Our balcony looks out over the alps.We slept with the balcony door open and woke up every morning to the view of the alps! The breakfast is delicious. They source a lot of their ingredients locally. We also ate dinner here and the food is high quality. The rooms are very clean and the sheets smell so fresh. The mattress is comfortable. It’s a short walk down from the train station.

Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Breakfast was amazing and although we didn’t have dinner there, the food smelled great and the restaurant was busy at night. We checked out earlier than usual and they even packed us a small meal since we were leaving before breakfast was served. The room was small but had all that we needed and was very clean.

Large room, balcony overlooking mountains and valley. Easy walk from train station. Shuttle available to take luggage uphill to train station. Great service if raining. Umbrella provided in room and more available at the front entrance. Hotel restaurant had excellent breakfast buffet. We also enjoyed a meal for dinner. Recommend reservations. Staff were very friendly. Can't say enough about the beautiful views! Down side, had to keep BR door closed during shower; apparently steam sets off the smoke alarm. Occasionally could hear noise from room above us. They provided ear plugs, but we didn't need them.

Of all the places we stayed in Switzerland, this was our absolute favorite! Starting with the staff, each person was extremely helpful and nice. Then, there's the view. Pay for the balcony, it is worth it! We heard dinner at this restaurant is the best in town, but regrettably, we did not try it. Only downsides - material of the sheets isnt comfy - like jersey sheets that pill. Pillows are uncomfy. Water pressure on top floor is weak, not sure about other floors. Makes washing hair a challenge. But, staff and view make up for these!

This was such a cozy and comfortable stay, especially for solo women travelers. The staff were amazing and so accommodating making the area feel safe and easily digestible (despite being so vast). The area is perfect for hikes and is safe and beautiful, even if you are a beginner or just want to go for a quick walk. The dinners from the hotel restaurant were captivating from not only the views but the exquisite cuisine that made the waiters and cooks so excited to share.

My room had a nice balcony and an excellent view of the mountains from the second floor. The breakfast here is also nice with a lot of options. The staff at the reception and restaurant (Melissa) were super nice. They were happy to offer tips about where to go and what to see. The owner/caretaker even offered a ride to the railway station since we had luggage and it was raining. Awesome people. Highly recommended.

The hotel had excellent food, staff service and amazing view rooms. My only complain would be the fact that the rooms need to probably have a humidifier during colder months (like now it is autumn and the temperature at night is below 5 celcius. I found the room very dry causing poorer sleep at night. You also cannot humidify it while showering with the door open as the steam causes the fire alarm to set off.

This hotel is located in Wengen, which is car-free village, but easily accessible with a train from Lauterbrunnen. The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly. We booked a room overlooking the mountains and the views were spectacular. The hotel also has a great restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Highly recommended this hotel and location.
