This charming boutique hotel offers a clean and aesthetically pleasing environment, complemented by exceptional view from the restaurant. However, the limited breakfast selection and compact room sizes represent areas for potential improvement.

There’s much to be commended about this hotel. It’s a little distance from the train station and most restaurants, but it’s a beautiful spot with a good view of the lake and mountains. The breakfast is incredible. The only real issue we had (apart from fairly high price) was that the staff was pretty rude just about anytime we interacted with them in any way. We ended up just trying not to ask for anything. Otherwise it was a good stay.

We loved our stay at the Hotel Brienz. Our room was very clean and the view was beautiful. The hotel, like most in Switzerland, has no air conditioning so we slept with the windows open and woke up to the smell of baking bread from the bakery a few doors down. The breakfast is included and had a very nice selection. Our table was waiting for us with a chalkboard sign for a personable touch. Be sure to make a reservation for dinner. Four courses for 49chf, it was delicious.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Brienz. I am so grateful for their excellent customer service. Our train left late due to an accident at the station, and then we missed our following train. We were going to miss the first night of our stay, but they were so sweet and moved it to the end instead. I am so thankful! Also very helpful in ideas of things to do on a rainy day. The room was spacious and the newly remodeled bathroom was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you!

I spent Christmas at Hotel Brienz. Breakfast was extensive and very organised and had a nice Christmassy feel as music was playing in the breakfast room. My bedroom was a superior double room on the corner of the hotel. One window looked out on the mountains and the balcony looked out on Lake Brienz. So beautiful. I was also very happy that the TV in my room had English channels on like ITV and BBC so I could watch the Gavin and Stacey finale 😁

The hotel had some lovely, distant views of Lake Brienz and the mountains. The rooms were clean and sufficient. A free continental breakfast was provided during our two day stay, which was average. For anyone considering a stay, just know that the hotel is not directly on the lake. There are some buildings (with construction happening) that obstructed the views of the lake and accessibility to it was not easy. The middle aged female host was humorless and unfriendly, borderline rude. Shopping and restaurants in the area were highly limited. There are other villages on the lake that we wished we had considered for their proximity to Interlaken and other places. It was nothing special and if we could have cancelled, we would have.
