Don't go there, no air conditioning in summer and they put us in a building without elevator. We had to carry out suitcases up to 2 scone over some narrow stairs. The rooms on those buildings look like jail cell. I was speechless when they showed me the building. Terrible hot in the unit even when outside is cool. Very disappointed!

The hotel web site featured a water front hotel with a beach bar and sports facilities. When we got there, we realized the hotel was part of a readaptation center for paraplegics and we had a room adapted for disabled. The lake is at a wakable distance but you have to cross a rail way. We never found the beach bar nor the beach. Very disappointed. It was not the vacation atmosphere we expected... Very clean however and nice food.

Voormalig zorgcentrum/ziekenhuis. Kamers en vooral badkamer erg groot. Bedden zijn heel comfortabel en gordijnen kun je elektrisch vanuit bed sluiten en openen. Alleen kan het ‘s avonds wat scary aandoen, aangezien het enorm groot en donker op de gangen is en de verlichting per ruimte die je betreed pas aangaat.

Das Zimmer ist in einem hintersten Gebäude, wobei man das Zimmer fast nicht findet. Es könnte besser Beschildert sein. Das Zimmer hat im Bad/Gang keine Lichtschalter sondern Lichtsensoren. Wenn man Nachts auf die Toilette geht, ist man voll beleuchtet😱 dies könnte Nachts gedimmt sein…
Ansonsten bin ich nicht ins Hotel reingekommen. Es musste mir ein Nachtwärter aufmachen. Die Info war schlecht, wie ich Nachts ins Gebäude komme. Ansonsten war der Aufenth gut. Grosses Zimmer, schön Modern und übersichtlich. Saubere Räumlichkeiten.

Het hotel.is slechts een aanhangels van het hele complex, wel foed coor rolstoelen of vergaderen. Het is meer een zalencentrum , waarbij ook woningen in het complex aanwezig zijn. Er is geen airconditioning. Het ontbijt is voldoende maar niet meer dan dat. Alles is bereikbaar via liften, die ook wel nodig zijn. Afstand hotelkamer ontbijt zaal is 5 minuten. Receptie geeft onvoldoende info. Gordijnen defect, ventilator is maar beperkt inzetbaar. Schoonmaak is matig. Nee gezien de prijs, erg slecht

Mauvaise expérience en Juillet 2024

Chambre sans climatusation avec une température interrieur supérieure à 25 degres. Seul un ventilateur sur pied très bruyant à disposition. Je suis resté deux nuits et n'ai pratiquement pas dormi tellement j'avais chaud. Chambre et batiment vetustes. A 180.- la nuit, on pourrait clairement s'attendre à une chambre tempérée et des matelas corrects.

Vrij nieuw hotel naast een revalidatiecentrum

Bij aankomst was het puzzelen waar je je moest melden. Ook eenmaal in de parkeergarage (betaald) was het zoeken waar de receptie was. Dit kan veel beter aangegeven worden dan nu het geval is. Ontbijt was prima, goede koffie en je kon een ei naar keuze laten bereiden. Kamer was prima echter laat geen lamp aan in de badkamer of kamer met een raam open.... veel muggen etc.. Kamer heeft een lege minibar en in ons geval gescheiden bedden.

Tolle Lage am Sempachersee, sehr gut zu Fuß vom Bahnhof Nottwil aus erreichbar. Das Hotel liegt auf dem Gelände des Schweizer Paraplegiker Zentrums und sowohl Hotel, als auch Speisesaal sind für Rollstuhlfahrer ausgelegt. Nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal und sehr gute Frühstücksauswahl. Zum Mittag kann zwischen mehreren Gerichten, auch vegetarisch gewählt werden. Auf dem Gelände hat es ein Restaurant mit einer guten Auswahl an Wein und Schweizer Küche. Alles in allem ein schönes Hotel mit gutem Essen.

Una barraca de cuatro estrellas

Un \"hotel\" raro, muy raro. Si bien las fotos son muy buenas, uno termina durmiendo en una barraca, claro al estilo suizo, pero barraca al fin.
El hotel es en realidad el dormitorio de los acompaniantes de los pacientes del hospital para rehabilitacion de discapacidad motora.
Las barracas estan afuera, sin ascensor, asi que cuando llueve y hace frio ya se imaginan la \"comodidad\".
Dentro de la habitacionn comodidades suizas estandar, austera pero en perfecto funcionamiento.
El desayuno aceptable, pero pagar el precio de un hotel de cuatro estrellas en suiza y dormir en una barraca... Una vez ok, pero jamas volveria.

Een dubbel gevoel...

Een hele mooie locatie...voor degenen die er komen voor de fysieke therapien. Grote ruimten, automatische deuren, en heel veel glas, ergens lijkt het meer op een onderzoekscentrum en daardoor werkt het vervreemdend als hotelgast. Housekeeping die om 8.30h na 1 klopje al binnenkomen zonder wachten doet ook minder voor het hotelgevoel maar meer voor het ziekenhuis/therapiegevoel.

Negativ: Klima im Zimmer (zu heiss), Kühlschrank kühlt nicht richtig, Zustand des Badezimmers ist in die Jahre gekommen (massiv zerkratzte Armaturen), Duschkopfhalter instabil. Kein angebrachtes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Viel zu teuer für diesen Standard von einem 4* Hotel.

Die Unterkunft bietet einen super Service und sehr viele Sportmöglichkeiten. Die Gastronomie ist hervorragend und sehr lecker. Es sind lediglich Kleinigkeiten die uns gestört haben, wenn wir schon (verhältnismässig) viel für unser Zimmer bezahlt haben. Zum Beispiel war das Duschmittel leer sowie Pantoffeln und Bademantel hatte es nicht. Aber ansonsten top.
