Parking would have been good across the street from hotel but it was closed due to Ironman competition. Not the fault of facility but wish we had known before booking. Toilet was broken and continually ran. Bus stop in front of hotel on busy street so unite noisy. Will not return.

In albergo dove in tre abbiamo speso 300 Euro per notte mi sembra tanto per avere una piccola stanza senza aria condizionata e 3 brandine che l´ultima volta che ho dormito sopra una cosa cosí era durante la naia.

Alpha Thun was a pleasant surprise. Our original booking of a different hotel in Interlaken was cancelled on us by the hotel and we scrambled to find another and this is what we found in Thun. The hotel is right next to the Strandbad bus stop, making it convenient to travel using bus. The room was clean, quaint, spacious enough, and decent looking. The hotel restaurant was great. The food selection was great. Our server, Pao, offered a few great suggestions for Schilthorn and the hiking areas around Murren and Gimmelwald. Since we love hiking, we followed her suggestions.

Do it yourself hotel after 8 pm
This hotel runs with minimal staff and the check in closes at 8pm. You will need your smart phone to either access instructions sent by e-mail if you don't arrive by 8pm or to call the emergency number for instructions on how to get in the building and get your room key. Room was fine, functionally furnished and clean. A cold buffet breakfast is available.

A gem of a hotel !
This little gem of a hotel truly exceeded our expectations. The staff were genuinely welcoming and helpful, the hospitality area with free coffee and cold drinks was much appreciated after a long drive. The room was comfortable and well equipped and breakfast was varied and good quality. They even gave us a free pass for the local bus into Thun. We had a really enjoyable stay in Thun, largely down to the Alpha Thun hotel and if and when we return we would not hesitate to use this hotel again ...well done guys !

1) Unlike other Swiss hotels, City Tax paid during booking (charged direct by the hotel) 2) hair dryer kept out of sight (high above bathroom mirror top ledge) so we decided to use ours 3) 2nd night shower foam liquid only enough for one person so we have to use ours ! 4) 2nd night the tissue box was empty so we have to use ours !

See item 4 above
The hotel staff at reception and the service at dinner was first class. The breakfast was disappointing in that the buffet had not been topped up and therefore, it was a question of choosing from the left overs. The server at breakfast was simple not interested and a smile was lacking and even had to seek he out to get some more tea and coffee. It was a great shame which spoiled to good work done by other staff.

Good hotel, great breakfast included
Overall good experience.... the room we booked happened to be in top floor/attic with a slanted ceiling and a bathroom shared with 4 other rooms, which was a bit awkward (regular room with full ceiling and bath is $50 more), but otherwise the hotel was fine just for sleeping after long days of sightseeing. They provide a great breakfast and a discount card for local attractions, which worked out very well for our stay. Location is very quiet and safe, paid city parking across the street ($4/24hr).

Elevator broken, no wifi on floor
once u check-in, room on 3rd floor (actually, it's on 4th floor's stairs climbing in Swiss), 1st bad impression, elevator is broken and no repairs. Man.. not happy with my luggage. Then, u find out wifi is only on lobby (ground level), need climb up and down, just to google some direction and info etc.. not fun.. lastly, our room is on edge/slope side of the big building, hence I bump my end twice to the side at room and I'm only 5'8". No telephone in the room, so u can't get help in case of emergency. No water in the room neither. regarding the door key, once u lock it from outside, u can't open it from inside neither. it's bad if parents didn't know such and leave kid sleep inside the room and screaming for good. The only thing plus is the breakfast and staff does smile at you.
