Hotel Bären Sigriswil

Location Lake view

Breakfast was great. A standard Swiss breakfast. The milk, cheese and bakes were really tasty The bus stops at the hotel. But when you come up for the first time from Interlaken or Thun you must know where to get off as the drivers tend to drop you off early and it is a very steep climb The views are very nice. Walk to the village. It is quaint and lovely. The marketplace has some cute shops from where we bought some local produce. You can take the bus down to Interlaken and Thun and take the ride on the lake. It is magical. But it closes at 6 pm. There is a panorama Bridge which the hotel gives discount vouchers for. You have to then pay 4Euros per person. But it is a beautiful walk and we walked beyond to a restaurant and further. Later took the bus back. From the Thun lake cruise you are allowed to hop on and off at different points. We got off at St Beatus caves and trekked up to the stalagmite and stalactite caves. You need warmish clothes there as the caves are rather cold. Need good walking shoes as well. But worth the effort and you can have a hearty meal and but memorabilia after visiting the caves.

Other than breakfast we could not eat at the hotel because service ends at 9 pm most days and at 6 pm on Sundays. The bus services on Saturdays are severely curtailed after 5.30 pm from Thun. So we had to take a taxi back and that is about 13 euros There is good daylight in June and July and you do not realise how late it is. But food stores close and the only one open late is the Coop store at the Thun Hauptbahnhof - the main train and bus station by the lake. Pick up food and carry to the hotel if you are reaching beyond 7 pm.

Tasteful and spacious rooms, nice view, coffee machine in the room, good breakfast

No black tea (only earl gray). would be great to have water heater for tea lovers in the room as well. Location near the church (at night the bells ring every hour)

best view & big room

nothing around

The views to the lake are just marvellous, the staff super friendly, rooms are spacious and clean, also I have to mention they went beyond and offered us an upgrade for a room with a view to the lake. Super nice!

For a 4 stars hotel there is room from improvement: 1. King size bed should not be divided. 2. Frigobar, welcome snack and foot wear should be offered in the room. 3. There was an event and the noise should be managed better. Other than that, everything was fine!

Breakfast was ok not much choices but enough for the day. The location is quiet in a beautiful small village. We found out that the hotel is near the bridge that famous after the K-drama series was shoot there. We enjoyed to walk around and took a free bus to Thun.

A bit hot in the room as they do not have air-con. Open window is not our option as we do not want any insect to get in. The room a bit dark.

Clean hotel and room. Room nicely decorated and had everything we needed (apart from a kettle! but you can boil water on the hob for a cup of tea!). The view was absolutely beautiful. Bus stop is right outside and you get free use which was handy. As other people have mentioned, there is a church opposite with bells ringing every 15 mins during the day however this shouldn’t put you off. We could barely hear it from our room and we were right opposite. It also stops ringing for night time.

Breakfast was very basic, cold food (meats / cereal) only apart from scrambled egg, no toaster for the bread.

1.We had booked a smaller room; but because of availability we were given for the same rate the nicest apartment on the third floor with balcony and wonderful view. 2. The bus stops right in front of the hotel and runs on schedule every half hour.

The temperature of the hot water in the bathroom is set too high. With the shower controls easily pushed inadvertently, there is a real danger of getting scalded.

perfectly located in a genuine area in the Swiss mountains, it is clean, staff are genuinely always smiling and want to help, refreshing breakfast having everything you need to have a wonderful day ahead

there was a room that had a closed door between the 2 rooms and our neighbours happen to be very loud so when we shared this concern with Stephanie, she immediately helped and upgraded us for free to the most amazing suite with a view!

The staff was very friendly, especially Theresa. As well the location was a nice site to stay at for a weekend. The restaurant with a sunny terrace has a limited menu, but the food served was very tasty.

The room on the fourth floor was nice but unfortunately only had a portable AC that didn't work too well
