Great Location for One Night Stay!
Hotel is right next to bus stop that goes to Thun, which is perfect if you need the convenience of travel. Staff is very friendly and assisted me when they couldn’t find my booking or work the safe. I dock a couple of stars because the room is slightly dated (no free outlets to plug into next to the beds) and there isn’t someone always at the front desk to help (but perhaps because I went off season). This place gets the job done for a night, and the views from the patio/balcony are just lovely!

Phenomenal views from this delightful gem
It is always hard to tell what a hotel is Actually like from pics, but this hotel was a delightful surprise that exceeded our expectations. The views really do look like their promo pics - direct frontal view of snowy peaks. The family room was a good large size, as was the bathroom (rare in Europe!). Staff was flawlessly nice, helpful & professional, good breakfast, serviceable onsite restaurant, and best of all - Gorgeous friendly house cat who lavishes affection on all guests :) We'd definitely stay again.

I would like to know who rated this hotel at 4 stars? This is so misleading I passed over so many hotels that are 3 stars and I’m sure they will be better than this one because of the false rating. First thing you can’t sleep here because of the church bells that ring every hour, every half an hour and every 15 mins even after midnight. 2) there is no air conditioning we went in mid September and the room was so hot and we couldn’t open the windows because of the mosquitoes. 3) location wise it is very inconvenient and far from the main train stations, so be prepared to take a bus that comes hourly to go to interlaken Ost or Thun train stations, the bus ride is 55 mins with another bus change 4) every time we went down to have breakfast and we went early at 8 or before they were always out of everything and they blamed it on a group of tourists who ate and finished everything in the buffet. They should have prepared enough amount to everybody staying at the hotel 5) they didn’t refill any shampoo or soap 6) the only one good thing I liked about this place is the view which I couldn’t enjoy because the room was so hot so we couldn’t stay in our room to enjoy the view

DO NOT Stay at this property if you want to SLEEP! When I booked this I knew it had a bell tower close by. I had no idea the bell tower chimed ALL night long. Plus it has a bus stop across the street from the hotel. Plus the restaurant is below so you get the noise from all of that. ON top of that they had a festival going that weekend down the street you could hear it with the windows shut. It went all night long. Then the drunks would come to the bus stop all night until 4:00-5:00 am. I complained at the front desk they did nothing to compensate us just apologize. Supposed to be family run never saw the owner. The front desk person worked at the front desk also worked in the restaurant. We ate one night in the restaurant. I asked for a glass of tap water. They charged me for a glass of tap water after all the problems we had. The morning after we had no sleep I complained and she said she had no idea what was going on down the street. That afternoon they said it was a festival and would be going on again that night. It happens every year at this time. I told them they should not book people staying in this hotel if they want to sleep or at least tell them it is going on when they book it. the next morning when we checked out I complained again. They offered nothing. I told them they should have payed me to stay here not me pay them for no sleep for two nights.

Noisy Nightmare at an Overpriced Hotel
Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ I recently had the misfortune of staying at Bären Sigriswil. As someone who paid over 400 CHF for a peaceful night's sleep, I can confidently say that this hotel failed to deliver on its basic promise. From the moment I checked in, it became evident that noise would be an ongoing issue during my stay. The hotel's location seemed to be a magnet for all things noisy. First and foremost, the walls of the hotel seemed to have paper-thin insulation, as I could hear every conversation and commotion taking place in the adjacent restaurant. The fact that the restaurant operated after 23:00 made matters even worse. Despite being exhausted, I was bombarded with the constant clamor of people chatting. To compound my frustration, the hotel's proximity to a nearby church became an additional source of annoyance. Instead of waking up to a peaceful morning you take part in the hit song bells of Nother Dame 🔔🔔🔔 I would strongly advise anyone seeking a peaceful stay to look elsewhere, as this hotel clearly fails to deliver on its promises of good night sleep.

The view was incredible. The staff was very friendly and fast. The laundry service was excellent. The water pressure and heat on the shower was the best I've experienced ever. It was advertised as a hotel room, but we got a suite with a kitchen, living room and balcony overlooking Lake Thun. (I don't know that'll always be the case, so call ahead). Sigriswil Panorama bridge is a 2 minute walk from here. The room came with a pass that gave us discounts to local attractions and included free bus fare. I would make a trip back just on account of this amazing hotel.

BEST VIEW AND BREAKFAST!
Best breakfast EVER. It was included for us and by far the best offerings we’ve ever had. The view in the breakfast room is breathtaking. We booked their small double room and still got a partial view, but they have so many beautiful room options. The only major downside (our fault) is that there is no where to eat after 9pm around here so eat before!!

It was disappointing overall. The bathroom was very outdated as was the room in general. The rooms had two lamps. So at night time, we had to take the shade off the lamp to even see. Very dismal.
