    What they won’t tell you about this

    Staying here offers breathtaking waterfall views right from your room! The dining experience is enchanting, especially with live music enhancing the lovely ambiance.

    Still, inconsistent service and outdated facilities can dampen the experience, affecting overall comfort. ,

    slow service
    dim lighting

    I stayed in a room with a view of the waterfall. Enjoying dinner was a highlight, with courses presented beautifully. The pianist during breakfast added to my experience. Thinking of road trips back to this place. I felt like I was dining in a palace with the lovely ambiance.

    The service at times felt slow. Some areas of the hotel seemed dimly lit.

    dirty pool

    Stunning views and cozy vibes!

    We loved the amazing view from our deluxe double room, waterfalls, the lake, and those beautiful mountains! The atmosphere was so nice and relaxed, perfect for us. Breakfast was super tasty. Just bummed that the pool was kinda gross with insects and stuff, so no swimming for us. Other than that, great experience!

    beautiful view but service could improve

    I booked two suites with breathtaking views of Lake Brienz. The rooms were lovely, as described online, featuring renovated bathrooms. The live pianist during breakfast added a special touch to our mornings, enhancing the delightful atmosphere. As a nature lover, I relished the stunning mountain views from our terrace. it truly made our stay memorable.

    At times, the service felt a bit slow.

    great service

    The views from our suite were amazing especially at sunset when the light hit the waterfall. The service at the restaurant was great, I felt like I was being treated like royalty when the staff anticipated our every need.

    It wasn’t inexpensive but still reasonable for what you get.

    breathtaking views
    historic charm
    nature photography
    limited dining

    The historic charm of this hotel strikes a nostalgic vibe with its Belle Époque architecture, perfectly blending elegance and comfort. Guests enjoy breathtaking views of both the stunning waterfall and the lake, making it an ideal spot for nature photography.

    The dining options can feel a bit limited, and meal wait times were longer than expected during busy hours. While the hotel offers a unique experience, the high prices for basic amenities, such as water, felt excessive. Also, navigating to and from the hotel could be tricky, with challenging access roads and parking protocols that require surrendering your keys.

    live piano music

    Breathtaking, breathtaking, breathtaking.

    I was completely mesmerized by the views of the stunning Giessbach Falls right from my room! Sipping coffee on the balcony while watching the waterfall cascade was a magical experience that simply takes your breath away. The whole atmosphere is like stepping into a fairy tale, enhanced by delightful live piano music during meals that transported me to another era.
