What guests think
At Genusshotel Brienz, travelers highlight clean, comfortable rooms, scenic lake-and-mountain views, and a calm, relaxing atmosphere, making it a welcoming base for exploring Brienz and the surrounding area for short or longer stays.
The setting offers pretty views with bus connections and a 10–20 minute walk to the station, though some found it not directly lakeside and restaurants a bit away. Rooms are often refurbished with balconies, but recurring downsides include the lack of air conditioning or fans and occasional comments about compact layouts, light pillows, or partly obstructed outlooks. Dining is a strong point—breakfast is frequently praised and several guests enjoyed dinners—though a few called breakfast basic; service is usually warm and helpful, but some reported rudeness or limited availability. Expect a scenic, comfortable stay with occasional trade-offs.

Hotel aconchegante, recepção atenciosa, ambiente família, estacionamento no local, camas confortáveis, café da manhã foi o mais completo da viagem e estava incluso, fica perto do lago Brienz, tem uma vista linda, cidade tranquila, tem mercado próximo e estação de trem também, também é possível pegar o barco, ótimo preço para quem pretende visitar Jungfraujoch e Interlaken, senti falta somente do frigobar.

Wir waren mit unserem Sohn (15 Monate alt) für drei Übernachtungen im Hotel Brienz und haben Tagesauflüge gemacht. Für uns lag das Hotel ideal um Brienz zu Fuss zu erkunden und div. Ausflugsmöglichkeiten mit dem Auto anzufahren. Das Hotelzimmer war etwas klein aber gemütlich, das neue Badezimmer war sehr schön. Einziger Minuspunkt war der Balkon, der etwas in die Jahre gekommen und auch etwas schmutzig war. Das Frühstück war klein aber fein, der Kaffee sensationell! Es wurde für uns jeweils ein Tisch reserviert und ein TrippTrapp-Babystuhl war dann für unseren Sohn auch schon bereit. Sehr aufmerksam vom Hotel. Das Abendessen hatten wir nicht in Anspruch genommen, da es jeweils auf Voranmeldung war und mehrere Gänge beinhaltete (was mit Kleinkind nicht so ideal ist). Alles in allem war es ein schöner Aufenthalt und wir würden das Hotel wieder besuchen.

We loved our stay at the Hotel Brienz. Our room was very clean and the view was beautiful. The hotel, like most in Switzerland, has no air conditioning so we slept with the windows open and woke up to the smell of baking bread from the bakery a few doors down. The breakfast is included and had a very nice selection. Our table was waiting for us with a chalkboard sign for a personable touch. Be sure to make a reservation for dinner. Four courses for 49chf, it was delicious.

This charming boutique hotel offers a clean and aesthetically pleasing environment, complemented by exceptional view from the restaurant. However, the limited breakfast selection and compact room sizes represent areas for potential improvement.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Brienz. I am so grateful for their excellent customer service. Our train left late due to an accident at the station, and then we missed our following train. We were going to miss the first night of our stay, but they were so sweet and moved it to the end instead. I am so thankful! Also very helpful in ideas of things to do on a rainy day. The room was spacious and the newly remodeled bathroom was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you!

There’s much to be commended about this hotel. It’s a little distance from the train station and most restaurants, but it’s a beautiful spot with a good view of the lake and mountains. The breakfast is incredible. The only real issue we had (apart from fairly high price) was that the staff was pretty rude just about anytime we interacted with them in any way. We ended up just trying not to ask for anything. Otherwise it was a good stay.

The hotel had some lovely, distant views of Lake Brienz and the mountains. The rooms were clean and sufficient. A free continental breakfast was provided during our two day stay, which was average. For anyone considering a stay, just know that the hotel is not directly on the lake. There are some buildings (with construction happening) that obstructed the views of the lake and accessibility to it was not easy. The middle aged female host was humorless and unfriendly, borderline rude. Shopping and restaurants in the area were highly limited. There are other villages on the lake that we wished we had considered for their proximity to Interlaken and other places. It was nothing special and if we could have cancelled, we would have.

Balcon avec vue sur les montagnes *Pas de produit de soins , ni shower cap mais ça semble être la norme en Suisse. Le lendemain on avait oublié carte de banque dans un commerce elle a appelé pour vérifier si trouvé et leur a dit qu' on arrivait, elle nous parlais français et allemands pour l'appel. Donc très bon choix d'hôtel.Carte pour rabais et transport en commun gratuit remis sur place

The hotel, like most in Switzerland, has no air conditioning so we slept with the windows open and woke up to the smell of baking bread from the bakery a few doors down. The breakfast is included and had a very nice selection. Our table was waiting for us with a chalkboard sign for a personable touch. Be sure to make a reservation for dinner. Four courses for 49chf, it was delicious.

The hotel had some lovely, distant views of Lake Brienz and the mountains. The rooms were clean and sufficient. A free continental breakfast was provided during our two day stay, which was average. For anyone considering a stay, just know that the hotel is not directly on the lake. There are some buildings (with construction happening) that obstructed the views of the lake and accessibility to it was not easy. The middle aged female host was humorless and unfriendly, borderline rude. Shopping and restaurants in the area were highly limited. There are other villages on the lake that we wished we had considered for their proximity to Interlaken and other places. It was nothing special and if we could have cancelled, we would have.

I spent Christmas at Hotel Brienz. Breakfast was extensive and very organised and had a nice Christmassy feel as music was playing in the breakfast room. My bedroom was a superior double room on the corner of the hotel. One window looked out on the mountains and the balcony looked out on Lake Brienz. So beautiful. I was also very happy that the TV in my room had English channels on like ITV and BBC so I could watch the Gavin and Stacey finale 😁

This hotel was very nice. The room was adequate for the two nights that we spent there. The complimentary breakfast was excellent. The only negative thing was that the rooms were not air conditioned and it was very hot there. The doors/windows needed to stay open to let in some air and the road that the hotel is on is pretty busy. So if you are a light sleeper, the noise from the road might bother you. The beds also were very firm which we also are not used to. The hotel is in a great location and the staff was very friendly

Highly recommended hotel, easy to access, with plenty parking and close to city and highway.
