Great 1st experience in Thun
Our experience was great. Hotel has a great easy to walk location and the views from the balcony is amazing. The service was impeccable and without question the room was one of the better ones we've stayed in, very nicely appointed with a very comfortable bathroom, the Nexpresso machine gave it a nice touch. I would recommend it to anybody.

The hotel is new, room size is spacious and most importantly it’s so comfy and clean. The room I stayed came with bathtub, totally love it. The staffs are friendly. I’ll definitely come back to stay when I’m back to Thun again.

The only positive was the Location of the hotel. However, it is no way close to a 4 star hotel. I could not open the window. It was broken. When I informed to hotel staff, they said that they cannot do anything as it was Sunday. The repair can only be done on Monday. There was a live spider in our room.

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Very well maintained. We stayed in a Deluxe room. Fantastic views. Beautifully designed room with additional sofa space, a bath and great shower. Exceptionally clean and very cosy. Central ventilation system though means having to turn the temp right down to get the room cooled. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely hotel, staff, room, decor and dining room. Excellent location. Interior is beautiful. AC in our room did not cool the room. FYI for those expecting air conditioning. Able to open doors to outside, still didn’t provide cooling as desired. Would definitely stay there again. Would try to get to a store on first day and buy a fan. Hotel did not have fans.

Absolutely beautiful property surrounded by two rivers. Beautiful place and super clean and nice staff. Rooms can be a bit warm with no AC but that’s kind of expected in most places in Europe. Great place. Would recommend.
