I had a lovely stay at the hotel, right in the center of Meiringen and close to some beautiful waterfalls. The rooms were clean and had all the necessities, making for a comfortable experience. The staff was always friendly and helpful, which added to the overall pleasant atmosphere. However, the dining options could have been better for a four-star hotel, and the rooms were a bit small for a family. Overall, it was a good value for money.
