    We loved everything.

    The welcome from Nicole was brilliant, really attentive and told us everything we needed, also helped us with a Swiss plug adapter! The hotel itself is in a prime position, right on the lake, we were in room 20 and the view from the balcony was amazing. The room itself was modern and of an excellent standard. Beautifully decorated with very tasteful en-suite. There is free parking for guests which made unloading a dream. Breakfast was lovely, a decent selection of breads and cereals with ham and cheese etc. We ate there once and this was also lovely food. This is Switzerland so don’t expect anything to be cheap, but we were happy with the value for money. We could not fault anything.

    Room a little dated but I believe they're in the process of being renovated. Waiter at lunch was rather brusque with us and quite rude with other guests. Food at lunch and dinner was mediocre and pricey for an area that is generally expensive. We only ate there the first night and went elsewhere other nights.

    The location is stunning. Our room was facing the lake. Room was clean and storage was good. Lovely bathroom. Breakfast was fine, waiting staff at breakfast nice. Waiter who served us our evening meal was nice too. Free parking right outside was great. Iseltwald is stunning, but very quiet - everything seemed to shut at 9pm. However, this suited us as our days were very busy. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and are considering returning next year.

    Some aspects of the room seemed a little dated, ie the wooden headboard etc. Equally some of the furniture around the hotel ie the old dated piano. Feels like it needs modernising. Restaurant included needs a freshen up. The young waiter during dinner was not very accommodating or pleasant which was disappointing, especially after reading the family details or ethos within the black folder in the room. I hope my comments will be taken as constructive.

    Location and clean spacious room

    I called reception at 10pm to request extra pillows as commonly pillows in Switzerland are quite soft. The staff answering the call was a little rude and replied with annoyance that they were closed. It wouldn't hurt to say it politely.

    An absolutely stunning location. We had the double room with lake view which had a lovely terrace and beautiful view. The hotel in conveniently located next to the bus and ferry stop. We travelled around Switzerland and this was the highlight of our trip due to the location and views from the room. Worth the price.

    The views, the quite place, the cow bells, the beauty. it can't be described. this was the last part of our trip, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in interlaken ost and the hotel. the brienz boat station is in the hotel itself, so not to worry of going anywhere.

    The staff at the reception (the man) is not really welcoming nor friendly…for a first impression of the hotel, it is surely not the best!

    The hotel is well located, with a great view on the lake and mountain!

    A Serene Retreat by Lake Brienz

    The hotel staff are generally very polite but a little more attention to friendly customer service from the hotel owner would be welcome. We hope to come back many times as the hotel is truly one of our favourites so we look forward to experiencing another enjoyable and entertaining stay next year

    The Strandhotel Restaurant Iseltwald is a charming retreat on the shores of Lake Brienz, offering stunning views and a tranquil atmosphere in the Bernese Oberland . The hotel features a beautiful lakeside terrace where we enjoyed delicious meals with the local lake pike being a highlight amongst the fish dishes. Our room at the top had a gorgeous lake view and a small balcony under the roof The hotel is perfect for a peaceful getaway with its excellent dining and picturesque setting. It was our second stay here and we are already looking forward to coming back again to Iseltwald

    Breakfast could be better and coffee did not taste good at all. There is an extra charge if you want cooked eggs or bacon. We've stayed in hundreds of hotels and have never seen this. Mattress was not so comfortable.

    Balcony with view of the lake was fantastic. Room was clean and bathroom was modern. Waking up to the breathtaking view and having a drink on the balcony in the evening gave us some unforgettable moments.

    Breakfast was very basic but that’s seems to be a common theme in Switzerland. We were upgraded to a corner room, where we had amazing beautiful views. It was a lovely little hotel and will definitely be coming back again.
