Overpriced and underwhelming, look for other alternatives instead.
Pros:

I cannot say that I liked anything. The hotel is totally overpriced. The balcony had dead plants on either side. The bathroom had something holding up the ceiling. There was a visible wire "smorgasboard" under the desk. There were a cockroaches in the room!
The person who received us had an attitude from the start, was unfriendly, and it felt very much like we bothered her with our arrival. We arrived on a Hotel "Ruhe Tage" ; I had to wait far too long in the reception for anyone to show up.

Cons:

Our room was above the entrance of a parking garage, so we had the pleasure of hearing cars drive in and out, as well as people stepping into cars and making a lot of noise.
We had asked for a locked space to place our bikes and charge one of them; I wrote ahead about this and this was confirmed. Upon arrival, we were told to place them in the open parking garage (no locked door). We had to insist and then were given access to a locked garage that was available for bikes all along.
The restaurant was closed. They had no idea where to send us for food, apart from a local beach buvette. They suggested another restaurant, which was also closed when we checked. They were totally unbothered by this, and couldn't care less.

Pros:

Everything. Very nice village. Nice room. Friendly staff and good breakfast.

Cons:

Nothing. It is a shame the restaurant is closed at the night we stayed so we couldn't try it out. A good reason to come back!

Kliması yok.. Dış ortam sıcaklığı 35 C olduğu için mahvolduk.. Sineklik olmadığı için odanın tamamı sinek ve böcek dolu..

Vista espetacular
Pros:

Vista absolutamente fantástica do lago Thun olhando para o trio Eiger, Monch e Jungfrau ao fundo. Quarto confortável. Funcionários atenciosos. Tem estacionamento.

Cons:

Colocaram um ventilador, mas estava muito quente mesmo assim. O café da manhã é bom, mas não ótimo... Tinha tudo, mas faltou um pouco de capricho..móveis mexidos por exemplo bem duros.

Urlaub am Thunersee
Pros:

Gutes Frühstück, gute Lage mit Balkon und fantastischem Ausblick auf Berge und Thunersee.

Cons:

Keine Kaffee-Selbstbedienung, man muss die Bedienung beauftragen. Der Kaffee ist aber sehr gut.
