Royal St. Georges Hotel Interlaken - MGallery Collection

Royal St. Georges Hotel Interlaken - MGallery Collection

10/10 Excellent
"I arrived to Hotel Royal St. George’s in the late evening, barely awake - I had hiked all day leading up to my arrival. Rudi picked me up from the train station (a lifesaver!!) and greeted me with positive energy that I really needed and even managed to give me a few amazing recommendations in my tired state. My room was amazing and so comfortable, and I didn’t have to ask for help bringing up my bags or getting set up within the room. All of the staff at HRSG did the thinking for me that night which I so appreciated. The hotel was also very accommodating with a late check out and holding my bags while I went adventuring the next day, and dropped me off at the train station when I left. Ultimately I wished I was able to stay longer."
