Wonderful hotel in lovely town

Excellent breakfast. Beautiful location. The view from the breakfast hall looking down on the castle/town is wonderful. Bus 65 stop Spiez Grueb is about 3 minutes walk from hotel. It takes approximately 10 minutes to and from the bahnhof in Spiez. The selection of music channels on the tv is great.

Quiet and clean, staff are very friendly and want to help. The hotel is not a luxury, but provides what you need with a very reasonable price in the area. Walking distance to cruise and train station. You can also take buses.

No AC, no iron, no fridge, and no light blocking curtains. Bus to the hotel comes once every hour and it is an uphill walk to the train station. The floor plan was very confusing.

A little bit of paradise

I asked for a chair with arms and they made it happen. They cooked eggs for me everyday and could have had bacon as well. The room was dark and quiet at night. The walk from the train station was nice. The television had 30.music channels, loved it. The view of the village and castle during breakfast was superb.

It was about a ten minute downhill walk to the property from the train station. (Just remember that the return trip is uphill!) The room and property seemed new and very clean. It was easy to enjoy the breakfast, which was extensive and delicious (get there early because food was not readily replenished). They did not offer access to the city pass, which would have enabled one to freely use local transit.

Near the Lake and Castle with Free Parking

Chose this hotel because I could confirm on-site parking. The small parking structure is shared with the hotel next door, but when I went in November there was plenty of space even though the hotel was very full. There are different room sizes. I took a small one which was available. Clean and cozy if you are just there to sleep. Breakfast was good, but not all of it was put out before I left. Other reviews complained about no air conditioning in the summer & beds are soft. There is heat in the winter! The bed was soft, so that might be a problem depending on your needs, but I did not have an issue with it.

A terrible hostile hotel

There was a random wall between the room, the toilet has no door, all the walls were built with grey bricks and the floor had no carpet. It felt like I was living in a prison inside.
