Avant même notre arrivée, l'hôtel nous a contactés pour nous poser plusieurs questions en rapport avec le fait que nous avions un chien et nos besoins pour celui-ci et nos besoins sur place. Stationnement, repas. À notre arrivée, il y avait un petit matelas au sol pour notre chienne une gamelle. Au niveau de la restauration, c'est juste parfait. Des peignoirs disposition dans la chambre qui vous permettent d'aller vous baigner dans le Le Matin que demander de plus. :-)

Beware there is very little parking option close the hotel and be prepared to climb as the restaurant and hotels bedrooms are layered up on many floors.

The room was on the fifth floor with no elevator. Luckyly, the girl at the reception helped us with the lugage. The bathroom in general and the toilets in particular has no door. Breakfast is served quite late (8:30). We had to leave without.

Reviewed Aug 24, 2024This hotel is a gem. It is a joy to stay here. The building itself is historically fascinating, and it has been intelligently restored to preserve its charming, ancient décor and features, and simultaneously to ensure that it provides top-notch modern conveniences and cleanliness. On successive visits, year after year, one can see that these high standards are rigorously maintained. The establishment is run with impressive efficiency, thoughtfulness and professional expertise by a formidably energetic manageress. The rooms are impeccably "done" every day by the hotel's maids, who obviously take pride in their work. An excellent breakfast is provided. Finally, the hotel's superb position in the heart of old Eglisau, directly overlooking the Rhine, gives its guests immediate access to the lovely, grassy beach along the river, which is a haven of serenity. Swimming safely in the surprisingly warm water of the Rhine during July and August, in that gorgeous setting, is an unforgettable experience.
Everything was perfect.

Reviewed Jul 13, 2024So happy to have found this gem of a hotel! A historic, 500 year old building on the banks of the Rhine. The room was very comfortable and the staff extremely friendly and accommodating. I would definitely go back! A few things to be aware of: there is no elevator, a taxi or Uber between Eglisau and the Zurich airport cost between 50 and 100 Swiss francs, and the restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. But all in all, a lovely, relaxing place, so different from Zurich.

Reviewed Sep 9, 2018The property is located on the Rhein River and our room had an amazing view. We had a wonderful breakfast every morning and the staff could not have been more helpful and pleasant. The room was modern and super clean, but the hotel itself is a historical building. There is a small beach and changing rooms nearby and it is possible to swim in the river. Over the bridge and near the hotel you can rent kayaks and SUP’s. It is about a 15 minute walk from the train station and downhill. It is uphill going back to the station but you can take a bus (5 min. ) or call a taxi. There is a wonderful bar/tapas on the river with live music about a 5 min. walk from he hotel called Vivi Kola. Opens at 3pm. Get there early 5pm to get a seat. Loved our stay in his quiet village. Lots of beautiful walks along the river.
