Unreal view, excellent food, and a top notch staff. They extended the shuttle time by 15 minutes to allow us to make it in time from the train and avoid having to get a taxi to the hotel.
Located on possibly the most beautiful property on the planet. Old world charm every corner of the interior. Best staging area imaginable for day adventures around lake Thun area. Just amazing!!!
Incredible atmosphere and staff, having a hotel on the waterfall is nothing short of beautiful.
Only negative about the hotel is its accessibility. If you like to go out past 5pm, your return options are very limited unless you are driving. The hotel does provide some free transportation, which was great from getting to/from the train stop.
No AC, but they provided fans upon request. We were there on the hottest day of the year and it wasn’t so bad. Any other time of year and it is probably not even noticable.
Amazing included breakfast buffet.
Restaurants are very nice, but pricey. Good wine selection.
Grandhotel Giessbach is one of a kind hotel, we really enjoyed historical and authentic athmosphere in the hotel. The service was very good and views, nature, details and beautifully restored building with art and historical stories make this hotel unforgettable.
The buffet breakfast was amazing and included in the room rate. We had beautiful weather and took the ferry ride to Interlaken which we highly recommend doing.
The walk to the falls is a must. Altogether a wonderful experience in this historic luxury hotel.
The Hotel has a great Inspiration and the people who are work there are content and helpful in a natural way. They love their job. Also the szenerie is amazing. Very good experience.
A magical place. Difficult to reach by car from Zurich . Transportation from Ferry and train to Intervale would be easier. Sleeping with the sound of waterfalls is unforgettable!
The best hotel experience a person could have. It is very pricey but worth every penny especially for special occasions. We paid extra for an unbelievable lake AND. waterfall views.
Many people know Korean drama "Crash Landing on You" This hotel was used as music school and well known location. I enjoyed great falls and dinner and hotel itself.
If you are fan of Crash Landing on You, you should stay here and enjoy its atmosphere.
Excellent service and breathtaking view. Eating at Parkrestaurant Les Cascades is a must. Their course menu changes every day. Nicolas was a great server. All staff are great and accommodating. If you want to experience historical site- this is a place to be.
Looking forward to return.
