but you will pay for drinks.
