Altogether a wonderful experience in this historic luxury hotel." - "The property has great views of the lake and is convenient to get to if you have a car.

- "We loved our stay at the Hotel Brienz. Our room was very clean and the view was beautiful. The hotel, like most in Switzerland, has no air conditioning so we slept with the windows open and woke up to the smell of baking bread from the bakery a few doors down. The breakfast is included and had a very nice selection. Our table was waiting for us with a chalkboard sign for a personable touch. Be sure to make a reservation for dinner. Four courses for 49chf, it was delicious. "
