I had an excellent stay at Hotel Terrasse am See. The breakfast was great and convenient, with a beautiful waterfront view from the restaurant. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the room was clean. I would definitely go back and recommend this hotel!

Schönes Historisches Hotel. Tolle Lage! Frühstücksraum mit einmaliger Aussicht auf den Vierwaldstättersee. Etwas renovationsbedürftig.
Ines, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An incredibly charming, and a well maintained historic hotel. Staff was really nice, and the breakfast (with that view) was something I looked forward to everyday. Also its location is ideal; it's right next to the Riggi train, the ferry stop and the bus stop. How perfect is that?! Got the most stunning pictures right from my room's shared balcony, morning, evening and even nighttime! Easy access to pretty much all tourist hotspots all around Lake Lucerne and other places. The few things I would recommend: 1. Fix the floor creaking (BUT NOT CHANGE THEM, because they're beautiful). They creak so loud it wakes up the other person in the room 2. Room keys have these grenade looking keychains we were told represent lake bouys. Please reduce the bouy sizes on the room keys so they can fit in a pocket. 3. Maybe hire some staff for the night shift in case guests have an emergency, medical or otherwise. 4. Historic buildings can have plumbing issues. My bath drain kept getting blocked with water overflowing into the larger bathroom. 5. You have an amazing breakfast room. Why not also open it up for lunch and dinner as well? There seems to be a shortage of good restaurants in the area. Everything said, I cant wait to go back to this charming, memorable hotel again.

6/10 Good

The area and environment around the hotel is absolutely stunning and we really enjoyed exploring Vitznau. The hotel was clean and where it is situated was really amazing. However, the hotel itself felt like you were alone the entire time with no service. Breakfast options were poor. The room had a construction site that began working loudly at 6am in the morning and the bed was very uncomfortable. For the price, we were hoping for a more comfortable room. The staff also took our feedback kindly. We were also very grateful for the free car park!

My friend and I had a lot of fun in this town! The Rigi Panorama Trail access is right around the corner from the hotel. The front desk staff was super helpful with any questions we had!! Such a cute hotel and great breakfast included with your stay!

10/10 Exceptional

This elegant traditional hotel sits at waters edge with a curved windowed dining area used for breakfast. The view is stunning! I only regret that the weather was cool and rainy and I did not have the occasion to sit out in the Hotel's outside areas. Excellent service and a simply wonderful breakfast--and very reasonably priced. I don't know if I'll be back in Switzerland, but if I am, this is where I am coming. I just loved this hotel and its world-class views!

Der Aufenthalt war sehr schön, man spürt den herrlichen Stil des Hauses und ein bisschen die Zeit, die an der Einrichtung genagt hat. Die Lage und der Service des Hotels war super. Das einzig Negative; kein frisches Brot vom Beck, nur so gewöhnliche Aufbackbrötchen.
Ueli, 1-night trip

Wonderful hotel with beautiful clean rooms. The town was very safe & quiet. I would recommend renting a car if you want to get around easy. Limited dining options during the week off season. Good food but only two or three close by.

The breakfast is the worst by far that I had in a while. Cold room , cold bread and no staff. They have only 1 person setting cold and cheap breakfast items. The hotel is very nice and the location fantastic, they just don’t care about their clients.

Excellent stay. Fantastic location next to ferry and right on the water. Nice breakfast
Matthew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Pros: Views and friendly staff Cons: The hotel was built in 1873 and I think our bed and mattress were original to that date! Hard beds, very loud and squeaky floors, bathroom was not great, just one pillow (and a barely there pillow at that). I wouldn't stay here again or recommend it to others unless everything else in town was booked.

The room did not have air conditioning and was located next to the ferry and train station but if the windows were closed, the noise was not too loud. View was very nice. Breakfast was good. Ate dinner across the street, good meal.

Charmerende hotel med enestående udsigt

Virkelig charmerende hotel med fantastisk beliggenhed og udsigt. Vi havde værelse 305, og det er fantastisk at komme ind på et værelse og kigge direkte ud på søen gennem vinduerne. Masser af plads og fantastisk udsigt fra terrassen, og dejlig morgenmad, ligeledes med storslået udsigt. Hotellet lige lige ved færgelejet, hvor bådene sejler til blandt andet Lucern, og ved bjergbanens endestation. Der er en terrasse foran hotellet, hvor der kan nydes mad og drikke. Desværre lukker køkkenet klokken 17, og øvrig servering klokken 18. Derefter kunne man godt savne muligheden for at få serveret en forfriskning, men heldigvis kan man købe dette indenfor på hotellet ved selvbetjening. Vi fik en varm velkomst fra en meget entusiastisk medarbejder da vi kom, og var meget glade for opholdet.

Beautiful historic hotel on the lake—it is older so no air conditioning or phone chargers—lovely rooms and breakfasts—right next to Mt Rigi transport—would definitely return!
