AI Summary
The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable with amazing views and private balconies. The waterfront location offers spectacular views of the lake and Alps. However, some rooms include a jacuzzi.

Always dangerous to go back to places where you had a marvellous stay before, as expectations are set too high. It had been 3 years or so, but am I glad I listened to that little voice inside my head: we went back and enjoyed every second again. The rooms seem to have been refurbished a little and they looked even nicer than last time. It remains a unique property: beautifully located, very intimate, amazing rooms, great beds, fantastic breakfast, views to die for and simply fantastic staff: from reception to handymen. The fourlegged friends is welcome too!! The next stay will not take another 3 years!! Simply an amazing experience for people that want a unique stay!

I recommend to have more options on the souvenirs for the hotel guests to take with them back home. the over all experience was really remarkable .. and I really enjoyed the time ...

I’d recommend the Palafitte. Except: when you do your booking, make sure you book directly with the hotel and not get redirected involuntarily to some shady booking site. The hotel will not honour changes and the site (when I called the USA) was extremely inflexible and wanted me to cancel and rebook last minute. And when booking make sure you pay attention to the can cancellation policy. Take a screenshot. I’ve ended up with one extra room und wasn’t allowed to cancel. All in all a great experience except the booking and cancellation (or the lack thereof) procedures.

What is priceless about this hotel is its location, otherwise I can only think of the German expression which so fittingly describes it as “In die Jahre gekommen”. Reception was good, otherwise service and food were rather disappointing and once even downright terrible. Pity.

Service was very friendly but not efficient. We had to call for service multiple times, house keeping was slow and restaurant staff, while again very friendly, not very observant. Overall, we love the location and idea of the Palafitte, but the property shows its age clearly and is no longer worth the very high price.

Food was good, but the service was not courteous at all. Wine list was not given. After ordering the food, the wine was not requested and the food was already served. Food was good, but the service was not courteous at all. Wine list was not given. After ordering the food, the wine was not requested and the food was already served. We had to wait over 30 minutes for the main course and when we made a note to the service staff there was not a single apology for the delay (neither from the chef de rang nor from the chef de service) completely ignorant and expensive if you pay attention to the service. The food was good but on the whole, the service was very disappointing.

The location is outstanding as the whole area is. The service on the other hand is definitely worse than 4 years ago.
