Overview

Centrally located in the old town of Thun, a 10-minute walk from the Train Station, the Alpine-style Hotel Emmental dates back to 1898. Free public WiFi is offered. The sun terrace of the hotel overlooks the Castle of Thun, which is 200 metres away, as well as the surrounding mountains - the ski regions of Grindelwald, Gstaad and Lenk with the Jungfrau and Eiger Mountains are a 45-minute drive away. The bright rooms have high ceilings, elegant yet cosy white furniture and LCD cable TV. The private bathrooms have showers. The cosy restaurant at the Emmental also features a bar and serves weekly changing dishes, accompanied by European wines and Swiss spirits.

Good stay in a peaceful town

The room is quite large. Breakfast is quite standard, but good quality. The location is very good, right next to the castle and a short walk from the city centre.

Beautiful hotel with the view on the castle

Beautiful hotel with the character - loved it from the stairs to the view on the castle. We were lucky to have a spacious corner room with 4 windows - full of light and fresh air. Located right next to the old center and convenient parking (reasonably priced and discount is provided from hotel), bus stop is around the corner - connecting to Train station and Spiez. Breakfast is beautifully served in the restaurant, selection is limited but enough. Regret we stayed just 2 nights.

Met all our needs for a one night stopover

The hotel is in a relatively old building set just outside the Old Town and within a short walk of Thun Castle, but the interior of the bedrooms was far less dated than I was expecting with modern bathrooms. The rooms looked to have been refurbished relatively recently and were great. I reserved a "tiny room" as part of our booking, but that descritption really didn't do the room justice. It was far bigger than I'd expected and had way more floor space than regular rooms I've stayed in at other hotels. I guess the two top floor rooms are sold at a cheaper price as they have sloping roofs giving lower ceilings at the sides and no eye level windows, but my room was well lit with a sky light and floor-level window so I certainly wouldn't put anyone off taking one of those rooms. At breakfast we were given a cheese & meat platter for our table with bread, croissants, boiled eggs, fruit and yoghurts available from a buffet table with that stock topped up from time to time by the staff. The choice was perfectly adequate, although without being as extensive as in some larger hotels.

Super conveniently located. Fast check-in, coffee and tea included and available anytime. I found it cool that they offered packed lunch and asked about allergies.

Great value for money, great location and lovely attentive staff! I will stay there again!

Lovely and welcoming staff. I needed an extra pillow and it was in my room in 10 minutes. I had a mini room which was absolutely big enough with a full bathroom and double bed. The food in the restaurant was really good too. Very attentive staff, will absolutely stay there again!
