The view of Lake Brienz and the waterfalls are stunning. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming. Dinner was decent ( we really like the venison) as was breakfast- quite the spread. Our room was normal sized, clean and comfortable. Nice modern bathroom.

The location is a beautiful location in the countryside, surrounded by farmland. And right down the street from the Ballenburg living museum. Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful even on a cool foggy morning. Food was very good and fresh. The rooms are quite unique but comfortable. We only stayed for one night and was unable to take advantage of everything. Parking fills up so if it is important to be in the garage, make the reservation with the room.
With the Brienzer Rothorn as background, Hotel Lindenhof offers panoramic views of Lake Brienz and features a herbal steam shower, and a Finnish sauna. Free WiFi is provided in public areas.

A nice place for the travellers want to stay away from the busy cities like interlaken and Lucerne. Never the less well connected with both of places with a travel time of 30 minutes to 1 Hour by train. It’s must visit city alongwith the Rothorn Kulm. The lake is very nice and you can find food mart (COOP) very near to Brienz station along with local restaurants there.

Brienz is a small town on the shore of the Brienzersee that in October was a very beautiful and peaceful place to stay. It has a magnificent view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. The Rothornbahn will take you to the top of the Brienzer Rothorn with is fabulous views of the Alps. There are a lot of hiking trails that are easily accessible from Brienz. You can also take the boat across the lake to hike around Giessbach falls and enjoy the terrasse bar at the Grandhotel. We enjoyed eating at Tea Room Walz (which had a great vegan option) and Berghaus Planap (a bit of a hike). An outstanding selection of cheeses can be found at Chas Fritz. We also just enjoyed walking along the lake on the Brienzer Uferweg.

True gem of Switzerland.
True gem of Switzerland. A wonderful wood carving town by the lake side. Great food and culture here. Perfect place for walks. If you need to chill out without an agenda and do your own thing , this is a good option to explore. Safe to travel with loved ones. Locals are respectful and friendly. Also a good place to make a base and travel to other cantons of the country for day trips via ferry , train and bus (highly recommend taking a Swiss Pass) You can also take a dip in the lake and drink alpine water straight from the tap as the locals themselves do and recommend.

Amazingly beautiful - scenery is fantastic and swimming in the lake is wonderful (we visited in July so water was lovely and refreshing during the heatwave!). Plenty to see and do and train journeys are unbelievably scenic nearby

Brienz has the best of both worlds.
Brienz has the best of both worlds. On the one hand, it is a charming village with traditional buildings, away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and with wonderful views over the Alps and the lake. On the other hand, it has shops and restaurants and it is served by frequent public transport, so you can use it as a base to explore the region, even if you don't have a car.
The location is amazing with the waterfalls and the lake, and the hotel is proper old school grand - very much lives up to its name !
Staff were all helpful and friendly and our waiter for dinner really helped to make it a great experience.
The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were soft but supportive. Slept really well.
We had a room with a waterfall view which was stunning and the noise helped us to sleep really well ! The view from the balcony was just lovely.
Breakfast was great - plenty of choice and all delicious.
A lovely little inn in the middle of cow fields, perfect location for a visit to the Trauffer museum (highly recommend, our nearly 7-year-old daughter loved it) and Ballenberg. The staff and manager were exceptional, and made us feel like home. I'd suggest requesting a room on the backside of the hotel to have a view of the fields.
This was my daughter's favorite accomodations (we stayed in 7 different places on our trip). We will definitely be back.
Quiet location (except for the occasional train). Easy to find. Easy to park. Large, open-plan rooms with high ceilings. Full length balcony with table and chairs and open views towards mountains. Could comfortably accommodate 5 adults. Large kitchen and dining table. Recently renovated with new, easy to operate windows. Great location for exploring Interlaken and Meiringen (both around 10 minutes drive away).
The location of the property was amazing. it was very close to the Brienz train station, the Brienzer Rothorn Bahn, a coop, and some takeaway spots. It had a great view overlooking the lake and a quiet garden in the back. The room itself was cozy and comfortable and had a big bathtub in it. Christina, the property manager, was also very friendly and helpful.
The place is amazing and clean and in a very nice location 24 minutes driving to Interlaken 5 minutes to the lake, the nature around the place is unbelievable especially when looking from the balcony!!
The room a little bit too small for 2.
The host was very helpful and respectful.
Great location very near to Lake Brienz train station by car. Perfect for 6 adults. Well maintained and fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. Recommended place for a long stay with family. Parking available.
Friendly staff, good location. We stayed for just one night as part of a hiking tour. Breakfast was good, there was no evening meal available but we discovered the best pizza in Switzerland close to the railway station.
The hotel offers good value for the money. The scenery is also nice. A steam train passes by outside the window in the morning. You can see the lake just by opening the window. It was a very enjoyable trip.
close to the Brienzer Bergbahn, train station and ship station. Hotel was clean and good room size. Excellent breakfast and flexible to open breakfast 16 minutes earlier.
Great location just by the Lake Brienz. Room was small but had everything what you need for short stay. Breakfast was outstanding tasty and large selection of food.
Lovely hotel with outstanding view of the lake. Good breakfast. Just up a steep winding road so bear that in mind when traveling with luggage. Terrific staff
Eva and Manuel are extremely welcoming and did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
The hotel is located with a great view over the lake
This is a very unique hotel in a great location. The restaurant was impressive and we loved the small stores and food vendors in the lobby/common space.
