Reviews for Hotel Palafitte
Real Excellence
Second time we have stayed here. What a fabulous concept. The rooms are the size of a one bed apartment and very much a design experience. The staff are fabulous and couldn’t be more helpful. Great breakfasts. The main restaurant we are sure would be fabulous but the prices are eye watering, even by Swiss standards. Love the free travel pass and used it use the buses to explore downtown Neuchatel. Maybe try to find a way to discourage the seagulls from their very loud dawn chorus! We will return

Relaxing, luxurious, pricy
In summer it feels like in Greece without the hassle of having to fly there, but very pricy for 1000 chf per night. The house on stilts is definitely something for you, if an interesting design speaks to you.

Perfection at the Lake
Back to Palafitte after almost 15 years - neither has the location and the view changed, nor the excellent service and restaurant - we will be back ...
