Hotel Central am See

Delicious lunch with stunning views! We enjoyed a wonderful lunch with our family at Hotel Central am See in Weggis. The lakeside garden is simply breathtaking — the perfect spot to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. The food was outstanding: fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. The friendly staff made the experience even better. We didn’t stay overnight, but this place left a great impression. Highly recommended for a memorable meal by the lake!

Beautiful, quiet location 5 mins from ferry station in Weggis which had little impact on our experience and our 2nd floor room overlooking the terrace and lake was fantastic. They are getting so much right, pristine room with comfortable furniture and bed, all amenities. Shower room spacious and great shower. |Buffet breakfast what was provided was very good but I do think they could have provided more fruit choices than melon and pineapple and cereal choices. 10 choices of tea but would have liked english breakfast as one of them! Evening meal food very good too, although service could be swifter between courses.|Improvements needed, air con fitted but awaiting ratification (apology notice on wall) , more coat hangers and perhaps some artwork? As well as a QR code, surely a paper version of hotel information in the room would be useful?|Staff all competent and professional at all times but not over friendly but I put this down to english not being their first language.

We visited Weggis for the first time as a family and stayed at the Hotel Central am See, which is in a wonderful setting directly overlooking the lake.||The rooms and hotel have been recently renovated to a high standard, the quality of food at the restaurant was superb for both adults and children. The direct access to the lake and infinity pool make it feel like a luxurious stay. ||What made the trip stand out for us was the friendliness and welcome we received from all the front of house staff, very attentive and helpful. I particularly enjoyed conversations about the merits of FC Basel and Zurich (we were staying for the Women’s Euro) and a special mention to Vanya who made our evening meal at the restaurant a wonderful experience for us and the kids. Thank you,||We will definitely be back to explore more of the region and this is the ideal base to do so!

Hello dear Central Team. We came to eat dinner and it was amazing. The ambient was simplistic and the staff greeted us with a warm welcome. The tables are well spaced and organised. We where seated in the winter garden next to the window, cause it was a rainy day. The view is amazing and the terrace is big and sits next to the lake. The wine card is well made and the Menu is small but well made. We ate the Schnitzel and the Pork Duo. The meats where juicy and well seasoned. The sides where plenty and also well made. Plates looked clean and well decorated. Hoping when we come again, the weather will be adequate to sit on the beautiful terrace. Thank you for a nice experience. See you again soon.

Hotel advertises "Self-parking costs CHF 8 per day with in/out privileges". This lead us (and other guests we spoke to) to believe the hotel had a car park. It doesn't. It has an arrangement in a public car park next door. Arrive back and find there are no spaces - tough. Front desk clerk suggested we use parking spaces in the road that were too narrow for a standard saloon car, then when I pointed out several spaces around their property that could be parked upon he threatened to have me towed. This was totally at odds with the previous night where another desk clerk had bent over backwards to be helpful. The next morning I found cars parked on their property under trees in unmarked bays "those are for staff only" the receptionist said, I would have to move my car from the short stay car park next door and park it in a multi-story garage 1 km by road and 400m up hill on foot as after 8am I would be towed. Not "parking with in/out privileges". Whilst I was there, at least two other guests complained about the parking and were told that it was down to hotels.com and not the front desk - yet between booking and arrival the hotel had updated the parking charge on that site and left in the wording that it had in/out privileges. A major harassment and the rudeness of the staff made this an unpleasant experience...||Breakfast OK at best - mediocre with the only cooked option being eggs (you can have boiled, fried or scrambled - can I have an omelette - "no" came the blunt response) and bacon - room OK but has ZERO amenities - no drink making facilities at all (in fact, other than fixed soap dispensers, towels and a sewing kit - nothing in the room at all). Room also has air conditioning, but it doesn't work - the desk clerk said something about "the council refusing to let them use it". The other issue is that we booked a room with a lake view balcony - what we received was a lake view deck shared with several other rooms - only ventilation overnight was to leave a door open onto this deck, so poor security. A slight whiff of Fawlty Towers here but it's the parking that means I'd never be back.

This was the only disappointing Hotel we encountered on our 2 weeks spent in Switzerland. While it is nicely located on the lake, the rooms are incredibly uncomfortable and well below '3 star' standards. The only thing worse than the rooms was the aloof and deceitful management of the Central Am See. They showed no interest in offering any assistance and were incredibly rude and misleading to myself and other guests.

The location of the hotel is perfectly beautiful and conveniently close to public transport. This includes the boats which go on various trips on the lake. Service in the hotel was very good and I would especially like to mention Kenny at reception who was happy to go the extra mile. The food was good and a wonderful breakfast buffet is served. The coffee was good, croissants and bread fresh, a wonderful selection of good quality jam, simply excellent. For those who wanted, there was even smoked salmon and on certain days, a glass of bubbly!! Would also like to mention the two ladies who run “breakfast” and keep things clean and fresh. Thank you.

Wonderful environment. Disappointing service. They don't speak English. Price-value ratio too high. Poor management.

Beautiful hotel. My best friend and I stayed here on our trip through Switzerland. Our room looked out onto the lake and it was just breathtaking. The room was incredible, beautiful furniture and the overall vibe was just fun! Would definitely recommend and stay again

Have dined there many times and have never experienced anything but quality food and good service. Beware it's closed on Tuesday

wunderschöne Aussicht, aber sehr enttäuscht vom dem Essen und der Bedienung: Kellner hat sich geweigert uns Piccata zu servieren, da es schlecht sei. Das Leberli Gericht war kalt und schien aufgewärmt zu sein. Wir waren sehr enttäuscht, auch für unsere eingeladenen freunde.

I waited, waited waited. The girl saw me, then shouted from 4 meters away asking what I wanted. I shouted my order and then I waited waited waited. And left. I wish I could tell you how it was. I'll never know. Life is too short for that place.
