Find the Cheap Gersau Hotels

One owner manages the entire hotel and the restaurant on the first floor, lol. Very interesting boss, the hotel room is not bad, mainly the view and balcony are very surprising, the room equipment is also not bad, the hotel breakfast is pretty good, it's too cost-effective. A few minutes walk from the hotel, there is a pizza shop that tastes great!

The scenery is invincible, the key price is also close to the people, the air is not good for tourists, and it is very comfortable. Ctrip has strong skills, and our basic needs are all solved in the APP. If you can't make a decision, ask the human service to solve it. It's awesome, thanks to the service of Ctrip.com.

Overall I can only give this hotel a 2/5. Location: Beautiful but kind of remote. You are right on the lake, so great sunsets, beautiful scenery and its very peaceful. Remote - More than an hour from Lucerne driving, ferry is also about 1hr. Interlaken is about 2.5 to 3hrs drive due to traffic and small roads. Ferry without a pass is about 60 CHF round trip to Lucerne, so quite pricey. Staff: Overall: Very helpful and friendly, no problems. Food: We ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Breakfast was very good, with a good selection. Dinner we felt it was overpriced for what it was, you would average around $75 - $100 pp without alcohol. There are also very limited options in the village unless you want to drive. There is a grocery store across the street that you can pick up snacks and other things which is useful. Parking: Decent parking at the hotel at 10 CHF per night. Room: This is where the main issue was. The room overall is quite small, though very clean and well appointed. We had an upgraded room with a patio overlooking the lake. The doors to the patio couldn't be opened fully as the bed was in the way. There is no A/C in the room due to the hotel being a historic building. We stayed at the hotel in early September 2023, it was around 85F / 29C in the daytime with a humidity of around 75%. The lakeview rooms get full sun from around 1pm till 7.30pm in early September, which means they are literally unbearable from about 3pm. The hotel does provide a fan, but it's not really useful when inside the room the temperature was reading 91F/ 33C. This is a big problem as the hotel isn't a low end establishment and we expected better. In addition, as the evening comes in, there was a high amount of mosquitos (due to the lake) which if you leave the doors open, you will be eaten alive, this adds to the problem with an already hot room. If there was some kind of bug screen this would have really helped as there is no other way to cool the room down. Overall, we were happy to leave, even though the views and location are spectacular and staff very accommodating. The problems with the room are too much based on this price point.

Slightly odd checkin procedure, where we got a key somehow without really registering but our room was prepaid so we didn’t think much of it. The room wasn’t ready after all, so the receptionist spent some minutes shouting at the cleaner and left us to wait in the bar. When we got to the room it was unexpectedly large and roomy with a balcony and separate window so we could air it a bit (no air condition). Decoration a bit dated etc, no fridge but clean and fairly quiet and dark at night despite being next to the road. The bathroom had soap dispensers full of very watered down detergent but the water pressure in the shower was good and reliable, as was the Wi-Fi. We slept well! We had dinner in the restaurant and that was fine, and agreed to put it on the bill and pay in the morning. As we enjoyed our dinner, a huge party of new guests arrived and were accommodated in the restaurant but in a difficult part and the hotel manager, who was also waiting on tables, somehow managed to handle all of this at once and no problems with service to our table as you might expect. In the morning, the same thing; lots of breakfast guests but they were prepared by having an extra table of breakfast in a difficult room (albeit without the cold stuff like yogurt) and placing thermoses of coffee on the tables for arriving guests. So we didn’t get a welcome or anything but helped ourselves. Breakfast was a bit limited and the coffee was the worst we had on this trip, but still plenty of choice. Checking out was rather difficult as the person on reception couldn’t find any record of us checking in, and had problems with the computer system, but it was eventually sorted out, we paid our bill and off we went. There is not a lot of choice if you want to stay in Emmetten so this could be your best bet.

Superb stay for a few days of business..staff were great at looking after the team with all needs. Food was great (if a little limited options), view is lovely across the lake and the rooms were quiet good too - seem to have learned from previous reviews and added a fan. It isn’t the kind of hotel for bellhops so if that’s what you need, head elsewhere but with on site parking, a good breakfast and close to the mountain, it was worth the stay!

We had 10 nights driving round Europe. We were lucky with all the hotels we stayed in but this one was the icing on the cake. An absolute delight. Set on Lake Lucerne with views to die for. Our room was comfortable and traditional with a balcony with that view - wow. Breakfast was a good selection and enjoyable. The passenger ferry to Lucerne departs from just in front of the hotel and Mount Rigi venicular to the side of the hotel. Cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Very good hotel, winter is definitely not as perfect as summer, but I am already amazing, the pool water is hot, there are small hot springs, steaming ice room is complete, la prairie free trial after bath, breakfast You can order the Michelin plate, and the taste is quite good. I called to eat in the room at night, it was delicious! I also gave wine and helped decorate the room! Will come again if I have a chance

Wanting a calm retreat ? Don’t stay here. Although the restaurant is really good, the soundproofing is not existing in the rooms. We had a room 3 floors above the restaurant and we were disturbed by the chairs of the restaurant sliding between 7 to 10 am and 6 to 10 pm. And that was in the room with a view on the lake. Also, the hotel is non-smoking, but they put ashtrays on the balcony. Unfortunately our room neighbors spent the evenings/nights smoking like chimneys, and that disgusting cigarette smoke was coming into our room through the balcony window. And on the other side of the hotel the road has some heavy trafic. Oh, the delivery truck at 5 am is noisy too. And the cleaning ladies were talking very loud (one shouted a big “Scheisse” which surprised/shocked me and another couple in the hallway). It’s a shame, because the rest of the staff is really really nice, but it’s not a hotel to rest.

The Staff are so friendly and helpful. They were able to store our baggage until the room was ready. Thier outdoor cafe overlooks Lake Lucerne and they offer English menus. the staff are first rate. Then you get your room,,, Amazing. Very spacious and the view from your patio is non-stop beauty. The location is easy access to the train station, many restaurants. there are a lot of excursions on the lake available. Did I mention the view from your balcony?
