it was a busy itinerary but that is what we asked for
Hotel Reviews
room was really small for 4 of us but we liked the location, was close to train to the gardens and there was a market right out front that was great!
big room, great location, easy to walk to everything and a fabulous amazing spectacular breakfast buffet, one of the best we have had!
the issue I had with this hotel was the location, the staff was very nice, the food at the restaurant was very good, but the location was in the middle of nowhere, with only a gas station across the street. There was really nowhere to go after coming to the hotel for the night, Freiburg is a 15 minute drive away on the highway. The rooms were also very basic. They were clean, but had none of the typical hotel amenities. The bathroom was tiny, there was nowhere to put any toiletries and there were tiny towels and plastic cups (like a kids cup). The parking was also, as my husband said, "the most stressful part of driving each day" bc the parking garage/barn was very tight, need a person directing you so you don't hit anything. The people, however, were kind and the restaurant was good, there was just literally nothing to do there. We took a walk on a short path but it ended at a busy road. Bedding was good!
Oh my word, this gets 10 out of 5 stars, the best 24 hrs of my life, literally! They even let us check out at 3 instead of 12. The pool/spa was fantastic, I will dream of it for years. The views from the pool were spectacular. We were a bit early in the season so one of the trails we hoped to hike was not open and some of other restaurants were not either, but we found another hike, and areas to explore. The buffet was included and AMAZING. We did not have time to enjoy the "private movie screening" for our family bc we wanted to be outside/in the pool. This was the highlight of the trip, highly recommend the splurge. It is pricey but worth it. We had a view of the mountains/cow pastures on one side and lake Lucerne on the other. The amenities included snacks, champagne and a fridge full of beverages including wine. The ferry to Burgenstock is just across from the train station, at Pier 3, and the boat ride is very nice- and the funicular to take you to the restaurant is great also.
location nice and close to train, we did not get to enjoy the buffet bc our taxi came early. cute area with many restaurants to walk to, we did not have time to enjoy the neighborhood or explore the funicular that we saw
