Great experience at the Bellevue au Lac

Hotel's Favourite
We really enjoyed our four night stay at this hotel. This is far from a new hotel, but it has been renovated into great shape, and it gets plenty of traffic. We loved the location of the hotel and the views from our panoramic balcony room--fantastic scenery over Thunersee and the mountains beyond. The lake boat service (including the antique paddlewheeler) makes it a very interesting locale, as does the lakeside walking path.

Room was nicely updated and furnished--slippers, in-room coffee, in-room mini-fridge, safe, ice available from the bar. No bathrobes, however. I highly recommend a balcony room here because of the dramatic views of the lake.

Breakfast was hearty, but not adequately restocked later in the service period. Dinner at the restaurant was pricey, but that's typical in Switzerland. Free oudoor parking nearby.

Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Two thumbs up for them!!

I strongly recommend staying in the main Bellevue au Lac building. This hotel also offers rooms in an adjacent building, "Stella del Lago by Bellevue au Lac". At this time, I think this is an inferior property and still needs work. The Stella restaurant and terrace are currently closed, and its guests use the Bellevue au Lac restaurant facilities for breakfast and dinner.
Date of stay: September 2023
Room Tip: Splurge and get a room and balcony overlooking the lake--even the rooms with a small balcony. The...

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The view from our room as well from the patio/restaurant is absolutley stunning. The food and service were also very good. The inside of the hotel was clean but perhaps a touch run-down, and the bathroom in our room was tiny, with only half a door on shower/tub, so taking a shower resulted in water everywhere. The staff was very helpful with extra towels, and given the price, I do think it was a very good value. It's not a 5-star hotel, not a 5-star price, but it was great and the view was more stars than I could count.

This was our second visit to Hotel Bellevue au Lac and again we were not disappointed. Lovely staff who couldn't have been more helpful. Our room looked out over the lake with a balcony where I could have sat all day.
The location was very good with a bus stop outside the hotel which had us at the station in 13 minutes. Being by the lake we could hop onto the paddle boats with ease ads there landing stage was only yards from the hotel.
Views were spectacular with access easy to tourist spots.
The restaurant was a delight and breakfast plentiful and tasty. We sat on the verandah both to eat our meals and also to relax.
We dined there in the evening several times and can highly recommend the food.
We enjoyed ourselves so much here that we have already booked to return in 2024.

Room tip: Take time to relax and enjoy the views.

We have had a great time here this week hotel is excellent and staff amazing. I first visited her aged 14 with my school and 50 years on it has not disappointed. The location on the lake is superb and great for touring the locality via public transport. The Swiss are great hosts and we have no complaints with our stay. Some great food in the locality. The hotel even allocated me the same room I had 50 years ago by coincidence.
Would thoroughly recommend perhaps I'll return in another 50 yrs ;-)

Room tip: Just enjoy the peace

We stayed for two night in a deluxe double room with lake view. The view really matched the hotel's name, Bellevue. The room was recently renovated and extremely clean. Its location is great for walking along side the lake. You don't need to take your car since it's close to a bus stop and you can ask for free tickets (i.e. panorama card) during your whole stay. The stuff were really friendly and helpful.
The only drawback was the breakfast which wasn't worth the price (12 fr. per person per day) although to their defense, their restaurant was closed during the low season and it was a self-service breakfast.
We will definitely return to this hotel whenever visiting Thun/Interlaken.

Room tip: Ask for the panorama card which include free bus tickets and discounts in many places.
