We are a family of five and we have just returned from a 9-day stay at SeeHotel Gotthard. We experienced the warm hospitality of the Nanzer family and their staff at their lovely hotel. The location of the hotel was ideal for us as we hired a car to be able to go on daily day-trips in the vicinity. The hotel is in Weggis, which is a small village on Lake Lucerne, not far from Mount Rigi. The hotel is also centrally located in the village within walking distance to the main amenities of Weggis, including the ferry stop and many restaurants.
We visited various well-known locations during our stay by making day trips to Mount Pilatus, Lucerne, Zurich, Basel, Bern, Interlaken and Liechtenstein. These were all within a 2-hour drive from the hotel.
The family running the hotel and their staff made us really welcome and they were always willing and ready to answer our questions and queries. We were even offered a free welcome drink on our arrival. We also managed to find space to park in front of the hotel, free of charge, every day during our stay.
As part of the hotel facilities, we were able to use the heated swimming pool and jacuzzi across the road from the hotel, apart from being able to have a dip in the lake itself – also as soon as you cross the road. Unfortunately, the water was already too cold when we got there, so we did not go into the water except once. The hotel also provides free beach towels.
As a family of five, we used two separate rooms during our stay. Both were very spacious with cosy beds and bathrooms, which were cleaned every day unless you asked otherwise. Other perks in the rooms included free tea and coffee, free wifi, tv, a small refrigerator and kettle.
The hotel has a restaurant which serves food with a la carte menu and also pizzas. We ate there three times and every time the food was fresh, delicious and so well prepared and presented. We all loved it. The price of the food was reasonable and compared very well to other restaurants.
We also had breakfast at the hotel. It consisted of a wide variety of healthy food. A very good selection of cheeses, cold meats, yoghurts, cereals, jams and fresh bread with hot drinks every morning. We really used to look forward to it while we were there. And the service always came with a smile by our hosts. On the last day of our trip, we had to leave very early in the morning to catch the flight home from Zurich airport. The very kind hotel staff prepared a packed breakfast for each one of us with sandwiches, yoghurt, fruit and water. We all thought this was such a nice gesture.
In conclusion, SeeHotel Gotthard was an excellent choice for us. It was quiet and relaxing yet it was so very convenient in terms of comfort and location, whilst providing a touch of luxury for all of us. It contributed to make our holiday in beautiful Switzerland so memorable and enjoyable.
