Beautiful, well thought out rooms. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Loved the coffee/tea bar located on the third floor. The breakfast was fabulous- Huge selection of choices and very tasty. Enjoyed the outdoors restaurant- food very good and the outdoors areas were stunning. Wish food service in the outside garden went into the evening as it suited all age groups.

Solo Birthday Stay

Historic Hotel with a Waterfall on the grounds for my solo Birthday trip. Beautiful grounds but definitely not a flawless stay as I had hoped it would be for the price. Highlights were the very clean & cosy room, & endless views of the glacier Brienzersee Lake!

We've just returned from a 2 night stay at the Grandhotel Giessbach and wow, what a place! The hotel is certainly grand and is located in the most beautiful location I've ever seen, overlooking Lake Brienz with the Giessbach falls only metres away! The staff were all very pleasant, the breakfast was great, the bar was lovely, the Les Cascades restaurant was lovely, the surrounding park and trails were truly beautiful! However, my only complaint is that we had to pay 15CHF per night for parking. I think for the price you pay to stay at the hotel, parking should be included for that price

The best way to describe this hotel is: straight out of a fairytale! The view from literally anywhere you look are absolutely spectacular. The hotel is 150 years old but they have done an outstanding job at conserving it authentic and classic look but with some modern and classic touches for comfort. You feel like you are transported in a time-capsule machine to a classic, glamorous and beautiful place. Certainly an experience that I would highly recommend
