    Highly recommended!
    This place was simply amazing. The room was very clean, quiet, and private, with a lovely inner yard view. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The renovated Rathaus adds incredible character and charm to the stay. There is a nice restaurant in the property and a bar nearby. One of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!

    Lovely little cafe next to the flower bridge in Thun
    The sun came out as we sat down and ordered flammkuchen ( plenty of choices around 20CHF each ) and an avocado and prawn salad served on a bed of green salad (20 CHF). Flammkuchen tasty and the salad had delicious dressing on....we were told it is home made. Great service- would definitely go back again!

    Lovely castle with interactive exhibits inside
    Thun castle was lovely to visit for a couple of hours. Yes it is fairly bare on the inside but each floor has exhibits and digital interactive boards to either explain the exhibits and to try out some of the ancient ways of doing things. It is very well maintained and each of the 4 turrets give great view onto the town. Easy parking nearby...we visited the castle first and then went into town.

    Great tasty food and Atmosphäre
    It's a place with great character but also a sublime food taste. The menu is mixed from the experiences of the chef, Swiss and Thai combined, really different but extremely good!

    Fairy Tale Castle on Lake Thun!
    This hotel is actually a castle -- gorgeous from the moment you walk onto the beautifully manicured grounds. You really feel like you walking into a fairy tale. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable--they do not have AC, but fans are provided for summer months. We stayed in a room on the 2nd floor (there is a small elevator) and it was perfectly quiet at all times of the day and night. The view from the castle is unbelievable--beautiful mountains as a backdrop for the sparkling Lake Thun. The restaurant is excellent although the staff can be a bit terse for an American sensibility for customer service (which I didn't mind but some might). We had breakfast and dinner there, which I highly recommend but you need to make a reservation because it fills up quickly. I also recommend exploring the grounds and common rooms of the castle. They are pure enchantment. We accessed the castle by the free city bus, as recommended by the staff who provided great instructions via email. It was very easy to find from the train station (right across the street).
