We traveled from Aarau where there were all local residents. Thun was the next largest area. Still the local charm and some tourists. Lucern was an even more populated with a ton of tourists. We loved Thun it was the perfect mix of walking, shopping and boat excursions. Hotel Arte was centrally located for all that you would like to do. The Swiss Pass was the best for the clean convenient transportation.

We love everything about this property, except the room layout - the sink is outside the bathroom and the sink counter is made of some kind of leather.

Property is recently renovated and very stylish, with a consistent aesthetic throughout. Furnishing and finishings are well thought out, modern, and luxurious. The property itself is ideally situated, with lovely views of the Aare River, the historic covered bridge/dam, and the architecturally interesting surrounding buildings. Our room was comfortable, clean, and very functional. Very nice shower. Balconies are great. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and got us into our room early. We will definitely stay here again!

Einzigartig war das Frühstück, sehr leckere Käseauswahl. Allerdings das Zimmer selbst war unter aller Sau: Die Lüftung im Bad war extrem laut, man konnte diese nur ausschalten, indem man die Zimmerkarte rausnahm und damit den ganzen Strom ausmachte. Auf Nachfrage erklärte mir die Frau an der Rezeption: Dies sei in diesem Zimmer fehlerhaft. Wir könnten zu einem anderen Zimmer wechseln. Um 9 Uhr abends? Nein. das geht wirklich nicht. Zudem genau dieses Zimmer sogar 40 Franken Aufpreis waren wg. "Blick auf den Fluss".
