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 Brienz hotel enjoys a quiet location 984 feet from Lake Brienz, on the outskirts of the city. It offers free parking and a fine restaurant with a terrace.

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.

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.
First of all , it’s pet friendly. The staff are very pleasant and always wanted to give the best service they could, always have a smile in their face. The location is great if you want to go to Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, and Grindelwald which we did, there are lots if things to do like going on a boat tour along the lake or their is a train ride. A lot of activities for the children too. My family and my sister family love it here so much! The food in the restaurant is also amazing! I couldn’t wait to come back.
Two-story renovated section of a charming wooden house: ground floor has bedroom+bathroom+sunny patio, top floor has living room with open kitchen and good lake & mountain views from the windows. Clean and fresh, modern yet with historic touches. Very good location about half-way between Brienz and Brienz West stations (closer to West), easy 8-12 minutes walk, nearly flat. Easy self-check-in/check-out, prompt communication. Would be happy to stay again!
The hostel is right on the lake and offers the most incredible views! It’s just a 10 min walk or 2 min bus ride to the train station and a 20 min train ride to Interlaken which was perfect. I was glad to be away from the tourists downtown. Everything is updated since it’s a newer hostel and the breakfast was absolutely incredible! Sara made us feel so welcome and helped accommodate any requests. Highly recommend staying here!
Our vacation apartment was large with two stories, two bedrooms, and one and one-half bathrooms. The two balconies had magnificent views of the Brienzersee. The apartment's location is directly on the lake, close to the train station, a grocery store, good restaurants, the Rothornbahn, and hiking trails. It was clean, well maintained, and an an absolutely delightful place to relax for several days.
Excellent breakfast, if you come away from breakfast dissatisfied that's a 'you' problem!! The location is stunning and the part of the hotel we stayed in was across the road from the lake where you could spend hours in peaceful tranquility looking at the mountains and lake!! A great base for touring. Parking could be an issue during busy periods, however we had no issues while we were there.
The hosts Christoph and Sabrina were super friendly, the room was spotlessly clean. Fridge space available for each rooms, snacks and drinks too can be purchased with 1 Euro !! ( yes! You can believe it! Most of the places during this journey would charge you 5 euros for a bottle of drinking water!)
Would definitely comeback next time I visit Switzerland )
Great location on the lake. View from balcony was so beautiful and peaceful. We liked that it was secluded a bit and we enjoyed walking 15 mins to the Brienz West train stop as the walk is right along the water. We ate at the restaurant one night and it was delicious. We enjoyed the hosts very much. Highly recommend this hotel. We loved it.
Location is great. It is right around Lake Brienz. Walking distance (longer walk) to the train station and to Lake Brienze. We did have a car, walk to station would be about 12-15 minutes, but coming back may be hard as it is uphill. We loved the view from the house, and had a beautiful garden and balcony to enjoy the mountains.
The view is just stunning. From the balcony i can see the tranquil lake Brienz and mountains also train passes by. It closes to the station yet it is quiet. A well equipped kitchen, washing machine and dryer. Sitting on the balcony with a cup of tea catching the morning sun comes out is wonderful, also the view when the sun sets in
It was called an Economy Room but it was better than many "normal" rooms I have stayed in. Great hotel in an amazing location with lake swim point right behind it. Special thanks to Maria the receptionist who was very friendly and helpful. I cam by bicycle and they were very helpful accommodating that
This was a beautiful place with a gorgeous view of Lake Brienz just a few minutes walk from the Train Station
The Staff were very helpful and pleasant and the breakfast was really good with a good selection of cereals and fruits even figs from the tree in the garden
the best way to get the traditional accommodation in Switzerland villages.
the staff are amazing, 24/7 available at the whatsapp.
the breakfast is good.
surely one of my best experiences ever.
the neighbors are so kind and friendly as well.
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.
