9.6/10 Exceptional! (42 reviews)

The property is amazing, with rich history and supportive and kind staff. The location is in a quiet village, accessible via different routes and close to so many attractions and activities. The breakfast was great and we overall had a great stay. I would definitely stay at this hotel again in the future. It is highly recommended.

8.4/10 Very Good! (597 reviews)

Hotel staff and their manager needs to be more guest centric and approachable for guest needs. I had requested their shuttle to pick me up from Interlaken OST station but they didn’t respond initially for a few days and on the last day prior to my arrival, they responded they will arrange pick up but never confirmed my arrival time or any other details. Upon arrival, person who checked me in, said they check guest msgs every shift (which was not the case), dishonest response ruined our experience from the beginning. We had to walk with our luggage bags from train station to hotel and upon arrival their were not even apologetic about mess up. Front desk guy and their manager with bad attitude, I would not stay here again as I would spend this much money somewhere else. Their breakfast in the morning was best part, omelette was extra charge, $10 Swiss franks.

Took the boat from Interlaken Ost to Brienz. Beautiful scenery; comfortable and fast round trip boat ride. Took a bus to the Ballenberg outdoor folk museum nearby. This had dozens of historic, mostly farm dwellings from all over Switzerland, plus cows with bells, pigs, turkeys, etc. Enjoyed it a lot for 2-3 hours. Can walk through most of the buildings. Ballenberg, the boat, and the bus were all free w Swiss Travel Pass. We stopped at Iseltwald on Lake Brienz for a drink on the way back, had a drink, and caught the last boat of the day back to Interlaken. Nice day trip!

Popular places to visit

On our trip to Switzerland, our hostess in Interlaken told us to take our Mum to Hotel Giessbach for a meal. She told us that it is situated above Lake Brienz and can be reached via train. We had never been to any such place before so we thought it would be great idea.
.

By the time it was lunch time, Mum was tired and wasnt very keen to travel further. So we had some awesome Chinese food at a nearby restaurant and dropped her back to our B&B.
.
In the evening, my brother and I went on a cruise on Lake Brienz. And while on the cruise, we crossed this super gorgeous Giessbach waterfall which tumbles into Lake Brienz. Above the falls was the hotel where we had planned to go earlier.
.
That color of water and those trees surely had me.
