The room was clean and nicely sized. There was a huge step to get to the bed. Almost 40cm tall. I don’t think it is safe for most of the people to stay in such room.

We love the area of Sachsen by and the location was excellent! The history of the hotel also makes it more than special. There is even a museum within a few steps explaining a lot of Brother Klaus and the history of the area. Train station is close to visit the Aareschlucht, Brienz, Interlacken. Perfect spot. On the downside, be prepared to arrive minimum after 3pm with an email and IT savy which instructs on how to check in. No problem once the email is available and from there you have full access to the new(ly) renovated building. If you love church bells you are in luck but -otherwise-beware! The noise of the towers is only a few meters out your window and is tremendous from 6:45 am to 10 pm every fifteen minutes. That noise and the major road on the corner make for a lot of noise.

The room and the hotel were satisfactory. The only potential issue is that there is no staff at reception upon your arrival, and you must check in on your cellphone. Alternatively, you can call someone at their number, and they will check you in. Everything is online, hence it is a point to consider if you are not comfortable with online management of your booking. Sachseln is a beautiful place and Hotel Kreuz is within walking distance from the train station.

Great hotel for my purposes. Very nice room and everythings worked and the breakfast buffet was fine. But you would expect a little more when you look at the price. The check-in is done on a screen and there were no people to help.

Nice hotel. Great view of the lake. Hotel restaurant dinner was excellent and the staff were very attentive. Nice wine list. Self-checkin was a little weird. Room a nice size. Large bathroom. Perfect for small family. Only issue was the town clock tower is 25 meters away and very loud. It did not ring all night, but 200 bells at 0700 was a wake up!

Adorable hotel. Staff was unbelievably helpful and nice finding us a baby crib and storing refrigerated items overnight. Short walk to the lake. Highly recommend. Just be aware the church is right next door so the bells will wake you up in the morning if you are a light sleeper and want to sleep in late but it added to the atmosphere.

Talking about a room with a view? Try to get room 22 or the one on the 3rd floor directly above for an astonishing view. The hotel itself is neat and clean, and including sauna and steambad, very nice! The breakfast buffet was up to our standard and the surroundings in the Swiss alps has been as always brilliant. So all and all a very nice stay, we didn’t extend our stay with another day for nothing! (small note on the downside, extending our stay was a bit of a hassle due to the automated check in process and the absence of a real person at a front desk.)

Where to start? The pictures you see may or may not be where you stay. Our room is on the 3rd floor of a wooden old building that can be best described as a huge fire hazard with no alternative exit, but that is not where the bad ends. The room was furnished with what can best be described as old furniture that may have been salvaged from the curb, combined with more modern pieces from the local super cheap version of Ikea's sister company . The curtains were last washed when installed, the window shutters, were only partially there, etc etc etc. When I called the help desk to say that I doubted it was even legal to put guests in a room with no fire exit and 0 chance of escape or survival in such a building I was moved down to a suite which was equally furnished, just bigger... Shameful is the only thing that comes to mind, this hotel is shameful.
