“Great hotel”
This hotel was truly amazing. It was clean, comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location was excellent, and being right next to the river was definitely a huge bonus for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Thun and were especially pleased with our stay at this hotel. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Lovely view of the town, Castle Thun and the River! There were many eateries within 5-10 mins walk from the hotel. There was also a Christmas village nearby during our stay.
