Hotel berhampiran Air base Bernese Oberland GmbH, Spiez

Very nice and well-kept small apartment on the top floor. Very suitable for 2 people, above that it quickly becomes cramped. We felt very comfortable during our stay and would come back anytime.

Spiez is a delightful town on Lake Thun and we really enjoyed our stay at La Belle Vue, not least because of the [essential] option of the view itself. Fantastic. The station sits above the town, and although it's an easy walk (at least on the way down!), because of the height difference you might want to make it easier still and get the bus, especially if you have suitcases or mobility issues. The #61 to the harbour (schiffstation) runs every hour, at roughly 5 mins to the hour in both directions. This means you can fall out of the hotel guest entrance in the morning to get (say) the 08.57 up to the station, and on your arrival/return the xx.49 bus down to “Des Alpes”. (There are other options to/from “Krone/Kronenplatz”, both very close to the nearby roundabout, namely #1, 62 or 63 going down, or the #65 up at 9 mins past). Incidentally, being able to simply hop on or off any bus (or train, or boat) was the main reason we found the Swiss Pass so helpful - it may not have saved us any money but it was so convenient to have. What about the hotel itself? We had a 'Panorama Comfort Double Room with Balcony' (Room 31). The room is quite small and fitted out in a minimalist fashion, and our bathroom - although perfectly serviceable - looked rather incongruous by comparison (I gather they are to be refitted). It was nice having large opening windows for ventilation as well as a balcony. There are no tea-making facilities in the room but there is a drinks station in an alcove on the landing, which was a clever alternative. There's a lift but it's tiny, which is why our luggage was kindly taken to our room for us ahead of us whilst we were given a welcome drink. The broadband is extremely fast. Rather unusually the breakfast is assembled to order - the idea being to save wastage - but you can have as much as you want and eggs and one or two other cooked options are available at a small supplement. The young owners are very much ‘hands on’ and have assembled a great team, so I wish them every success, but although I've rated this as 5* based on our assessment at the time, I do feel rather let down by subsequent events... We stayed five nights - not least because the hotel currently offers a very generous 35% discount on stays of five nights or more. The booking confirmation confirmed that this discount had been applied, and the net figure was the amount that the hotel took from our card the day before we arrived. Given that ALL accommodation in Switzerland is expensive [to us Brits] I didn’t think any more about it - it was a very good deal - but now that I come to compare one establishment with another in the course of writing my reviews I find that the figures simply don’t add up… At the heart is a lack of transparency as to what the room rate actually was for early August.  I know what we actually paid – an average of £216 (plus £8 tax) per night (the actual rate varing accordingly to the day of the week, with Thurs & Fri being

I've been looking forward to reviewing this hotel because we enjoyed our stay so much. The hotel is charming and probably the best place to stay in Spiez. Very convenient location, a few minutes (walk) away from the train station (they do offer a shuttle service as well, if needed) and 5 minutes (again walk) by the castle and lake. The rooms are absolutely spotless and super comfortable (amazing mattresses and pillows). We had a room with lake view and every morning and evening I loved going on the balcony to enjoy the fresh air, the mountain peaks and the sky (especially at night). We enjoyed the breakfast as well, not a lot of diversity, but very good quality. The spa is really amazing; I loved the heated outdoor swimming pool -- an absolute treat with views towards their beautiful garden and the lake. The staff has been very helpful and kind. Many thanks to Gerome (front desk) for all the useful recommendations during our stay. I can only say that we miss the hotel (and beautiful Spiez) already and look forward to returning soon!

The Belvedere Strandhotel in Spiez was a great hotel for me and my husband during our time in the Interlaken region. Upon arrival, the hotel kindly sent a shuttle to pick us up at the train station, a true perk when you travel with luggage (the hotel is a 10 min walk from the train station). We loved the pool/spa areas, which were great for relaxing after a long day of hiking/tourism. The spa overlooks the lake and we even sat in the sauna while it rained to take in more of the view. The staff was friendly but there was a bit of a language barrier. We would have given the hotel 5 stars but the room was terribly hot and opening the windows would attract bugs (plus it didn't really help cool down the room). Otherwise, the room was clean, comfortable, and spacious.

酒店位置不錯，停車方便，景觀也好。但是入住體驗不太好，很多基本施捨沒有，比如燒水壺。十一的時候入住的，基本上全是中國人，因為房間隔音很差，隔壁説話聽的一清二楚。早餐不錯。

Fantastic 10 night stay at the Vitalresort in May 2023. We booked through TUI from the UK with easyJet flights and train transfers. Could not have been easier to get to the hotel as the Swiss trains and buses are amazing - clean and on time. The hotel is special. The location is very peaceful next to the Lake. We upgraded to a Lake view room which was worth the extra money. The rooms are generously sized with lots of storage space and bed is very comfortable. Cleaning very good - everything is spotless. WIFI in the room was great - we did video conferencing calls throughout the stay with no issues at all. Wonderful gym with a range of equipment and an exercise studio, as well as a spa and sun deck overlooking the Lake. Food was excellent at breakfast and dinner and the service was outstanding at all times. I am a fussy eater and had no issues at all, with staff happy to assist. The a la carte Thai restaurant experience and food was exceptional. Location and transport infrastructure are excellent. The hotel gives you a free bus pass for the local area which was a bonus, as well as a free pass for the paddle steamer on the local lake which means you can do a 2 hour cruise to Interlaken (for free!). We went out and about all over the area for day trips, including Zurich and Lucerne from the hotel very easily. Bern is within 30 minutes on the train and should not be missed. I celebrated my birthday when we were there and was given a surprise gift and handwritten card, which was a lovely touch and not something that most hotels do. Would definitely come back and have already recommended to others.
