The property was really well located across the road from the cable car. You can literally hike to the mountain at the start of the hike across the road near the carpark. The manager and waiter over the weekend were great and always made sure they have great service. If you’re wanting a short stay it’s perfect specifically to see the lake. The restaurant also serves very good food of an evening.

The rooms face the street and due to the cable car it can get noisey very early so no sleeping in. The breakfast at times was not well stocked around 9am so there wasn’t much choice. I would expect being so expensive to stay management should make sure that there is more than a 3 in 1 soap on the shower to use.

Hotel was fantastic, such a perfect location, room was very comfortable and clean. No safe, but we could lock the cabinet. Breakfast was very nice with views down the valley. Hotel arranged discount vouchers for cable car too. Restaurant was brilliant with a great choice of traditional dishes

Unfortunately the hotel was having some building works done whilst we were there, and if we had known this we probably wouldn't have chosen it, as it meant noise early in the mornings from the builders and them taking over the restaurant at breakfast time! Also it was covered in scaffolding and the carpark was full of building supplies. A discount should have been given for this time period of works.

Clean. Confortable. In front of cable car

Not flexible regarding dinner. I called and said gps says I will be there 20.31. Hotel said find another place to eat. Last order 20.30. We ate at Adler. Delicious and when we arrived people were still eating and drinking at our hotel. It was stressful. I went directly from work in Geneva and had not stop trying to make on time

Modern, clean, and comfortable room. Everything felt luxurious and was a nice place to come back to rest after hiking at Lake Oeschinensee - which was so easy to get to as the hotel was situated right outside the cable car! Being able to have views of the surrounding mountains from the shower was a delightful bonus.

Construction is currently occuring at the hotel so during the days it can be noisy. Views from my room were obstructed by construction. I imagine that this would be a wonderful place once the renovations are completed!

Wonderful location, so tranquil and brilliantly placed for getting the gondola to Lake Oeschinensee, which turned out to be one of my top hikes of all time - wow! Hotel Ermitage is super cute. The restaurant is lovely and had plenty of delicious vegetarian choices for me. Breakfast is great. The views are amazing. We went into the hot pot after a strenuous day hiking which was so much fun and perfect for soothing the muscles! We stargazed at the beautiful night sky from the hotel car park with the tinkling of cow bells from the field. All the staff were delightful. Thank-you everyone for our wonderful stay!

Perfect location right next to the gondola up to Oeschinensee and a lovely view down the valley. Good food in the restaurant and a nice breakfast buffet, just lacking a little in choice.

Tiny bathroom with a daft shower arrangement (cubicle-filling rain shower or waist-high mounted hand-held shower head). No lift (and no offer of help with luggage) from car park a floor below reception up to 2nd floor bedroom (though it was worth it for the view). Electric car charging was outsourced and expensive, with a "Parking charge" so you couldn't really leave it charging overnight.

Great location, staff are friendly and view is amazing. Very simple to locate from the train station with a 10 minute walk. The location is right next to the cable carts up to the mountain for the perfect hike and spectacular view. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

Not a dislike but for other travellers to understand, this is Switzerland so in general everything is quite expensive and most places do not have air conditioning. Think of it as you are paying for the chance to see a beautiful clean country and not on a unit transaction basis where you will think food is expensive etc.

Stunning views. Just stunning. Property is "modern Swiss", spacious and flexible. Loads of space inside with balconies to allow you to enjoy the views and the fresh air. Hotel staff very friendly and informative. Guest card (KanderCard) available to all guests for local discounts.

Because it is right next to the gondola to OeschinenSee the outside area is a bit busy and the traffic up and down the road might be a little challenging for some. But the property is worth the trouble.

Great location next to the gondola (however it was closed when we were there end on March). We hiked up to the lake and the hike was basically at our doorstep which was amazing. The rooms were renovated nicely, a tiny bit small but they were comfortable and all we needed. The staff were lovely and it was great to have the sauna, jacuzzi and restaurant all on site. Would definitely visit again, maybe in autumn next time!

Amazing location right opposite the cable car and you get a guest card which gives you 20% off the cable car tickets. Ample parking and you can leave your car after you check out if you want to enjoy the area for longer like we did. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and the staff were really helpful. Would 100% recommend and would stay again if we return to the area.

The blinds let in a lot of light, that’s our only complaint!
