What guests think

Hotel Emmental blends a charming historic setting with updates, a central location by Thun’s castle and old town, and consistently friendly service, drawing praise for comfortable rooms, good breakfasts, and an on-site restaurant many guests enjoy.

Common drawbacks are the absence of air conditioning and an elevator; upper floor access and summer heat can be challenging, and street noise may intrude when windows are open. Several reviews note simple or limited breakfast, though many still found it satisfying, and parking is off site in a nearby garage with discounts. Overall, expect a well located, characterful stay with a few practical trade offs.

Facilities

There is a well liked on site restaurant and nearby public parking with hotel discounts; however, the building has no elevator, which makes upper floors harder to access.

A very pleasant stay and excellent service. We were initially concerned about the lack of private parking, but the nearby covered public parking is very close, and the hotel offers a discount for it. The absence of air conditioning was not an issue thanks to the use of fans and ventilators. The location near the city center and the beautiful view of the castle made our stay even more special.

A wonderful rehab of an old building - modern and clean with an unexpected but welcoming Tex-Mex theme! The employees were all great and the dinner options were excellent. The included Continental breakfast was OK but somewhat limited. We would definitely stay there again and budget more time to explore the city.

We visited Switzerland in July as a family of 4, with two children ages 17 and 12. Parking- There is no parking on site, but a very close garage about 2 minutes walk away. You will need to roll your luggage up a small hill from the garage so be prepared for that. The hotel is very well located to the town, and getting around via foot from the hotel is very easy! Check-in- Upon reaching the hotel, there is a small flight of stairs you must go up to enter the front door. Right inside is a restaurant that is Tex-Mex themed (being from Texas, this was a cute surprise) where you will check in and get your key to your room. Our room was outfitted with a queen sized bed and two roller beds for the kids. The windows opened for a nice breeze to keep the room cool, and they even had a fan set up to keep the air flowing. The room itself was clean and comfortable. An amazing bonus was the complementary breakfast every morning! The restaurant had a table waiting for us every day, and the food was perfect for us to get our day started. It's not a full hot breakfast, but a nice mix of meats & cheese, pastries, cold items, fruits, and cereals. Extra- We visited Thun in the middle of our 18 day European Trip, and had heard that there was a great laundry service there right around the block from the hotel. We dropped off our dirty clothes and picked them up the next day folded and sorted. They were fast and it wasn't expensive at all!

Es un hotel bastante cómodo y agradable, sólo hay que tomar en cuenta que no cuenta con ascensor y si llevas equipaje pesado, puede ser un poco complicado, de igual manera me hospedé en verano y hace bastante calor, aunque tiene ventilador de techo y otro de pedestal, pues es un poco incómodo, pero Tiene buen precio y está con la atención del personal que siempre están dispuestos a ayudarte.

We paid almost $300 for one night and were extremely disappointed. There was no elevator, forcing us to carry our luggage up a flight of stairs. The room itself was stifling, with no windows and no air conditioning. The noise from the street intersection was also incredibly loud and disruptive. For this price, basic amenities and a quiet room should be a given. This was an unacceptable experience, and we are requesting a refund or a credit.

Genel olarak temiz ve konforluydu, balkondan thun kalesi manzarası izliyorsunuz, gece de ışıklandırması mükemmel. Kahvaltı da gayet iyiydi, kısacası herkese tavsiye ederim

Location was great as I was able to catch the local bus right outside. I found it was very quiet - the windows are excellent in terms of keeping the traffic noise out. I would definitely stay there again. checking in/out was super easy!

This was such a wonderful stay for us during our 3 nights in Thun. The room was perfect for just two of us and everything was comfortable and clean. I only wish there were a few more outlets in the room to plug our electronics into, but that didn’t pull away from it being such a great hotel. Breakfast was a great option to sit and have a coffee, yogurt, and some fresh pastries before you headed out for the day. I would highly recommend staying here as it is close enough to the train station (10-12minutes), and close to shipping and dining options. Plus we had a view of Thin castle outside our balcony which was great! Thanks again for a wonderful stay.
