Lovely friendly people with the most delicious food and atmosphere. Their vegan option was tasty. We loved that the edible herbs and flowers were grown on site. read more

My wife and I went to Switzerland for 10 days, and our stay here was the absolute highlight of our trip. Rooms are simple but clean and charming, and the view is fantastic. Agree with other reviewers that the staff is warm and personable. Everyone spoke excellent English, which was a nice bonus. Also agree 100% that you should get the half-board option to include breakfast and dinner. Not only was it more convenient, but the food was some of the best we have ever had. The one night (Tuesday) when the kitchen was closed and we ate at another local restaurant, the quality wasn't even close. They served excellent local wines as well. Recommend 1000%. read more

Hotel Baeren - view from our balcony - Hotels Near Me - Wengen, BE

Wow! This was a very relaxing three nights spent at this hotel. All the employees are friendly and personable. You really get that small town family feel here. And we are happy that we got the half-board option and breakfast so we don't need to worry about where to eat or what to eat. They had a 4 course meal waiting for you every night. They did have unique flavors some nights. But overall the presentation and taste was good for us. And we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere at dinner. And the view is spectacular! Of course there are a few hotels in front, but the mountains are so huge those hotels don't block the view. We got a balcony room and I loved just sitting in my room staring at the mountains. I slept very good here so the beds were comfortable. A lot of hotels were dated looking around this price point. In my personal search this was the most modern looking hotel at the best value in the area. I'm glad we stayed here and added Switzerland to our itinerary. read more

Hotel Baeren is a great accommodation for those traveling to Wengen and nearby area. It is conveniently located near the station to get around, and the Coop store to pick up on snacks. We stayed at the Lobhorn room on the top floor, which I highly recommend with good amenities. The soaking tub was a nice touch overlooking the spectacular view. Most people I know avoid hotel restaurants, because there are usually better options outside. However, I would encourage visitors to try the Baeren hotel restaurant at least once. The included breakfast buffet had a wide variety of high quality options. We booked the room with dinner added, and the meals were worthy of three yelp stars. Even with all of the positives, there were still a few minor issues. The water easily splashed out of the shower area making the outside floor a bit wet. The bed wasn't exactly the most comfortable, and I had similar complains at many hotels in Europe. Overall, I would definitely return on my next trip. read more

We've been traveling Europe for the past three weeks and this was definitely the best hotel experience we've had in any city. We mistakenly turned up on the wrong day and the hotel switched our reservation and upgraded our hotel room at no cost. The room was rather modern and the views were or of this world! Every single staff member beyond friendly and helpful. Upon checking out the owner even got up from lunch to wish us farewell and offered us a lift uphill to the train station. We also dined at the hotel and enjoyed one of the best meals of our trip, with local produce and wine from the area. I wouldn't even consider looking at another hotel if we were returning to Wengen. read more

It was our first time visiting the Alps and there were so many unknowns in terms of logistics. We only had 4 days so we want to make sure we make the right choice. We decided to stay in the jungfrau region because we felt that was less touristy and the views are as nice if not nicer than the other regions. We were debating between Murren and Wengen, in the end we chose Wengen because it was car free and was quite central to places where we wanted to go. Looking back, we made the right choice but Murren would have been fine for us as well. We really enjoyed the tranquility and sweeping views that Wengen offered. The next was finding the right hotel. Wengen is pretty small so its hard to find a hotel that is in a bad location. You wont find chains or luxury hotels in this area,more family run, small business hotels. Our criteria were quietness, aesthetics, proximity to train station and of course a good value (price/quality). I think that we hit the jackpot here. The location is fantastic, it is close to the train station but was still quiet. We were able to walk to it from the train with luggage in 5 mins. There s short portion that is downhill going to the hotel so its uphill going back to the train station which was not a big deal even with heavy bags. The coop (supermarket) is just across the train station. One of the things that was hard for us to get information was the cost of these lifts. When you go hiking, you do a combination of SBB trains, gondolas (cable cars) and your feet. The lifts are super expensive in my opinion. For example, the lift from Wengen to Manlichen was almost 40 chf but you get a discount with some of these gondolas if you stay at Hotel Baren. What we did was take the lifts up and then just walk our way down to towns. It might be harder on your knees but if you have the technique down, its a better use of your time and energy coz I see people going up and they are almost ready to give up after an hour. BTW if you want tips and recommendations for your hikes, ask Therese, she really gives great advise. The room was exactly what you see in pictures. It was charming and cozy. We stayed in room 205 which I really liked because I dont think there was a room right above it. I am super sensitive to noise and am a very light sleeper so I was worried since it had wood floors but I did not hear anyone above me. We chose the room with balcony and we never saw our neighbors out there. There really is no privacy when your in the balcony since there is barely any wall in between as you can see in the picture I posted. If you had a noisy neighbor or a smoker and they are out in the balcony, and you are not into that then that would be bad. Thankfully we never had that problem. The room had no small fridge but you can bring it down and they can store it in their kitchen. You pay more for rooms with balcony. I think on our return, yes we plan to return to this same hotel, we might choose one without because we were never really in the room. If you foresee yourself to be in the room a lot then get one with balcony otherwise, you can save a good amount if you opt for the room without. The internet in the room was fast and reliable as well. I am someone who is used to the comfort and pampering from luxury hotels so I was hesitant with this one at first but it turned to be lovely. Other than having a quiet room for my beauty sleep, one of the most important things that I look for is service. I have to say that except for one of the employees there who I felt lack the personality and warmth compared to most of the employees, the service here is very good. My favorite is Karen, she has the service with a smile, she even dropped us off in the train station with our bags. If you need anything breakfast, just ask Linda, she is always there to help. Marissa is also one of my favorites. These ladies just know what excellent customer service means. When you book here, you have the option to get a rate with dinner and without. I seldom if never eat in hotels in my world travels. There's something about hotel restaurants that do not appeal to me. I am also very picky with my food and meals. The dinner that comes with the rate is a pre-fixed menu so I was afraid of being limited and with no choice that I will be happy with. We ended up having dinner in the restaurant our first night and after that, we decided to change our rate to include dinner for the rest of our stay. The food is that good. Not your typical hotel food or any casual restaurant. The food here is at the same level as some of the fine restaurants that I have been to. I wont be surprised if they have a Michelin star. People come to this place just for the food. When you are booking, don't even think about it, include the rate with dinner, it comes down to 20 per person for dinner (appetizer, entree, dessert) which is a STEAL in Swiss standards. As healthy eaters, the breakfast also meets our needs. read more

A delightful base for hiking in the Jungfrau area - it's no wonder Therese & Willy's place has been cited one of the top 100 friendly hotels in Switzerland! All of the staff are simply delightful, invariably friendly & helpful! Just a few minutes' downhill walk from the Wengen train station, right on the hiking path down to Lauterbrunnen, & very convenient to the Coop & the rest of the stores in the compact downtown. The rooms are very clean & spacious, & balcony rooms facing the Lauterbrunnen valley & the snow-capped peaks beyond offer an incredible view, especially in the evenings when the Alpenglow turns the snowy peaks pink. Breakfasts are ample for fueling up prior to a hike, & the half board dinners are an amazing value for delicious food, beautifully presented. We'll be back! read more

Stayed here three nights, great views, good room, friendly and helpful service. Ate in restaurant twice--very good and unique items--heavily oriented to local game. Family owned, well worth supporting. read more
