Very good location at the lake with easy bus ride from to Thun downtown. Easy free parking. And very, very nice and service minded staff. Good breakfast on the terrace overlooking the lake. Nice room with up to date bathroom. But the hotel is basically old and way too expensive.
Exquisite property with lakeside access. Loved this location! Friendly staff and restaurant staff. Kayak or paddleboard to cruise the lake. Near to Thun and walking distato restaurants in Oberhofen. Close enough to Lauterbrunnen and entire Interlaken area. Can't say enough about the location!
It is actually BELLEVUE no doubt .
Serviced by some very polite Front Desk
The restaurant also seems to have some dedicated clientele , and that’s where they serve the breakfast , though I did not opt for breakfast .
The view of the restaurant is also amazing but somehow they don’t keep it very active for open air lunches and open air breakfasts , I don’t know why
My suggestion would be to have a bit more international continental dishes in the menu .
Interlaken is 45-50m total time , but this place is to see the beautiful town of THUN which we enjoyed more than Interlaken . With the bus stop just opposite its location is appropriate
The views believe me are outstanding , not just the lake but the green village and the church bell just around takes you to real Old Europe but modern
The rooms are very well set and modern , rains can bring mosquitoes a little and they don’t bite I think
Overall a place where one doesn’t mind going back to
I really want to thank the Front Desk for taking care of every request and even the request of adjoining rooms , very courteous people
Housekeeping also very good and even the bathrooms are very well equipped , you don’t really feel that this is an old hotel , rather that’s the charm old setting and modern inside
A Good Stay !
What a beautiful hotel in a lovely, quiet town. Honestly, there wasn't much to do in Hilterfingen - which was exactly what I wanted - but so easy to get to by bus or car, and it's a short trip to Thun, Oberhofen or even to Bern.
The Bellevue is so pretty - a charming old building - but so very comfortable. My room wasn't billed as having a lake view - but it did! I had was a large, very comfortable balcony, with a stunning view of the lake and mountains on one side, and the charming Hilterfingen Kirche on the other! I could not have been happier with the room location.
The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and professional. The room was well appointed, the bathroom was terrific with great water pressure and comfortable features. The bed was comfortable, and I slept very well. When I awoke, the clouds from the previous day had lifted, leaving even more spectacular views of the lake and mountains. Honestly, I'd give the Bellevue 100 out of 100 points. My one night there was definitely a highlight of my Switzerland trip.
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.
