I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was absolutely excellent, with easy access to everything in the charming old town of Thun. The service, unfortunately, fell short as it lacked the caring touch one would expect, with outdated room furniture and a small bathroom. The dining was a mix of disappointment and delight, featuring expensive options but also unique experiences like making our own omelette. Overall, a stay with its ups and downs.
