Klein aber fein

Das Hotel liegt toll am See und zu Fuss 5min. bis zur italienischen Grenze. Da der Morgen und Abendverkehr sehr rege war,war es etwas laut, aber auszuhalten.Die Töffs waren da eher lästig. Das Frühstück ist sehr reichhaltig. Zimmer,nur mit Ventilator, alle mit Sicht auf den See. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. PP direkt vor den Hotel für CHF 11.00 pro Tag, lohnt sich da das Ticino Ticket für die ÖV gratis ist. Baden direkt von Hotel aus, kleiner Steg mit einigen Liegen.

Kurzaufenthalt

Das Hotel liegt direkt am See und nahe am Bahnhof. Guter Ausgangspunkt um nach Italien zu gelangen. Bei der Inneneinrichtung hat mir mir eine Leselampe gefehlt, sonst war das Zimmer geräumig mit Blick auf den See. Das Frühstück war lecker. Das Personal war nett. Insgesamt hat mir der Aufenthalt sehr gefallen.

Es ist nicht der erste Besuch in diesem Hotel welches sehr schön direkt am See gelegen ist. Eines der besten 3* Häuser das ich bis heute besucht habe. Gutes Continental Frühstück und eine überdurchschnittliche Küche. Gewisse kleinere Mängel im Wellnessbereich die aber behoben werden.
