The hotel is beautiful over look the lake with mountains surrounding it. We stay at the room wit a balcony over looking the beautiful view of the lake as well as the Spiez castle. The hotel also offer a free shuttle form and to the airport which was very helpful. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The only thing i was uncomfortable with is the very thin pillow which what i’ve always have a problem with. The bed was very soft but for someone like me with a back problem this was painful. Asides of that everything else was wonderful. Though there’s not much to see, but i would still recommend it. As it will be a resfehing and calming holiday.

Thank you so much for a pleasant stay.
Loved this hotel and it was such a shame that we were here for just one night. I'd return to Spiez just to stay at this hotel again. Beautiful property located in a beautiful location. Staff was amazing, friendly, and so accommodating. We had to catch an early train and they packed breakfast for us to eat on the train. The dry sauna overlooking the lake was so dreamy. Thank you so much for a pleasant stay.

Don't rely on Google maps for availability - this hotel didn't show up as having availability on good maps but did show up on Expedia. Very nice but small room, great bathroom / shower, comfortable bed, sauna spa, amazing rooftop area, great bar and really nice people at the front desk (Danke Shöen Saskia for being amazing). Parking is available and close. Would highly recommend at the price point (which is expensive but reasonable for Switz). I had initially wanted to stay in Lauterbrunnen but "settled" for Spiez...of you have a car I'd almost recommend to stay here instead of LB.

The Belvedere offers 5 star quality and amenities for a 3 star price. The spa options are varied and wonderful. Afternoon tea was lovely with the cheesecake our favorite. Service was friendly and accommodating. Dining options were excellent. There’s no need to stay in less gracious and more expensive places in Interlaken when the Belvedere is a short train ride away in Spiez.

Stunning Views
We had a wonderful stay. We stayed in a suite that was very roomy. Comfortable king bed. No air conditioning. Absolutely beautiful views of the castle and Lake Thun. Metal pool was just okay but there’s private access to the lake. About a 10 minute walk to get to the ferry. Quite an elevated walk to the train station. Food was 8/10. Staff was amazing.

Very elegant property with great spa amenities to include beach access and an amazing Turkish Steam Bath. The restaurant served a great breakfast and provided a white glove service dinner. Unfortunately, we had an adjoining room with loud neighbors which we had to ask to be quiet...which didn't help.

For a 4 star hotel the mattresses and pillows were terrible. A 1 star motel has better. Twin beds put together a queen does not make. A top sheet was not in existence. The property and staff deserve a 4 star. But invest in items mentioned above.

A beautiful hotel and location but unfortunately the air conditioning was broken so we had little sleep. The staff were courteous but didn’t give us fans until the ot was too late. The pool is superb and we probably just had a bad experience, we received a 20% discount for the problems was fair.

Pretty Hotel but lacked value
This property does not provide appropriate value for the price. I travel quite often and have never once received such poor service at a so-called luxury hotel. Firstly, my husband and I got to the area a couple hours early so we called to see if our room was ready yet because then we would go straight to check in. If not, we would do something else that we had planned. We were told the room is ready so we arrived to the hotel and were treated quite rudely by the staff who said that the room was not ready and won't be for another few hours. I was extremely upset because we had wasted the time to come here early at this point. After some back and forth, they finally let us into the room but did not seem happy about it. The room was designed quite nicely, I'll give them that. The balcony and the view were great as well. I understand that most hotels put twin beds together to form a larger bed, which they did here. However, they didn't even fit it with a larger sheet to help keep the beds together and cover the crack, so we were constantly having to push the beds back together. The pillows were also flat and didn't provide much support to my head and neck. It also got very hot in the room because they hadn't switched the building over from heat to AC yet, which I understand but no solution was offered. We had the balcony door wide open, but I still barely slept during the whole stay because of the heat. They should at least offer a fan for guests. Overall, would not stay again.

Dear Mia Thank you kindly for your feedback and your stay with us. We are sorry to ready that you not could fully enjoy your stay and apologize for the inconvenience and the poor communication from our side. We always offer the rooms for the check in, if there are ready and we offer also fans for your rooms without AC.

The spa is amazing and the infinity outdoor pool is such a wonderful experience with stunning views across the lake. Great location and the food is delicious. Lots of things to do in the area and it’s a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the lake or take some train trips into the mountains. A couple of hours to reach Jungfraujoch.

A handicapped accessible room was assigned to me. The room had different issues like a loose toilet seat and a coffee machine that wasn't working properly. There were other minor issues. Also, a handicapped-accessible room is a severe discomfort for not handicapped people. As I complained, the untraint person at front desk firstly said, there is nothing she could do and then offered to upsell... Breakfast room plays loud music and isn't as clean as the other parts of the hotel.

Dear Henrique Thank you kindly for your visit and for the feedback. We regret to hear that you could not enjoy your stay in our house. You have booked a Boutique Queen Room. Your room had a barrier free bathroom – so as it is shown on the picture on Expedia. We do not share your point of view that there is any discomfort for guests because of that the bathroom is barrier free. This is not a reason for us to give a free upgrade, especially if exactly the pictures of this room are shown on this site which you have booked. We do apologize that the toilet seat was loose and that your coffee machine was not working properly. After you have complained about this too we do have offered you a free upgrade, which you did not want. We also offered you a bottle of Spiez wine by the check-out which you did not want.
