Perfect staff. The gentleman was welcoming, engaging and 'chauffeured' me through the check-in process from hello to the room door. There seemed in him a passion and interest to hone his hospitality skills to perfection. A small shed behind the building was especially made available for the safe and dry storage of my bike. The room was small but sufficient with a terrace door leading directly onto a sprawling roof top lounge with stunning mountain views. Downstairs, an excellent restaurant.

Help were super accommodating, facilities clean, price great. I did not realize it was a hostel but other than lots of young active young people, it was as I pictured it.
A very pretty town, with lovely crisp fresh air. Fabulous selection of shops from fashion to food. Friendly and welcoming cafes and restaurants. Particularly like the pretty main square. Overall a feeling of safety and cleanliness.

Great wee town.
Great wee town. The centre was beautiful, as were the surrounding views. We ate at a local wee German restaurant and they seemed surprised we never booked! getting around Brig was easy...just walk, it's not that big. We would have loved to have explored distant villages, but we had no personal transport. We'd come back and explore more.

Brig is a central town within the Rhone valley.
Brig is a central town within the Rhone valley. It represents a train junction both east to west and north to south allowing access to the cities of Bern & Milan. The town is quite and has a few shops and restaurants which only stay open for a short time in the evening. The centre of the town is car free so peaceful to walk around at night. Brig offers transport links by both bus and train to many of the ski resorts in the area. Be aware that travel by train to Zermatt to see the Matterhorn cost 150CF for two people. Drinks & food are expensive in the town but it is safe and pleasant to walk around. There are numerous walks along the river and into the hillside.

Good location in Switzerland, with direct trains from Zürich...
Good location in Switzerland, with direct trains from Zürich and Geneva airports and Basel SBB station (a bus goes from Basel airport to Basel SBB), just over an hour by train from Berne. Good hiking opportunities, for example from nearby Naters up to Blatten and further up to Belalp.

Honestly, there isn't much to do here.
Honestly, there isn't much to do here. I stayed here because it's where the Glacier Express ended. I would not recommend it at a destination but if you need a place to spend the night in this area, it is fine.

Not much in Brig apart from the Stockalper.
Not much in Brig apart from the Stockalper. But it has a small and attractive old town centre, amazing views up to the mountains if weather is clear and, primarily, this is a very good place as a base for travelling by train to other parts of Switzerland on day trips and likewise it is only 30 minutes by train from Italy.
The room was excellent with plenty of space and we had an extra bed set up for our child. This did not make the room cramped. Our room had a lovely terrace which seemed to be about four times the size of everyone else's balcony, so we were very lucky! Great coffee machine. Proper hairdryer. All brilliant. The location of the hotel is absolutely brilliant. Very easy to reach from the train station. Staff gave us an adapter plug to use as none of our European ones would fit. That was excellent and really appreciated. Thanks for a great stay!
We travelled to Brig to do a day trip to Zermatt then connect with the Glacier Express the next day. Brig was much quieter than Zermatt and the hotel was a lovely place to return to for the night. Close to restaurants, and the train station and in beautiful surroundings. Such friendly staff, spacious rooms for us and our children, and a delicious breakfast. Great value for money and the ideal place to meet the Glacier Express for the Brig to Chur leg (we did the Zurich to Zermatt section on the regular train). Would definitely return.
The location on the upper edge of Old Town was excellent with quick access to restaurants and cafes. The breakfast buffet was very good and had large choice. The view from my balcony was probably the best of any hotel in the city. The manager (Ulf) was very pleasant and provided helpful suggestions about where to hike and what to see (and spoke excellent English). There was an elevator to my room on the second floor of the comparatively new building attached to the original.
We booked this hotel mainly due to its location which was definitely worth it, as it really is just next to the railway station. If you walk up the streets for 2 minutes, you are in the heart of Brig. The hotel itself was not spectacular, the decor is a bit outdated and the rooms were smelling a bit like in a nursery home, but you have big windows so after 5 minutes you don't smell it anymore. The room is nicely sized and has very comfortable beds.
Breakfast was excellent - home-made muesli, home-made preserves and home-made bread as well as a selection of cheeses and cooked meats... The room was great - twice the size of most hotel rooms, with a view over the nearby castle towers and of the mountains (of course)! The location was great - only three minutes' walk from a choice of restaurants and five minutes from the main shopping and eating area of Brig.
Location: Great. Very close to the train station but also very quite. You do not hear the trains at all.
Room: The room was clean and of a good size with everything that you might need. Modernish.
Bed: The bed was comfortable and the bedding was nice.
Breakfast & Wifi: Also good
Staff: Super friendly and helpful.
Overall a very pleasant stay and I would stay here again
Good communication. Check in with the lock box was easy . Location is at the "Top of Brig" as expected but number 3 bus from the front of the train station stops right outside the apartment. The apartment is spacious with great views and very comfortable.
We spent a night there in a five-bed room. The room was not crowded with beds, there was enough space for everybody.
Facilities were great. We had dinner in the hotel's restaurant and it was fine. The staff was very friendly with us.
Central and amazing position in the middle of Brig.
The hotel stuff very friendly funny nice and willing to.help with everything.
Our room.was very nice spacious clean and with a jacuzzi.
Breakfast was delicious and very rich
Very nicely located, nest to the beautiful castle and old city, near the train station. Good room with 2 bedrooms and big shared sitting room. The breakfast was really good and the staff kind and helpfull.
The double room is EXCELLENT for families. 4 twin beds in 2 separate rooms and x2 tvs, very comfortable. Customer service is fantastic and the hotel is walking distance from station.
Perfect location, a bit dated but in a relaxing way. The hotel had everything we needed for a stay overnight with our bikes. Really comfortable bed and perfect room temperature.
The hotel is a very nice hotel. We are used to come to this hotel as it’s the close to the city Center and train station.
The staffs is very friendly and answer any question.
