Dorint Hotels in Beatenberg

Heads up: This hotel is located up in the mountains. It's about a 20-minute winding drive uphill from the bottom. So, if you're looking for a staycation to relax and enjoy the lake views without coming down, this could be a good option. However, if you're like me and just using it as a stopover for trips to Grindelwald, Zermatt, and Bern, then the transportation is quite inconvenient. Also, while the balcony view is nice, it's only separated from the next-door balcony by a simple wooden partition, meaning there's absolutely no soundproofing. You can hear your neighbors' conversations on their balcony crystal clear. The service was good, and breakfast was decent, although you might have to wait for a table. Laundry costs 6 Swiss francs, and the laundry room is a bit far from the rooms. In short, this hotel has very obvious pros and cons.
