Top Sarnen Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel Beau Rivage Interlaken

10/10 Excellent

"Like going back in time. Classical European hotel. Had a gorgeous spacious suite. Bathroom fixtures were a bit dated and the shower/tub was unusually high and difficult to get in and out of. But location was fantastic. 2 minute walk to take the funicular up to Harder Kulm. 3 minute walk to Interlaken Ost train station. Plenty of dining and shopping options within walking distance. If you are looking for a hotel in the central Interlaken area this is a very nice option."

Hotel Central Luzern

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location! The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The water in the shower did go hot/cold but it wasn’t too bad. I would highly recommend this hotel."

Hotel Berghof Amaranth

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is more beautiful than the pictures show. The view from the property and from our balcony was breathtaking. The sounds of cow bells and the animals all around us were an extra perk. We loved it so much we ended up extending our stay. I am a tad hard to please and very critical, I almost never come back to the same hotel twice, but I think this one might be an exception. The location is perfect, close to town and all the places we wanted to visit, this is a perfect base for day trips."
