The hotel and general area was very peaceful. The hospitality was great, and the staff made us feel right at home. The view from the hotel is amazing, being close to both the mountains and the lake. It was also very convenient to drive to beautiful cities, such as Bern, Thun, the local Brienz, and Grindelwald is also not too far. Certainly has a more cottage vibe, but it adds to the experience. Would 10/10 recommend for an authentic Swiss experience.

I wish I had an option for a zero-star rating for this hotel. They provided us with a broken folding bed for my five-year-old son. The dinner buffet was set up for another group party. Actually, the food was leftover. I say this is terrible.

The staff was amazing! This was the best place we stayed during our 10 day road trip through Europe. The breakfast was delicious and the little details made you feel special. The room was clean and accommodating to 3 adults, I was traveling with my 2 adult children. They even gave me a gift at checkout.

This hotel is located in the most peaceful, beautiful valley. It is a real retreat! The staff members are very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is magnificent--variety, replenished, attentive staff. Parking is easy; rooms are spacious; soup & cocoa snacks are a bonus. Plus there are cute cow statues and a kugelweg (marble run) in the playground nearby.

Didn't enjoy the apartment - otherwise nice hotel.

We booked a standard room but due to a double booking, we were put up in the apartment. This is right next door to the hotel. I cannot speak for what the regular rooms are like, but the apartment appears to have not been updated since the 1950s. It was like an old cabin with creaky floors (could hear everything from the people above and outside). The beds were not comfortable. The bathroom was old and cramped. The apartment had plenty of room to spread out but I really think we would have preferred a regular room. The location is nice, just outside of Brienz. The dining room in the hotel was very nice and the breakfast was good.
