Stunning views, quiet location, no regrets

We had a balcony room and we have absolutely no regrets - the view was absolutely stunning, and we enjoyed just sitting on the balcony soaking in the views, with the soundtrack of cow bells ringing. The room was a decent size, the bathroom clean and shower good pressure, there were even some extra seats and a desk to spread out, and plenty of room for our suitcases. The staff were fantastic, and the food in the attached restaurant also delicious. This was our favourite stay for our whole holiday, it really left an impression on us.

Perfect hotel to stay in this beautiful town

We were a family of 3 adults staying in the family room. The room was very clean and comfortable and quiet at night. We were able to sleep with the windows open to let in cool air after the warm summer days. Location is close to the Coop, Main Street of Wengen and train and gondola stations albeit the hill is hard work. Luckily they will transport your luggage up the hill when it comes time to leave. We loved the breakfast in the restaurant and whilst we didn’t eat dinner there we did pop in for a drink late one evening. The front desk and restaurant staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Memorable experience

Our family of 4 stayed 3 nights at the chalet that had a great mountain view as shown in the website. The chalet was spacious with 2 bedrooms (1 with double bed and the other with 2 single beds). Both rooms had a desk. There is one bathroom with a shower (no bath) and a separate toilet. There is also a separate sink to wash your cups and water bottles etc. There is a small fridge with enough space to store fresh fruits, coffee machine and very nice tea bags including herbal teas provided. Although there is no fan there are many windows and the cooler evening mountain air meant the trmperature was quite comfortable at night on one of the 30 degree days that we were there. We did half board with buffet style breakfast and 3 course dinner provided. Both were excellent. Recommend you take up this offer if you have the chance. Its great value and you won't be disappointed. For breakfast there is a variety of homemade breads, jams, butter, cereals and yoghurts. There is bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, and variety of hams. There is also different kinds of juices. There is also a water bath machine that allows you to boil eggs to your liking e.g. half boiled, soft or hard boiled. The food was plentiful and delicious. Recommend you try the different breads. I especially liked the 'nut bread'. For dinner there is good variety of starters and mains to choose from with generous portions so you are not left still hungry afterwards. All the dishes we had were very yummy that contained very fresh ingredients. The desserts were also great and also good selection of drinks. Also, the chef was able to make delicious dishes that cater to my dietary requirements without garlic and onions. So recommend that if you have dietary requirements that you inform the pleasant staff well in advance - the chef may be able to cook yummy dishes to your needs.

Wonderful hotel with exceptional staff.

Everything! Everything about this hotel is exceptional. The room was wonderful with great amenities, the location stunning and the food amazing. But it is the brilliant staff that made our stay truly memorable. They are all so friendly, helpful, attentive and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. One night the dessert special had run out and my husband was really looking forward to trying it. The next night the chef had made one especially and let us know they were keeping it for him to have after dinner. Not only that, my husband said it was the best dessert he had ever eaten! The hotel is down a steep hill, so on leaving your luggage will be driven up to the station, which was greatly appreciated too.

We love Wengen and would go back, we hated the hotel!

The only thing that we liked about the hotel was the dining room and breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The main drag in the town had a great atmosphere and there were some nice shops We loved Wengen so much that we are considering returning to do some hiking in the summer and wouldn't think twice about going back to ski

Fabulous friendly hotel with great food

We liked that the reception staff were very welcoming but had to pay £60 for upgrade, as I had only booked for one 🙁 Loved the fact that they had a fab restaurant for dinner & breakfast. We will definitely be back.

The staff were lovely and the property was very peaceful. Bathroom was a generous size. The buffet breakfast was included and really delicious. The staff gave us a lift from the property to the train station with our luggage when we checked out which was very helpful!! The property is located just outside of the main centre of Wengen which meant it was a lot quieter, which was nice.
