Congress Seepark Das In Thun

Key fobs stopped working, twice. We were stranded at 11:30 pm with no access to our rooms. They had to reprogram the fobs to let us in. The cleaning staff trashed (probably an oversight) our meds. Under staffed , esp in the cafeteria and breakfast place. Frugal Breakfast spread. Overall, I won't recommend this hotel for it's low value for money.

This hotel was my accommodation for Ironman Switzerland, so I’m going to write this review from the perspective of someone participating in the race. The location is good, about 400 meters from the finish line and maybe 600 meters from transition. There was a bus stop right outside the hotel which made access to Athlete Village very easy when I didn’t want to walk. I stayed in a junior suite, which was a good size to spread out all my gear, bike and bike box without my wife and myself feeling cramped. I don’t think we’d have been as comfortable in one of the regular rooms. The hotel is right on Lake Thun, which makes practice swims and just getting into the water to play very convenient. Bike pumps were available to use. Breakfast was served every morning starting at 7am, and 4am on race day. It was good with many options. The two dislikes I had were the refrigerator/minibar and the location. One of the main reasons I picked the hotel was access to an in room fridge. Unfortunately the fridge didn’t seem to get cold enough. Drinks were only semi cold and I was worried any food I put in it would spoil, make me sick, and ruin my race. I asked the staff about this and was told none of the minibars got very cold. Ultimately this wasn’t that big of an issue due to the good breakfast options, but I still would have liked to store some snacks. For the location, although 600 meters from transition doesn’t sound like a lot, it is when you’re lugging your bike and gear back after the race. Unlike other races I’ve done, Ironman Switzerland did not give you the option to have friends or family retrieve your gear. Each athlete had to do it themselves. The bottom line is this is a very good and comfortable hotel, with a very friendly staff. If I were to do the race again, I would consider staying here. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5
