Find the Cheap Sorenberg Hotels

We made an overnight stay. The Hotel is around 10-12 minutes walk from the station. A sister Hotel Weisses Kreuz is right next to the station. The location is very good. Overlooking the lake and the beach promenade. The in house restaurant is good. We were satisfied with the dinner as well as the breakfast, however limited choice for vegetarians. The staff was helpful. The room was of decent size, on the smaller side. We found the price to be very expensive, but I believe it would be the same for most hotels in Brienz. A reasonable option for a short stay.

We spent 2 nights in this beautiful youth hostel. The framework is beautiful, with the blue-green Brienz lake and mountains. All is clean and welcome, breakfast is exquisite as well as the meal that is very good. We could only have passed from meat in the evening that was not top. We have a small garden with tables and transactions that gives on the lake. Just next to,a mini beach where to bathe. This very successful stay, I strongly recommend!

We considered to stay during five nights in a wonderful place like Brienz, and we choose the Alpenrose thanks to some good recommendations from friends We stayed in one of the traditinal hauses they manage next to the Hotel, and we enjoyed a wonderful stay, all in the appartment was very clean, both kitchen utensils and bed linens in perfect stay and cleans, Breakfast was included in price and was fantastic, not a huge breakfast buffet, but the most important, the quality of food, some of them made by them like jams and marmalades, next to a superb friendly and helpful service from the members of family owners of the complex.

There were 16 of us for 2 nights. Everyone loved the hotel and we felt very comfortable. The dinners in particular were excellent. We also really appreciated the fact that the 4 children were given special attention. It is worth mentioning that the food was prepared for 4 people with special allergies and that alternatives were served as a matter of course, and these were also excellent. A huge ”thank you” for the commitment, the cooking skills and also for the great service. We will definitely stay at this hotel again and can only recommend it.

Beautiful rooms overlooking the lake, small but pleasant SPA, fantastic restaurant with a gorgeous terrasse and a choice between excellent thai and european food, good service and last but not least, they have bycicles for their guests to enjoy free of charge which is a great bonus for us. They also run the ”Wylerbädli”, a small beach restaurant on the shores of lake Sarnen, which is a short walk from the hotel. The lady that runs the place is extremely friendly and the food she prepares is very fresh and tasty. We really enjoyed spending time ”at the beach” surrounded by such a beautiful landscape and overall lovely athmosphere! Thank you very much for everything, we will be back!

The good: The scenery and setting! The views are unbeatable. They are even more beautiful than in the photos; they're jaw-droppingly breathtaking. And the grounds surrounding the hotel are equally lovely. The waterfall is gorgeous, and the funicular is a fun way to go down to the lake where the boat will await you. The bad: The rooms and the flies. The room was dated without modern facilities. I think we may have only had 2 or 3 outlets in the entire suite, no air conditioning, and the shower was 3' x 3' at most. Probably less. One has to be flexible to fully bathe in the cramped space. And forget about shaving your legs unless you're a gymnast. Then there were the flies. We had dinner at the restaurant, where we were put in the back corner though there were many free tables in better locations that were never sat. We were next to a mirror that seemed to be a meeting place for the country's flies. At any given time, we were besieged by anywhere between 8 and 20 flies. The meal itself was expensive and mediocre, but when you add swarms of flies to the mix, it ended up being revolting. Breakfast was the same. It was a fly-riddled buffet with most items left out in the open for them to feast on. The ugly: The service was abominable. There were exceptions, like one server at the bar and a helpful valet, but most were at best indifferent and at worst downright rude and condescending--particularly the front desk staff. One of many examples: we tried connecting to wi-fi but we never got the code. When we asked the front desk for help, he simply said we should have an email with the code if it wasn't working. Without wi-fi, we can't access email. After explaining this, he VERY begrudgingly gave it to us as if we were asking for something totally unreasonable and he was really being put out by it. Interestingly, they were also somewhat incompetent. You'd think with their attitude of superiority that they'd at least be on top of their game, but no. It took me four tries and two days to get laundry service for one clothing item, and even then, it only happened after we walked it down and gave it to them ourselves having given up on their actually coming to get it as promised. Likewise, when I asked at the bar what was in the hotel's special version of the Moscow Mule (I forget the name), the bartender said ”orange and I'm not sure what else. ” He then told me a gentlemen at a table near us ordered one so why didn't we go ask him. Um, really? Not to mention, they were completely unhelpful and gave us zero check-in information on room, hotel, or anything at all throughout our stay. The bottom line: I do not recommend staying here. I would absolutely visit for the views (maybe for a drink, lunch, or a hike), but the stay is not worth the rude treatment, dingy rooms, and contingent of flies.
