Great location. Nice hotel
Paul, 4-night trip

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!
Sydney, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

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!
August, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!

The location and the dinning area was excellent, but the room furniture was pretty old overall it was a very good experience

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!
Stacey, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Hotel Am See sits on Lake Luzerne with lovely views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The historical ambiance of the hotel only adds to the charm of the local village of Vitznau. We would stay again in heartbeat.

Great location - friendly and helpful staff - Thanks to Anitta front desk staff
Faisal, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

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.
William, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Josh, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The rooms are super basic more o like before Christ time.The furnitures and gadgets in the rooms are so old. The only thing positive about this place was the location and the fact that is based on the lake.
Marjan, 3-night trip

Tolle Lage , einfache Zimmer.
Katrin, 2-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.
