Seiler au Lac

I discovered this hotel 10 years ago on our first trip to Switzerland. We were staying in Interlaken and I went for a run one morning to go exploring the area. I came out of a trail along the lake a saw this gorgeous hotel a vowed to stay there the next time we came back to Switzerland. 10 years later it was soooo worth the wait. Everything about this place was great!! The staff, food, all of it!!! BUT THE VIEWS!!!! You just can’t put them into words. This place exceeded all my expectations and hope to return soon!

I cannot thank this hotel enough for all the support they gave us when my husband suffered a medical incident and was admitted to hospital. This was our fourth visit to this beautiful hotel and village. We booked to stay for 10 nights but due to the incident we ended up staying 15 nights, the hotel found us extra accommodation for our son who flew out to support us and kept us in our original room. Every member of staff supported us. The food was outstanding particularly the fish dishes. We had the choice of sitting inside or outside for our meals. Housekeeping kept the hotel so clean.

This was our fourth time taying here and we will be back asap. The location is absolutely breathtaking. Our room facing the Lake of Brienz with balcony was spotless and had everything you need: coffee machine, kettle, toiletries, great hair dryer (unusual for a hotel), compliemtary water, beer and soft drink in fridge on arrival. Loads of information in reception area about what is currently happening in the region and tips for tours. As everywhere in Switzerland, each person receives free public transport tickets for the area/duration of stay. The boat landing bay is 2 minutes from the hotel in one direction, and the bus stop 2 minutes in the other direction. Breakfast is great with plenty of fruit, yoghurts, cereals, breads, cold cuts, cheeses, warm options and more. The hotel manager is extremely friendly and helpful as are all the staff. Cannot wait to come back.

Leo Tolstoy walked from Interlaken to Bonigen in 1857 and wrote in his diary: "Beautiful. Women". It's not entirely clear as to whether he was writing about the stunning view along Lake Brienz or the ladies of the village, but the view from the Seiler au Lac is certainly beautiful. This is a lovely and relaxed hotel with very friendly management and staff, notably the witty and charismatic Jennifer in the Restaurant La Gare (where the meals are particularly good), Jasmin in the Pizzeria La Boheme, and the super-efficient Madeleine in reception. The prices are reasonable for Switzerland, and breakfast and a bus pass are included - without any additional tourist taxes. The boats on Lake Brienz stop just a few steps from the hotel, and there is a pleasant 40-minute walk by the side of the river to Interlaken Ost. The buses to Interlaken only operate every 30 minutes and can be crowded, so if you want to bus back it's best to get on at the beginning of the route at Interlaken West Station. Tips:- 1. If you book your stay directly with the hotel, you can get a 10% reduction. 2. Always book a front room with a balcony, the view is well worth the extra charge_ We hope to return next year.

This lovely hotel is at a very charming location, barely 7 minutes by Bus from Interlaken Ost railway station. We had booked 2 rooms, for my wife and I, and our two sons. They kindly upgraded one room to a suite. Both rooms had balconies, and fantastic views of the lake, mountains and surrounding areas. The rooms were reasonably priced, and included a nice breakfast. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We had a very smooth and pleasant stay for 3 nights here. We are definitely going back to stay there again.
