customer reviews

We spent a wonderful week’s vacation at the Hotel Brienz from May 7 to 14, 2026. From the very first moment, you can tell that the owners run the hotel with a lot of passion—a spirit that extends to the entire team, who are exceptionally warm and professional.

The daily gourmet dinners were an absolute highlight: high-quality, delicious dishes on par with Michelin-starred restaurants, beautifully presented and served in an original way. The lovingly decorated rooms are spotlessly clean, and the value for money is 100 percent. We are completely thrilled and will definitely be back!

We spent five wonderful days at the Hotel Brienz. It’s in a great location, spotlessly clean, offers excellent service, and serves delicious food every day. We highly recommend this hotel!

Great hotel in a fantastic location! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. What was especially great: They perfectly accommodated our dietary requests (vegetarian/fish) at dinner—the food was top-notch. The rooms are spacious enough, and breakfast has everything you need. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful 4-night stay; the place was perfect, in a great location right next to the lake. The staff was amazing—so friendly and accommodating, especially the chef. We enjoyed a 3-course meal every day, and it was absolutely delicious and prepared with such professionalism. Great service. Highly recommended

Special praise goes to the warm, attentive staff, who go out of their way to fulfill every request. The quality is outstanding in every respect—you feel completely at home. A very pleasant stay; I’d love to come back and highly recommend this place!
