We love everything about this property, except the room layout - the sink is outside the bathroom and the sink counter is made of some kind of leather.

Property is recently renovated and very stylish, with a consistent aesthetic throughout. Furnishing and finishings are well thought out, modern, and luxurious. The property itself is ideally situated, with lovely views of the Aare River, the historic covered bridge/dam, and the architecturally interesting surrounding buildings. Our room was comfortable, clean, and very functional. Very nice shower. Balconies are great. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and got us into our room early. We will definitely stay here again!

Einzigartig war das Frühstück, sehr leckere Käseauswahl. Allerdings das Zimmer selbst war unter aller Sau: Die Lüftung im Bad war extrem laut, man konnte diese nur ausschalten, indem man die Zimmerkarte rausnahm und damit den ganzen Strom ausmachte. Auf Nachfrage erklärte mir die Frau an der Rezeption: Dies sei in diesem Zimmer fehlerhaft. Wir könnten zu einem anderen Zimmer wechseln. Um 9 Uhr abends? Nein. das geht wirklich nicht. Zudem genau dieses Zimmer sogar 40 Franken Aufpreis waren wg. "Blick auf den Fluss".

Sehr geehrte MarianHerzlichen Dank für Ihre gute Rückmeldung zu unserem Frühstücksbuffet. Wir bedauern sehr, dass Sie mit unserem Zimmer Probleme hatten. Zimmerwechsel können bei uns 24h gemacht werden. Sie hatten sich für ein Deluxe Zimmer entschieden, welches CHF 40.00 teurer ist als unsere Boutique Zimmer. Alle haben Aaresicht. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bei einem weiteren Aufenthalt auch von unserer Zimmer-Qualität zu überzeugen.Freundliche GrüsseHotel Aare Thun Team

Great location, rude staff
Overall, it was not a good experience due to the unfriendliness of the staff at the reception desk. The facilities were good given that the hotel has been recently renovated. We could still smell the chemicals used for renewing the building (this wasn’t an issue but gives an idea of how new it all was). The staff at the reception was simply rude and unfriendly. They seemed to be angry at having guests arriving. After staying in Zermatt and Zürich where we were welcomed to our stay, here it was as if we were bothering by checking in. I believe management should address this, as the location and facilities are great, but arriving and feeling unwelcomed is not the best feeling when staying at a hotel. If service is improved, I would definitely come back.

Overall a generally good stay at Hotel Aare with some hiccups. The rooms are newly renovated in a nice style. While the rooms are very small they were clever with the placements. For a few days if you are not around much the rooms would suffice but for a relaxing longer stay/more than 1 person a bigger room would be recommended. Unfortunately on one of the days I was woken up around 7am by drilling but I hope this was an exception. The rooms were also very cold and reception was not informed on how to heat them up, despite asking twice since the climatisation didn’t work. After some searching I found a radiator hidden behind a curtain, which reception was totally unaware of and never informed of before. Restaurant food was great!
