Hotel De La Paix

10/10 Excellent
"I know most people aren't as keen on walking as myself, but when you come out of the main entrance of the train station and turn right and carry straight on, you will come to this hotel in about twenty minutes. The hotel itself is big, spacious, and close to the shore of the lake with views across towards Italy. The breakfast is excellent. The staff at reception were very helpful as I had managed to double-book my 1-night stay and we were able to sort things out."
