The room was large, beautiful and had a great view on the main square. It didn‘t matter for us that the shower was in the isle. There is no breakfast but in the house on the other side of the street there is a super great coffee bar (simplyfine)

Nice room in perfect location

Spent 2 days recently in Thun and had the pleasure of eating dinner one night in Zunfthaus zu Metzgern. Had just arrived from 3 days in Fribourg and wanted to eat some meat dishes after overdosing on cheese (Fondue, Raclette, Assorted Kaese & Brot) in the Suisse Romande. The Zunfthaus did not disappoint. Our server, Karin, and her co-server were excellent in describing the house specials. There were three of us and after a pre-dinner drink we settled on: House Specialty Cordon Bleu with Roesti, Lisa's Spezial RindHackfleish in pastry puff with vegetables and potatoes, and Bauerbratwurst with Onion Sauce with Pomme Frites. All were prepared satisfactorily and delivered in a timely manner. Excellent taste to all, good portions and we were more than satisfied. After the hearty meal we relaxed with a coffee and schnapps and my charming dinner companion, Mlle. Puma decided to order an exotic dessert - The Stripper's Pole, I think it was called. This concoction of layered ice cream was covered in high proof schnapps and ignited producing a mesmerizing light show on the table. A bit pricey and labor intensive (Karin didn't seem to overly enjoy the intricacies of preparation but she was a good sport). It certainly added some "zing" to the evening and it, along with the other schnapps consumed, made the walk back to the hotel more festive. Traveler's Tip: Great views from town square outside restaurant. Zunfthaus zu Metzgern, a comfortable, traditional establishment I would gladly visit again.

Superb Traditional Meal, Great Schnapps and An Interesting Dessert

Excellent location, cheap (by Swiss standards) rooms, but with shared bathrooms at end of corridor. Not very convenient at busy times or indeed in the middle of the night! Wifi only seems to work OK on ground floor. Being in town centre it can be noisy at night with young people at 4am presumably returning home and not being very quiet about it!

Convenient old town hotel

We chose this hotel as a base in Thun to visit the near by places. The Thun train station is at a walkable distance from hotel. The hotel has  a common bath room policy. There is no internet connection except for the base floor.

Decent place for a base in Thun

As people have said, Switzerland is expensive. I would go further and say that its a rip-off, but this hotel is, for Switzerland, very good value coming in as it does under 100Chf. The location is excellent in so far as it is right on the town square, but the downside is that its noisy. People walking past at the dead of night talking at normal volumes will wake light sleepers.

Didnt have time to stay for breakfast, so cant comment on it. The staff were not as helpful processing a manual credit card payment (ie with signature not pin) as other Swiss hotels were, (and wanted me to pay up front, which is never something to make me warm to a hotel), so make sure you have a PIN if you currently use a signature like me to complete your credit card purchases.

Overall, the hotel itself is OK, but its location is what lifts it above the norm. As is typical for Switzerland (and most of Western Europe for that matter), it seems the staff are polite rather than warm and welcoming, so expect nothing more in that regard.

good affordable accom right in the old part of town

Switzerland is expensive, and finding a place to stay that had what we needed for a reasonable price was difficult.  We booked the Zu Metzgern and weren't sure what to expect.  I wasn't overly thrilled with a shared bathroom, but we had a lovely stay and I would recommend this hotel to those traveling to the Thun area.  It is a good value.  The property was clean - our room was a good size with lots of windows and an excellent view of the square, restaurant, and if you peaked around the corner, the castle.  This could not be beat.  The shared bathroom was clean and the owner was very friendly.  The location was ideal for exploring Thun and not too far from anything.  The only bad thing I can say about the property is that in our room, we had many windows overlooking the square and the curtains didn't keep out all of the light - so it wasn't the most restful sleep, but everything else was great!  We ate at the restaurant - it was busy all the nights we were there.  I enjoyed the risotto.  My companion had a bratwurst and wasn't overly impressed, but there were several other dishes that passed by us that looked excellent.
