quiet location good view of the surrounding mountains. Short drive from lake of Thun the vintage style Very friendly staff The food at the restaurant was delicious

the breakfast was disapointing. Not much choice instead of industrial jam would have been nice to have home made.

Personnel très sympathique, mais rapport qualité-prix insatisfaisant

6.0

L’endroit est très beau et calme, idéal pour les personnes qui aiment la nature.

Nous avons trouvé le rapport qualité-prix, mauvais, puisqu’une petite chambre individuelle avec juste une douche, une table basse et pas de télévision, coûte 160 Fr. pour une nuit. Le déjeuner ne justifie pas non plus ce prix élevé (pain foncé uniquement et les 3 sortes de fruits d’hiver, proposés en juillet,comprenaient une unique pomme+ bananes…bruns par endroits!).
