Hotel Restaurant Seerausch — Restaurant in Beckenried

Small cosy hotel with an amazing view and super friendly staff.

This was our second time we had a stay here in Beckenried at the Seerausch hotel. Once in July 2020 and the second time in September 2021.

The rooms are not the that big and modern but very clean and you have everything that you need for a comfortable stay. We had a room with lake view both times we stayed here and let me say, waking up here is on of the most beautiful views I've had in my life. The clear blue lake and beautiful mountains bathing in sunlight will amaze almost everyone.

As for the food in the restaurant I didn't keep notes the first time but the second stay I wanted to say something about it as well. In short, big compliments to the kitchen staff, tastefully cooked and beautifully presented food. At the evening of our arrival we got the question if we would like to eat something. Because we've had a 11h drive behind us we loved the idea off still getting a decent meal, take in mind that we arrived in the restaurant at 9 PM. We still could choose from the whole menu even if we where the only people there at that late hour on a Monday, beautiful example of Swiss hospitality. I've had the Swiss veal spider steak with different cauliflowers and french fries, grilled on their wooden fire grill. On Wednesday we ate at the restaurant again but this time we went for a starter and main course. For the starter I had a simple Swiff beef tartar witch poached egg yolk, salted butter and toast. As my main course I chose the beef tenderloin from the grill served with jus, carrots, romaine lettuce and french fries. Each and every one of the meals I've had here we're so tasty and well prepared. Something as simple as a beef tartar even tasted amazing. Both the veal spider steak and the beef tenderloin were grilled till perfection. Both plates garnish was executed beautifully. The combination of ingredients were of a broad palate and tastefully paired.

Officially the Seerausch hotel is one in the three star ranking but for me it's definitely a big 5 stars worth! For anyone traveling to the Nidwalden region I would highly recommend to book your stay at the Seerausch hotel...

I tried to get to 4 out of 5, but need to be honest. The hotel isnt responsible for the view and the view makes up for a lot of negatives in the hotel. ||||Check in was friendly and quick and we had the key to our room on the 4th floor no more than 5 minutes after we arrived. Parking was a bit of a search because we arrived on a sunday during lunchtime and apparently this is a popular time to have lunch at that hotel. ||The room we got is on the 4th floor and is a standard room with lakeview. The room is very tiny! Washbasin is in the room and the shower and toilet are separate but really tiny space too! If you are with 2 and you have your luggage then the room is completely filled up and no space to store anything. There is a ventilator, but no airconditioning. But thats OK. we could open the window and the fresh breeze over the lake came into the room. But also the mosquitos! So maybe they can place some mosquito net in front of the window?||There is a watercooker in the room, but with a very short powercord, so the only place where we could use it was on the washbasin, but that was not very stable. The bed was not comfy, hard and the pillows are non existent. ||The wifi was good and fast!||||Then breakfast. It was a "buffet", but it was very limited. Some bread you need to cut yourself, thats OK, but with Covid? And the rest was just some cheeses and meats, some sweet things and thats it. Coffee was from a machine and juice from a tap. It was ok, but not really memorable. ||We didnt have dinner here because we read some reviews and watched what other guests ordered and compared prices and we decided not to do it. ||||Check out was not really check out, it was just paying the bill and thats it. The desk agent didnt ask how our stay was or wasn't interested at all. ||||So all in all too much things I dont like about a hotel at this price level. The views and location is priceless thats true. But it was like that the hotel is managed without passion....
