Hotel Services

“The proximity to Schloss Thun and the old town is a definitive advantage. I appreciate that some rooms have been recently updated, and families or small groups should find a configuration that suits them. While some rooms overlooking the road may experience traffic noise, the central location means the city's shops and restaurants are easily accessible.”
