Trauffer Switzerland

Feel at home with us at the Bretterhotel


Good to know

We don't offer room service at the Bretterhotel in Hofstetten near Brienz—but we do offer pretty much everything else your heart desires:

Check-in from 3 p.m. / Check-out until 11 a.m.

(Reception opening hours: 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. If you plan to arrive after 9 p.m., please contact us in advance. Please note: From November to the end of March, reception is only open until 8 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday.)

Our room rates include a generous breakfast buffet (7:30–10 a.m.), which you can enjoy on the roof terrace at Alfred’s with a view of the mountains when the weather is nice.

Would you like to enjoy dinner with us? In the evening, we will spoil you with authentic Swiss cuisine in the à la carte restaurant Alfred's—reserve your table as soon as possible, as seats are in high demand.

The "Mini Bar Dini Bar" snack bar in the hotel lobby, equipped with a coffee machine, wine dispenser, kettle, and chilled drinks, is available around the clock (not included in the room price).

The Bretterhotel is wheelchair accessible and suitable for strollers.

Free Wi-Fi throughout the building

Dogs are very welcome here—both in the hotel and in the restaurants. After all, your furry friend is well-behaved, right? The only place where four-legged friends are not allowed is the KUHniversum interactive tour.
