We loved staying at Hotel Schlüssel. Great location- walkable to shops, restaurants, bus, train and boats! It was especially nice to have the complimentary beverages. Our only regret was the restaurant was not open on Sunday and Monday. But our desserts on Saturday were delicious.

Loved the location and having the drinks available in the hallway. Loved the bed and slept well as it was very comfortable. The shower was great once inside but the opening is tight and was abit difficult. Overall, I liked the hotel and would probably return.

New room, clean and big. No A/C but walking distance from lake and train station. Excellent location, the only reason I don’t scored 5 stars is because they forgot to tell us that water was available at the 3rd floor (had to walk 30 min to find an open store since it was a holiday. Would I stay here again, yes.
