Fabulous Hotel. I wished we had stayed longer.
Clean, tidy, well run and views to die for.
No alcohol policy is fine too as there are bars nearby with great atmosphere.
Will be back.

Beautiful location on the water and central in the town. Great service. There was a mixup with the rooms as we had 11 people travelling together, but the staff were easily able to make accommodations to adjust for us to make the best fit. Restaurant on site was great and the breakfast the following morning was superb.

Beautiful setting right on the lake with parking and right next to bus stop that takes you to Thun. Great breakfast. Needs better attention on the reception as there was no one there to do the check-in in the afternoon. Should've warned that the elevator was broken.

Great lake views
We enjoyed the lake view from our room on the 4th floor. It was a world class grand view.
The receptionist were very helpful for our tourist related questions.
During our stay the elevator was not working though. We were there 5 days and we had to walk those 5 floors every time. The hotel staff did help carry our luggage when we checked in and also when we checked out.

We loved our room! The view was breathtaking! The breakfast was ok. This is a no alcohol hotel, though it has a bar, we did not know that - not advertised. When the main waiter found out we didn't speak German, he was quite rude, so we didn't do dinner there.

Great hotel and 3 course evening meal was exceptional. However the real star of show was the sun setting over the lake. Only downside was no AC and it was very hot

Loved the location and modern upgrades of the rooms. Restaurant would be busier if alcohol was permitted. I enjoyed the restaurant next door at the neighbouring hotel and their beautiful Riveria Bar. Was funny to see the staff of my neighbouring hotel coming over there too after work. I believe it's a cultural reason there is no alcohol permitted now, as it is no longer owned by locals, but Middle Eastern folks. Nice stay none the less. Kind tip: The Manager should reconsider yelling at people in his office, even if it's just the way he speaks. It makes some guests very uncomfortable.
