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.
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.
Loved the location, the space, the balcony views of Lake Brienz and one of the best hosts we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Parking was plentiful in the area and reasonably priced at 5 CHF a day between 7am and 7pm. The train station is an easy walk. We were able to walk to rent a boat and to the wildlife park. This is a great (less touristy) area to base yourself and explore this part of Switzerland.
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 )
Clean and comfortable loft house. Located near to Brienz train station and within walking distance to the beautiful lake.
The kitchen was well-equipped, even provided condiments and baking paper.
Also appreciate the complimentary Merci chocolate and grape juice!
We had a lovely stay and would definitely come back again for our next visit!
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 location is just superb. It is by the Brienz lake side and the view from the window is mesmerizing. It has this rustic old world charm and feels amazing to include such a stay in our travel making it all the more cherishable.
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.
Breakfast is on your own and remember to get up early because few places to serve breakfast pretty much stop serving by 10:00 the view was magnificent of lake Brienz and surrounding mountains for view 5 thumbs up!
The best part of our whole trip to Switzerland. Great place, quaint town, friendly staff, wonderful service, comfortable bed and shower, clean. Much better even than the pictures! Crisp and clean.
