BERG & BERG APARTMENTS - Spiez Self-Check-in

Finding a hotel in Spiez that met my criteria was a bit challenging. I needed a kitchen for breakfast and dinner, two large beds, and a room no smaller than 30 square meters. Despite mixed reviews online, I decided to give this guesthouse a try. **Pros:** It's a 7-minute walk from the train station, which is a big plus considering how hilly the area is – lugging luggage would have been much harder if it were further. The room was spacious enough, even with the sofa bed pulled out. The kitchen was well-equipped with a stove, utensils, and a fridge, though there were no condiments like oil, salt, vinegar, or soy sauce. **Cons:** This guesthouse has five rooms. Two are downstairs, and these don't offer great lake views. There's no elevator, and the hallways are narrow. All the linens, including towels, bath sheets, pillows, and bedsheets, were quite old. There were no toiletries or shower amenities, so you need to bring your own. In my room (number 02), the bathroom door was swollen and wouldn't close properly, and the shower leaked. There's no air conditioning, only a basic electric fan, though both the bedroom and living room have ceiling fans with lights. I'd advise caution if temperatures are expected to exceed 28 degrees Celsius.

Great, super spacious room and a large bathroom too. The only minor inconvenience is that there's no front desk and check-in is self-service, which can be a bit tricky. Other than that, everything's fantastic, and the view is beautiful.

A really great small hotel, the rooms are spacious, clean, and tidy! The view from the window is beautiful, you can see mountains, a lake, and vineyards. It's just a few minutes' walk to Spiez train station, the town center, the castle, and a large supermarket. My wife and I will definitely choose this hotel again when we come back to Switzerland! (Suggestions: 1. It would be even more convenient if the self-check-in webpage also had a Chinese version; 2. It would be great if there was a safe in the room for guests to store passports, etc.)

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It was raining on the day we left, and they even helped us hail a taxi. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit.

The balcony has a nice view, but the only mirror in the entire house is in the bathroom, which is very inconvenient for makeup application. There's no washing machine, and the dishwasher is broken. The location and check-in process are very convenient.

Check-in was a hassle; I spent ages doing it online. I had to long-press a button on the webpage to open the door. There's a balcony with a lake view. The toiletries in the room were basic, and there were no slippers. The kitchen was relatively well-equipped, but there were no seasonings. It's quite convenient, being close to both the train station and a supermarket. The toilet door was very tight and wouldn't open.

The hotel has a great location, very close to the station, within walking distance. The room windows offer beautiful views. The room is large and clean. A family booked the room for three nights. There was one double bed and one sofa bed. We visited the Jungfrau and Matterhorn.

The location is very convenient, just five minutes from the train station. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, making it very suitable for families. A supermarket is also just a five-minute walk away.
