Although the room was small but it was clean and comfortable, offering everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The hotel's central location is perfect for sightseeing, putting Bern's main attractions within easy walking distance. The combination of helpful service, quality accommodations, and prime location made this a great choice for exploring the city. We were able to enjoy the complimentary continental buffet breakfast and we also tried the wonderful dinner to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary. Would definitely recommend and consider staying here again. One of the highlight of this hotel is the 120+ year old elevator and other vintage items that you can see around the hotel and the view of the city from our balcony. We made use of the city bus pass they gave us to have a great time.

It is directly on the water front, shops, restaurants, and cafes are all at your fingertips... it's a matter of choosing what you want to do, where you want to eat, or grab a drink. It is also located right next to the famous castle of Thun which we could see from our bedroom window. It was pricey but it was a splurge for our family. The service was amazing, the location superb. We were able to park behind the hotel even though the parking lot was full, otherwise we would have had to take our car to the public lot several blocks away. Farmer's Market greeted us in the center square as we checked out. This was a wonderful surprise as we were able to get fresh flowers, cheeses, produce, etc. for our continuing trip to Beatenberg. Yes it is expensive, but it was worth it. Delightful breakfast is included with your stay and given how expensive everything is in Switzerland, the meal would cost approx 70fr. for 4. It makes me feel like we got a deal. : )

This is my review from a stay July, 2009. I enjoyed my visit so much that I am adding it here…read more We stayed at some of the best hotels in Switzerland during our 3 weeks travel here, but this was the best. The whole hotel staff led by Daniel Zeigler know you by name and room almost immediately after you arrive. The Hotel is located on the smallest of three lakes in the area with views from many rooms. My parents room was very large and faced the lake. My room was large and faced the trees. Each room had a large deck and each is beautifully decorated in a unique style. The breakfast buffet was great with plenty of fresh fruit, breads, yogurts, muesli, smoked salmon, meats, cheeses, eggs. Everything is delicious. There are a number of beautiful dining rooms and dining terraces at the hotel and meals are served at different dining locations depending on the meal and day of the week. We had dinner and lunch here a number of days and all meals were excellent. This hotel is really a resort... you can sit outside on chaise lounges, sun bathe and just watch the lake and surrounding countryside or you can go swimming in the clear lake. The hotel has Kayaks at no charge that you can use on the lake. There are also bikes and helmets available free to the guests. I took a number of bike trips. The first day I took a ride around the lake. Since this lake is not that large, the average rider or family can ride around the lake. ( If you can't make it around the lake, there are boats at various places that will bring you back.) The roads and bike paths around the lake are mostly flat and the total distance around I think was about 12 miles. The second day I took a trip up Mount Vully on the other side of the lake past vineyards and farms. There is an historic fort on the top and from there you get a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside and the lakes. On the third day I took a ride on the Mittlelland bike path to Estavayer-le-lac, another historic town like Murten about 20 miles away. This town is less commercial than Murten and has some great architecture. The staff is so attentive without being at all overbearing. My mom had injured her foot (elsewhere). The hotel suggested a local doctor and drove her there where she got prompt excellent care. The hotel also has a free DVD library, book library and free internet for guests to use.
