    The room 12 was big and spacious with a balcony and living area corner. We loved it plus it is opposite the cable car which takes you to the Oeschinensee.

    A convenient and cozy apartment for a family stay with snow activities at the Oeschinen lake

    • Apartment with Balcony

    The kitchen does not have microwave. The apartment has 2 staircases which can be tricky for kid of 2 years old, a child stair protection grill can be useful.

    We had an apartment for a family of 9 members. The location is directly opposite to the cable car of Oeschinen Lake. We just walked to the cable car station and went up to the Oeschiland and Oeschinen lake for some snow activities during January.

    Rather small rooms, ok for just two nights but for a longer stay it might get crowded.

    Nice interior, great staff, good facilities, free parking, location next to the gondel, breakfast was ok considering the size of the hotel

    I enjoyed every second here

    The price of my stay was rather high, but is to be expected for this perfect location (walking distance from trainstation, free parking spaces available and literally next to the cable car to Oeschinen lake)

    Typically Swiss Hotel Ermitage was indeed a typically Swiss hotel, which was exactly what I was hoping for. The room was very neat, had a nice balcony with a great view (see picture) and the bed was perfect. Besides the great breakfast I had a surprisingly good dinner at the hotel restaurant and was impressed with both the food and the staff, who were not only very capable, but also sociable and provided great (local) tips. I was also pleasantly surprised with the idea of a central minibar (with coffee/tea, soda, fruit juice and alcoholfree beer) on the floor instead of in each room individually. Works perfect!

    Breakfast buffet needs improvement and much faster refill. We ran out of bread. Very little selection of cheese and hit meals such as scrambled or fried eggs.

    Nice authentic Swiss chalet style hotel. Little bit outside of city center. Spacious room, clean and functional. Friendly staff.

    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

    Clean. Confortable. In front of cable car

    Perfect location right across from the gondola station. Beautiful modern bathroom. Great balcony. The buffet breakfast was fantastic and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hot tub available for booking was a nice added touch. Delicious wine and dinner time meals. The service was fantastic. Cannot fault this place.

    We are missing the comfortable pillows before the renovation. they were great quality and it would be fantastic if you could get them again.

    The renovation that took place in the last years is very good. the big room was very comfortable.Parking place is excellent.

    They sold the room for 3 people but there was no pillow,towel and blanket for the third person. No dinner after 21.00. there is no other place to eat something. You must drive 30 min. To eat or buy some food.

    Near the cable car, clean and breakfast is good enough.

    Nothing at all.

    The staff went out of their way to help us, we were delayed and arrived very late after a long day of travel. Our room was fantastic. Gorgeous views, comfortable bed, the sound of waterfalls and cow bells was delightful to wake up to. Breakfast was great, a good spread of various local foods and the coffee was exceptional. It was just next to the lift up to the lake. Highly recommend this little gem.
