This hotel was a hidden gem! We expected a cute place in wine country but this far exceeded our expectations! It was the perfect location with a gorgeous view. Highly recommend staying here!

Disappointing. No dinner, no bar.
Amazing view over lake and vineyards. Room ok. Breakfast ok but many items not replaced when finished. Main problem was arriving on a Saturday and there was a wedding so dining room and bar closed. Only option-take an expensive taxi down to Vevey for dinner. I do not recommend this hotel unless you have a car.

Incredible view
There's no AC and the ventilation pehaps not the best, so the room was a bit stuffy when I checked in. But I had the room with the full view of the lake so I opened the door and after it aired out, it was completely fine. It's the view that makes this hotel worth the stay, everything else is a bit substandard.

It was so hot in the room since no air conditioning. We asked for a fan and even with it it was very warm during the day

Missing some important consciences but the room it
NO PLUGS in the bathroom. Major hassle for women getting ready. No washcloths?? This was very inconvenient. Strange bathtub without a hook to hold the handle high enough to stand in the 1/2 shower. The breakfast and view were outstanding. Our room was a really nice size and clean. Just a few inconveniences that I got used to after a couple days.

A solid hotel in a beautiful location. View of the lake and mountains. Many balconies. Beautiful area in a sleepy village. The place is extremely clean, but a little age is showing and low cost improvements. I am sure this is out of season and hotel is in a maintenance mode so the restaurant was closed.

It was a good stay. Would be better with a car. I went for the view but with the rain and fog I couldn’t see anything at all. No food offered except breakfast. Closest restaurant was a long walk away and down the hill. Excellent front desk staff .

Upgrade to a lake view room and the view was great. Easy to parking and breakfast was great ( with $17 surcharge). Shower space is a little tight.

Sheets of pull out sofa smelled of cigarettes when we got our room. Other than that, lovely place in a great location. Family room was a great layout and spacious. We had cooler weather so lack of AC was fine. Beautiful homes and vineyards nearby, Lavaux Pass provided was greatly appreciated.
