The only positive was the Location of the hotel. However, it is no way close to a 4 star hotel. I could not open the window. It was broken. When I informed to hotel staff, they said that they cannot do anything as it was Sunday. The repair can only be done on Monday. There was a live spider in our room.

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Very well maintained. We stayed in a Deluxe room. Fantastic views. Beautifully designed room with additional sofa space, a bath and great shower. Exceptionally clean and very cosy. Central ventilation system though means having to turn the temp right down to get the room cooled. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely hotel, staff, room, decor and dining room. Excellent location. Interior is beautiful. AC in our room did not cool the room. FYI for those expecting air conditioning. Able to open doors to outside, still didn’t provide cooling as desired. Would definitely stay there again. Would try to get to a store on first day and buy a fan. Hotel did not have fans.

Absolutely beautiful property surrounded by two rivers. Beautiful place and super clean and nice staff. Rooms can be a bit warm with no AC but that’s kind of expected in most places in Europe. Great place. Would recommend.

Our standard room was very small. The washbasin at the side of the bed was awkward. The air con didn’t seem to work and it was very hot. The hotel itself and the staff were very good, the location is excellent, the breakfast was nice and the car park was underneath and was secure.

Our room was 218, the BEST room in the hotel, overlooking the wooden bridge. Slept every night with doors open listening to the rush of the water. Staff were nice and helpful. Thun is a small town but very quaint and worth a short visit. No better hotel than Hotel Aare Thun.

What a nice surprise to stay is such a pristine and tastefully designed hotel!! Freshly remodeled and perfectly centrally located. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. It didn’t matter so much that it rained the entire week we were there because the town and the hotel were very comfortable.
