"The hotel—more like a lodge—is located right across from a lovely (and popular) public swimming area on Lake Thun that had a food truck selling snacks and drinks. It is surrounded by dense foliage which was flowering and alive with insects (great sign of environmental health) when I visited in June. It has a number of wonderfully preserved taxidermies that the current owner explained were trophies of the previous owner, a professional hunter. The overall effect is that you are staying in a hunting lodge in a picturesque location.
The room was spacious and comfortable with a balcony (connected to adjoining rooms), sitting area, desk, bed, generous closet, and good-sized bathroom. It came with a fan, small TV, and wifi.
There was no placard to request housekeeping but we were able to ask for additional room supplies at the front desk. Laundry service exists but the charge is per item, rather than load—more for emergencies, or those who can afford it ᵕ̈
The daily breakfast was traditionally Swiss and ample, with coffee on request and espresso drinks made to order. It was lovely to take breakfast on the patio overlooking the lake. There is no mini fridge in the room.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
The location is a bit outside of Spiez, on the 60 bus line, which runs once per hour in either direction (twice per hour at rush times). There did appear to be ample parking available for guests.
A note for other non-Europeans: the rooms are not air-conditioned."
