Seiler au Lac

Our stay was in May 2023 and it's unforgettable to this day! First, the views which are even better than in the pictures! We were there in shoulder season and it wasn't overly crowded. In the mornings, you could see locals on daily jogs and walking their dogs. It didn't feel as overly touristy in the nearby Interlaken. We especially liked the peace of the town at night. During breakfast every day, our family had a designated table with our names on it which gave it a personal touch. I was told there breads was from a local bakery was delicious (We loved the croissants). While I see how some may feel it is repetitive after a few days, the quality were top notch (and par the course for breakfast spreads in Europe I believe). Food costs is after all high in Switzerland, and breakfast was included in our rate so we have absolutely no complaints. A shoutout to the staff at breakfast, who was so polite and welcoming throughout. This property is a bus ride from Interlaken train station, but it is not too far and bus arrivals are frequent. On our first day however, we ran into to a tourist horde that was heading to Iseltwald and it was a stressful experience with our luggage, especially we weren't sure where to alight. But it was an one-time encounter which we did not face later on once we got our bearings. The bus stop was just across the street so we just trotted there easily everyday after breakfast. And it's near a ferry stop too, which made boat rides across the lake super convenient and efficient. I feel like you have to consider other in context when doing reviews. Accommodation costs in Switzerland are simply high, so I think the prices here are considered reasonable. Some of the review i feel were a little unfair, as this place was never marketed as a five-star luxury hotel. The rooms were clean and more than sufficient to recharge and relax after an entire day out. And it's really what i was looking for - a hidden gem with spectacular views but without the exorbitant costs. This property showcased the best in hospitality. Due to its small size perhaps, we had a cozy stay where you could feel the warmth and pride of the people running the place. I feel like they would go out of the way to help you with any issues you face! For instance, we faced some discrepancy during check out due to some billing issues and they solved it very promptly without fuss. Thanks Seiler Au Lac for helping us create such wonderful memories. I would no doubt recommend everyone to consider this place.
