You can feel the glorious history of the palace! Great breakfast, and having dinner in the restaurant is highly recommended.

I wish there was coffee in the rooms

This roof was enormous and the property was simply stunning . It was a magical stay that will live in my memory forever!! The room, balcony, and bathroom were all gorgeous. The staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was delicious.

The castle and the surrounding parkland is owned by the City of Thun. To cover the cost of maintaining the property ( and it is spotlessly maintained) they host lots and lots of weddings. The wedding guests, as you might imagine, can get carried away with their celebration.

When we booked our reservation through booking.com we liked what the pictures showed, but experience has taught us to be wary. Occasionally properties do not deliver on the promise. This, however, was not the case with Schloss Shadau. They delivered on all their promises. The property was magnificent. The extensive grounds and gardens (about 10 acres) were lovingly maintained. They offer a brochure that identifies the many trees and flowers. They offer building as you might imagine is old but well maintained. Yes, the floors will creak under your feet, but that only feeds the images of the many feet that walked the same floors over the generations. Did I mention the food? You must try the food! The cream of asparagus soup with pea sorbet was extraordinary.

the separate mattresses on a double bed is really not the best choice…

Everything was so awesome !!

Nothing. Truly. The only heads up to share is we were surprised to learn the cost of taxi's in the area. It's very uncommon, so a short 5 minute ride was about 15 euro. We had too many bags to walk, but we'd recommend walking from the train station if you can.

This was a drop-dead gorgeous location and property. We stayed here the night of our mini elopement and it was an absolute dream. They also have a partnership with the hotel next door to have access to their spa facilities. This was a wonderful surprise upon arrival. We're sad to have only spend one night here, but it was everything we hoped for.

Amazing stay here just before Christmas. The hotel is so beautiful, and the views are spectacular. Our room was huge and spotlessly clean. The whole place is magical, I felt like a princess in a story! We had dinner one night at the hotel and it was very nice. Staff were all very helpful. Short walk or bus ride in to beautiful Thun.

The breakfast is average, a bit disappointing for the price.

The property is fantastic, although you don't need to book a room to enjoy it...

Absolutely stunning hotel in a beautiful location on the lake with views of the Alps. Easy access to the train station on Bus number 1 with the Panorama Card privided by the hotel or 15 min flat walk. The staff are outstanding. On arrival we received a very warm welcome from Anita on reception. We enjoyed a lovely dinner on the terrace each night. The staff were amazing - friendly and efficient and the food was superb. We also enjoyed breakfast each morning served on the terrace with the magnificent view - it was a lovely way to start the day. A tiered platter of cheese and cold meats is brought to the table and coffee made to order. Freshly baked croissants and a variety of delicious breads and jams/chocolate spread and juice is available buffet style. A cooked breakfast is made to order and to your liking - to top it off prosecco is also offered. Our room was absolutely beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. After a long flight from Australia and arriving at the Schloss we knew we had made the right decision to stay here! Thankyou to all of the staff for making our stay so memorable - it was sad to leave!

Breakfast. Really disappointing compared to the quality of the hotel. Not much selection. They bring a cold cut/cheese plate to the table, and there are some basic items to choose from in a "buffet". In addition, it was very noisy as the staff is arranging cutlery the whole time you are trying to enjoy your breakfast.

Beautiful historical building right on the lake. Close to everything. Very nice staff and very interesting architecture. Lunch and dinner at the hotel were very nice.

No air con, although had a Dyson fan that helped. The bathroom was a bit dated. The lady on reception who showed us about told me I was too quick when asking for our food and drinks.. but we were tired and wanting to get to bed (and were hungry)…. But didn’t appreciate being told we were impatient clearly after travelling all day to get there. Also no availability of onsite parking which was our fault for not pre booking

The location was spot on and the lady on reception took her time to show us about and also helped with our bags

The menu was limited and we ate the same breakfast everyday and the dinner menu was also limited. More choices would have been preferred. We had to repeat the same dinner 3 times. A shuttle would be nice rather than busses and taxis. We would recommend a rental car for guests.

The staff was very helpful. They even took Chris to the pharmacy for medicine for Nelly.

Nothing really, maybe the parking could be closer to the hotel especially when raining

Superb building and fantastic room. Food was lovely

Everything was great

The location is amazing. The fact that we had the panorama pass for free bus rides was perfect for the location. Being able to start the day with hot breakfast and a glass of Prosecco was wonderful. The staff were all very kind and helpful. Overall, we had a great stay at a great hotel.

Not really anything, but maybe a few different kinds of pillows could be offered in the room?

The hotel staff made the stay extremely welcoming and memorable! They were helpful, friendly, and went out of their way make the stay even better.
