Hotel Central am See - Beau Rivage Collection

This is a 3+ star hotel which is probably an accurate rating. Staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant was good although we were half board which meant you had to eat off a special limited half board menu, which was still very good quality. We were surprised to be charged nearly £5 for a jug of tap water in the restaurant but I've been told this is normal for Switzerland? Location is great just a minute or so from the ferry turmoil and village centre. Try and get a lade or side lake room as the views are fantastic! Only downside was the the pool and pool area where out of bounds as the pool was being rebuilt!

Passed by hotel recently but decided not to go in. Had a really weird experience during a visit in August. We went to the restaurant to eat lunch during our bike ride and the waiter, a middle-aged man with tattoos, said that the kitchen just closed and lunch was no longer served, and asked in very unpleasant way where are we from, maybe he noticed the Ukrainian flag on my phone. My partner, in turn, asked the same question - the waiter turned out to be of Russian-Hungarian roots. Snacks were ok and ice cream almost same taste as from Mövenpick, but overpriced.

Hotel with a lovely view, staffs are friendly and helpful.

Stayed for five days. On day two we were already feeling extremely relaxed and as if we had been there much longer. On arrival we were welcomed very warmly by the manager. Our room and bathroom were clean, clean, clean. The room has a mini fridge. Drinks can be ordered from reception. The view from the room was of the lake and the mountains. Absolutely breathtaking. The ferries closely passing by going to the nearby boat station are a joy to watch. The hotel swimming pool was only newly built last May. Very much like an infinity pool. There is also a facility to enter the lake to swim. Breakfast is served, in buffet form, in the Grande Salle, which is very light and airy with lovely views of the lake and mountains. You can also eat outside, right next to the lake, on the residents' terrace. You also eat your evening meal in the Grande Salle, if on half board. Residents can also eat in the Wintergarden Restaurant or on the restaurant's outside terrace. The a-la-carte menu is very varied. Something for everyone. The food served is excellent served by a team of very efficient waiters. Weggis is a brilliant place for a walking or sightseeing holiday. There are plenty of cafes and also a supermarket. The bus service, which leaves near the bus station, is very efficient. Trains run from nearby Vitznau. We would most definitely recommend a stay at The Central am See, Weggis, for a fabulous holiday with superb service with restaurant.

Beautiful view of the water and a quaint town. Very clean. Several things to do. Many places to eat and transportation by a boat to Lucerne.

The location and the lakeside pool are amazing. Food for breakfast and dinner were superb as was the service. The mattresses were too hard though.

We had a nice stay, beautiful nature and hiking. The hotel is nice and placed on the base of Weggis.

My comments confirm some of the previous viewers comments. At the start I am reviewing a 3* hotel. I could have stayed in a 4 or 5 * hotel but was pleased to read previous comments and stayed in this perfectly positioned hotel. It is only a couple of hundred yards from the ferry and has outstanding views of the lake. I had room 222 a superior room with a balcony from both the bedroom and the bathroom. Being a side room there were two further windows with views of the lake. While there the temperature was over 30/degrees most days so having 4 windows it provided a bit of air flow as there is no air conditioning in the Hotel. The balconies have an awning which was a bonus. The rooms are basic and clean. The staff were mostly great. I was on a package holiday so had a fixed menu. This was slightly disappointing as there was only a choice of salad or soup then either a meat course/fish course/ or vegetarian. There was no choice of desert. I think the Hotel could have offered more choice and if it ever wishes to be a 4* star hotel then this is a must. The food was nicely presented and well prepared. The restaurant must have a good reputation as at weekends there were considerable number of none residents dining there. Being on a fixed menu I was not seated in the proper restaurant for the evening meal but was seated in the Stuble when not eating outside. You did feel like a second class guest on this occasion. Breakfasts were fine. The Hotel has no lounge which is possibly another reason why it is classed as a 4 star hotel. However, there is a lovely infinity pool which was such a treat in the excessive heat. Overall, a great hotel but it can only be measured against other 3 star hotels.

So helpful and understanding on our arrival. Breakfast buffet is one of the best I have seen and I've seen many!!
