18.4/10 Exceptional! (430 reviews)

My stay at the Romantik Hotel Beau Rivage was excellent and everything I needed for travel. The room had a comfortable bed, a refrigerator, and a balcony with a stunning lake view, plus the sauna overlooking the water was a great bonus. The location was perfect—easy check-in, close to a boat cruise and a nearby convenience store—and although there was no microwave, that’s common in Switzerland; overall, it was everything I dreamed it could be.
