Le lavage est un service payant d'un prix exorbitant. 5 à 7 francs par morceau est totalement ridicule. Le reste de l'établissement était ok

I probably would not stay at this hotel again. It felt a little run down and the floors were so creaky from the room above us that it was difficult to sleep. The beds were also very uncomfortable. We had to walk across the street to the lobby of another hotel to speak with anyone in reception.

The hotel is beautiful. It’s an authentic Swiss chalet and it feels like a historic building. That’s stunning and certainly it’s an experience to stay there. It’s also clean and comfortable. The staff were wonderfully helpful and I was travelling with my beagles - they were welcomed. The problem is that we travelled during a heat wave and this building has been designed to trap every particle of heat. There is obviously no air conditioning. At night, the room was so hot it was unbearable. They did have a fan in the room but tbh it had no effect on the overall temperature- it was a standard tower fan. If I come back to Switzerland in the winter, I would stay here. But I’m afraid in the summer, I’d have to say not. But it’s nothing they did or didn’t do, it’s just too hot.

Very charming, clean, friendly staff, located by the lake, nice views.

The advertising of this place is a little misleading. The Swiss Chalet is actually across the road from the lake. The lake is on the same property at the Schloss Hotel which is connected, but not the same place. Guests of the Swiss Hotel do have the advantage of using the private lake area though, rather than the public area. The Schloss Hotel is however, much nicer, more modern, and the rich cousin of the Swiss Chalet.. and you clearly pay for what you get. My advice is find the extra cash or don’t bother. The Chalet is clearly built for winter weather and is awful in the summer as there is no AC and holds the heat. The Swiss Hotel is poorly maintained and appears to be a second thought to the Schloss, although again, you get what you pay for. The beautiful lake and private swim area are the only saviours of the Swiss Chalet. It’s magnificent in the afternoon and perfect place for a swim. Close to transport, staff are nice but don’t talk yourself into this one, especially during summer! It’s a sweat box!

We stayed at the Swiss Chalet Hotel Merlischachen in early June and had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel has a charming historic, rustic character that adds to its unique atmosphere. Our family room with three beds and a private bathroom was exceptionally spacious, clean, and included a comfortable seating area. We also had a room with a shared bathroom, and the shared facilities were well maintained and very clean. The hotel does not have air conditioning, but during our early June stay, it wasn't an issue. We were comfortable sleeping with the windows open, and the cooler evening temperatures made for a pleasant night's sleep. Breakfast in the onsite restaurant was excellent, with a nice selection in a pleasant setting. The location is beautiful, with stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Hotel guests also have access to the lakeside park, which is a wonderful place to relax or take a walk. The hotel is conveniently located just a short drive from Lucerne, making it a great base for exploring the area.

Nice and relaxing

Amazing access to private beach at lake and incredible swimming spot! Shared bathroom and shower was no issue at all. The restaurant was delicious. Only challenge was we were here during June heatwave and the rooms were extremely hot, so just be prepared for no AC! Overall loved our stay here!

I want to be as upfront as possible. DO NOT book this hotel especially if you prepay. It does not match the description. You think you’re staying in a nice chalet next to the lake. However, where you’re really staying is on the backside of the restaurant across the street. The halls look like a dungeon with no natural light or ventilation. The room on the website looks bright and airy. It is not. There was one window where we could see everyone climbing the outside stairs to their rooms but didn’t let in much natural light. You can hear every footstep above you. The other window in the room faces a concrete wall that they put a lake scene on. That was our lake view. We thought they were just trolling us at that point. The rooms hold heat so much that the 90 F temps outside felt 20 degrees cooler. Their small park looks much bigger and nicer online than in reality. The view is great, but other than that there is no redeeming quality to this place. The regular staff is generally kind, however when we expressed our displeasure no upgrades were available. After one night we booked a nice place in Lucerne. Only after that did the hotel offer an upgrade to a lakeside room. By then it was too late. The manager wouldn’t budge on any kind of refund. The place was so bad we were willing to eat the $200 we lost. I’ve never done that before. Anyway, long story short, do not book the chalet. If you do, you’ll regret it.
