Bellevue

Bellevue means “beautiful view,” and sadly that’s the hotel’s only beautiful feature. The location overlooking Lake Lucerne is stunning, but everything else was disappointing. The hotel is dated and in urgent need of refurbishment, as well as improvements in customer service. Arriving just one hour before check-in after a long train journey, we were refused entry and even denied refreshments, being told to go elsewhere. Our room was in the separate Naturhaus building, with no lift or help carrying luggage. The room was basic, and the bathroom was outdated. The tiny shower had a stained curtain that clung to you, making it an unpleasant experience. Twice we were unable to eat in the restaurant because we hadn’t booked, despite it appearing empty the second time. Staff were consistently unfriendly and made us feel like an inconvenience. Ordering a large draft beer and a bottle of Coke and “chips” resulted in a small bowl of tortilla chips costing CHF20.20. We also witnessed other guests being treated rudely. Breakfast was the only highlight, with a good selection and one friendly waitress. However, the Naturhaus corridor frequently smelled of urine, there was no phone or fridge in the room, and even asking for ice was met with hostility. Although towels were changed daily, cobwebs and bathroom stains remained throughout our stay. The views are wonderful, but the service, facilities and cleanliness mean we would not stay here again.

This hotel does not have frills and the rooms and property is a bit dated, but you pay for the incredible views and location. The room was clean and probably the best view from the shower I’ve ever seen.

everything was lovely!

Breakfast is very good, which sets you up well for the day ahead (and given Swiss food prices is very good). The hotel was clean, but a little worn in places (3 of the bulbs in the room had gone and some remaining had been unscrewed as they were blinding floodlights due to mismatched incandescent bulbs) The staff were friendly and helpful (finding a table when reception had forgotten to pass on the booing to the restaurant) The views are breathtaking

In summer, mountain view rooms are much hotter, as you cannot get cool breeze off the lake/valley. Rooms cannot be cooled by opening the one window -- no through breeze, every sound from neighbors heard, and woken by mosquito bites in the night. Restaurant and terrace lovely. Breakfast adequate.

I love this Hotel so nice , I love the view

We found the room quite ordinary The bathroom had problems with water flowing my husband couldn’t have a bath. We booked superior room and it was no way superior. We had a small table and chairs in metal on the balcony extremely uncomfortable. The best thing about this hotel was the magnificent view. We would not ho back.

Nice continental breakfast and although the room was basic for the price the view over the lake made it worth it.

My stay at the Bellevue Hotel & Restaurant in Seelisberg was truly unforgettable. I booked a room with both a lake and mountain view, and the scenery exceeded all expectations. The panoramic views of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains were absolutely breathtaking and made every moment feel special. Waking up each morning to such a spectacular landscape was the highlight of my trip. The peaceful atmosphere, fresh alpine air, and stunning surroundings created the perfect setting for relaxation. Whether enjoying the view from my room or from the hotel's terrace, I was constantly amazed by the beauty of the location. The Bellevue's setting above Lake Lucerne is exceptional, and the views are one of its greatest strengths. If you're looking for a quiet Swiss getaway with incredible scenery, I highly recommend staying here. I would gladly return for another visit.

The hotel is well named. The views are great from our room and the dinner/breakfast terrace. The rooom is spacious with a veranda. Getting a plug for the bath was a slight issue and the restaurant was very popular so we couldn’t get in before 8.00 pm. Too late for us, so a short walk up the hill to a perfectly acceptable meal Good breakfast selection

Good

Nice hotel for a quick stay in Seelisberg. It’s a 2-3 minute walk from the bus stop and about an hour away from Lucerne. The view of the mountains and lake from the hotel is beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Without air conditioning the room could get quite hot, but otherwise the say was very comfortable.

Wish they had air-conditioning. We could hardly sleep because it was so hot. there wasn't a fan either. Had to leave the windows open but it made it noisy. It's a beautiful place to visit. Would be better in the cool season

Wonderful hotel a little bit of drive off beaten path. What a gem to find! We were so high in the Alps that we could watch the clouds go by from our bed! Fantastic place not to be missed! Trolly to get to the bottom of mountain where the boat will take you to different little towns!

Lovely place with a lovely view. Dining was convenient and good. Everything was very comfortable. The funicular and ferry close by makes it convenient to get anywhere. We especially liked our hike to Rutli meadow. And nice walk into the town area and lake beyond.

A lovely location with an old European feel and ambiance.

The views were absolutely amazing, the restaurant staff was exceptional, and the food was delicious. The rooms were very comfortable and impeccably clean, and the entire area surrounding the hotel is simply beautiful. Overall, it was definitely a 10/10 experience, and we truly enjoyed our stay.

An awesome place, great views !!

Clean room with excellent breakfast. The staff is helpful and frendly
