Wonderful

The location was very convenient, the breakfast was amazing, everyone was friendly and nice. The rooms were small and very, very warm as it was very warm outside. The street noise was too loud and disturbing to keep the open windows at night so that would keep us from staying here in the summer months.
Excellent location, friendly staff, and clean rooms. Breakfast included is a big plus, and the quality is not compromised! It’s way above most complimentary breakfast places.
Beautiful hotel managed by women. Breakfast was excellent. Location awesome. Some noise outside, ear plugs worked. Bring your own. Luggage locker was a nice extra touch. Would stay here again.
This B&B was in a great location! It was an easy walk to, and from the train station, to old town, and the lake. We were provided with a transportation pass that allowed us to hop on and off certain trains, etc., within a certain area. This was terrific. Loved that breakfast was included. And the staff was super helpful. I highly recommend this Hotel. The included breakfast was super yummy as well.

The hotel is in the perfect location. Short walk to shops, restaurant and Lake Luzerne. Also 5-7 minute walk to train station which was very convenient.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location to sites. Very knowledgeable about transportation and sightseeing. Very good breakfast and amenities!

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
The room and bed were very small for the price. Limited place to store clothes. Breakfast was good. One day was very warm and their was no air conditioning. As far as the shower, it was literally 80cm x 80cm or 90cm x 90 cm. Very small and cramped, so the floor was often flooded. No maid service came on 1 of my 3 days
A Timeless Gem – A Perfect Vacation Spot
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this property is something truly special. Lovingly restored and fully modernized.
The interior was clean and incredibly comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully considered to create a relaxing atmosphere. The beds were plush. Everything was perfectly presented.
The real showstopper, though, is the location.
Great location and convenient to everything within a 5-10 minute walk. It was nearly 90 degrees (hot) and there was no AC. We were furnished with an isolating fan that was quiet but not comforting.
The staff were helpful and the location is great. It is walking distance to lake, train station, and chapel bridge. However, it is very old. No air conditioning in the rooms! The room was so extremely hot and stuffy we could not sleep. They provide fan but it really did nothing to help. Our bathroom door did not close either.
Staff was very kind and helpful. Good assortment of foods for the continental breakfast. Area convenient to Old Town and train station. Only downside was no air conditioning in the rooms. This was noticed upon booking the hotel, but I didn’t think it would be needed at the end of May. A fan was provided, along with leaving window open at night provided some relief.
Great location. Close to trains and walking distance to chapel bridge and restaurants. Staff very friendly. Rooms clean. Great breakfast and coffee. Would recommend.
We loved our 3 night stay. The staff were very helpful and one of the best parts of being there. The rooms are typical for most of Europe: small, without a lot of extras. But the hotel has a breakfast room/lounge area with coffee and drinks available and a shared fridge to put things in. The breakfast was wonderful and had a wide variety. The room was perfect for us to relax, play cards, have snacks. We would definitely recommend this hotel.
