The hotel boasts a prime location in Andermatt, right by a picturesque river and central to the town's attractions. The accommodations are quirky and clean, with a charming atmosphere. However, the service left something to be desired, particularly during meal times. Overall, a delightful stay but with room for improvement in the service area.

We had a wonderful stay at The River House, a charming bed and breakfast with friendly owners who really went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. The food at the attached restaurant was absolutely delightful, especially breakfast with its lovely variety. However, the room was a bit quirky with some low ceilings and a small shower stall, which might not be for everyone. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy beautiful Andermatt.

The River House is a delightful boutique hotel with a charming atmosphere and engaging staff that made my stay feel very personal. The room offered a relaxing ambiance with lovely river views, though the low ceilings may not suit everyone. The dining experiences, especially breakfast, were enjoyable, featuring high-quality local products. Located conveniently in Andermatt, it’s close to scenic walking trails, which I appreciated. However, the lack of an elevator might be a drawback for those with mobility concerns.

However, I did find the bedside charging options somewhat limited, which could be a minor inconvenience. Despite that, the overall experience exceeded my expectations, and I would love to return.
