    jacuzzi bath

    Couples looking for a romantic escape

    Had an unforgettable time at the lakeside room, the view was breathtaking. Enjoyed the jacuzzi bath while gazing at the lake, it was magical.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but still reasonable for what we got.

    A Picturesque Escape by the Lake

    Staying in the Lake Pavillon was unforgettable! The stunning private terrace overlooking the water created the perfect setting for morning coffee. Though the restaurant service was lacking, the gourmet meals made up for it. Book a lake room for unrivaled views!

    cleanliness issues

    great location , but cleanliness needs attention

    The lake pavilion experience was exceptional. waking up to the lake view each morning made my stay memorable. The massage in the pavilion was expertly done, alleviating my back pain and adding a level of convenience I appreciated. Additionally, the free paddleboards for guests created a fun and unique way to enjoy the water, which I found relaxing and refreshing.

    The outdoor areas showed signs of infrequent cleaning, which was noticeable and detracted from the overall experience.

    lake swimming
    convenient massage
    limited vegan options

    I loved waking up in the Lake Pavilion and being able to jump right into the lake for a swim each morning. The massage was superb and happened right in my pavilion, making it super easy to relax. It would’ve been great to have more vegan breakfast options available, but overall, everything was fantastic! 🌊

    fantastic city access with stunning lake views

    During our stay, we loved how close we were to the beautiful Jardin Anglais and the fascinating Latenium Park and Museum of Archeology, making it perfect for our city strolls. the place really captured our hearts with its gorgeous surroundings, although we were slightly disappointed that our room wasn't directly on the lake as advertised.

    Would definitely recommend for a lightning stop

    Spacious room, friendly staff, with an amazing view right over the lake and quick access to a cozy bar/lounge area for a snack.

    charming walkways
    accessible design
    infrequent cleaning
    spiderweb presence

    The individual pavilions offer stunning views of Lake Neuchâtel and the Alps. The wood-planked walkways are charming and easy to navigate, making it accessible for seniors like myself during our lovely stay by the water.

    More frequent cleaning of outdoor areas would help.

    I had a fantastic stay in a lakeside pavilion. The indoor design was chic and well-appointed. Direct lake access made swimming convenient. Breakfast options were varied and delicious. The stunning views of the lake and mountains were unforgettable. 🌅

    The views from the Lake Pavillon rooms are breathtaking, and the jacuzzi was a nice bonus. Access to the lake is super easy!
