Seminarhotel
Wir waren überrascht, dass es kein Abendessen gab (nur wenn Seminar), aber es gibt zwei Restaurants in der Nähe (10 min zu Fuss, eines davon asiatisch).
Wir konnten Sonnenaufgang und - untergang sehen.

Hotellet var generelt super! Godt værelse med god seng og venligt personale.
Eneste minus var, at det ligger tæt på en stor vej, så der er en del støj derfra. Men det var ikke noget, man mærkede med lukkede vinduer.

On sent que l'hôtel aurait besoin d'un petit couo de jeune. Mais les tarifs sont corrects au regard de la vue exceptionnelle sur le lac Léman que vous aurez le matin en vous réveillant: c'est une expérience unique.

Lake Geneva facing hotel on a hill. Older but nicely maintained hotel. Free parking. Pleasantly surprised for relatively low price.

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.

Sensationelle Aussicht über die Weinberge und den Genfersee, leider hat das Hotel die besten Jahre hinter sich und die Ausstattung ist minimalistisch, zudem hatten wir Pech: kein Warmwasser

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
