I had a great stay at this hotel, which is located right in the center of Andermatt, next to the river. The rooms were spacious, beautiful, and exceptionally clean. The service from the staff was absolutely wonderful and made my experience even better. However, the dining options could use some improvement as it didn't fully meet my expectations for a hotel of this caliber.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, nestled in the heart of Andermatt beside the river. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but it was a bit disappointing that there was no air conditioning or safety box. The staff was absolutely wonderful, always ready to help, making the experience even better. The dining options, while of high quality, lacked a complete selection of traditional Swiss foods.

The hotel has a beautiful riverside location which makes it special to stay at. The rooms, while small, offer lovely views but can be noisy due to live music from the patio.
