    no privacy in balcony, you can see the whole floor balcony. If add some ham in breakfast would be nice.

    location, many hiking trails nearby, view from balcony, very friendly staff in breakfast, single room is small but cozy and it’s enough for me, bathtub…I enjoyed a lot and hopefully I will come again in summer.

    Traditional value, comfortable, taste of real Switzerland

    Swiss beds were as usually too soft and hot. Though it was the end of September and in the mountains, we had to leave the balcony door open to cool the room, as we do not like too warm bedding (due to the soft, sink-in-the-fluff mattresses). But that is a country specific feature found in all places we visited. The hotel is far enough for a small town from the train station, up the hill all the way, and not easy to locate at first. Those with a plenty of baggage or heavy baggage or without practice in walking have better call from Lauterbrunnen during transfer and warn the Alpenruhe. They will pick you or a baggage up at the train station. No other transport or cars except hotel service ones are permitted in Wengen. We were on the brink of closing the summer season (September 20-22), so many restaurants were preparing to close for a break until the winter season. It was hard sometimes to find where to have a dinner.

    The stuff in the hotel Alpenruhe was absolutely great, characterized by respect to guests and self-respect as well with no servile behavior. The information on Booking site does not inform that Alpenruhe was the first hotel in Wengen to serve tourists. It is in great condition despite the age, but you feel yourself like in an old dignified family house. Rooms were very comfortable, of a modest but quite sufficient size. The balcony provided a way to enjoy late evening clean air with a view of a small town neighborhood and famous three mountains as a background. The batroom and shower facilities were obviously renovated as well as the furniture. Breakfasts were very conveniently served with a great choice of breads, croissants, cheeses, jams, and swiss sausages. Eggs were prepared on demand the way you liked.

    The only reason it’s not a 10/10 is the bed: It was very uncomfortable and sagging and the sheets were abnormally rough. I mean really. I slept in cheaper Budget hotels that have better sheets. So I didn’t sleep very well. It would also be awesome if they added one self service area for everyone in the BnB where you have a small fridge, microwave (Wengen doesn’t have many dining options), kettle and some tea, because you don’t have it in the rooms. However, the staff was helpful with those when asked. Everything else was awesome!

    Awesome little BnB! Breathtaking views - Wengen has the best in all the area! The view from the balcony was stunning! I loved how quiet and authentic Wengen felt compared to other villages in the area. The staff was super helpful and kind, breakfast was tasty. Good value for money. I liked that there are baths in the rooms, so you can take a bath after a long day of hiking. The fact that there are shower curtains didn’t bother me because I just used the bath and not the shower. I had the single room and it was large enough for me. There isn’t a 24/7 front desk but they were very responsive to phone calls (please note check in is only until 20:30).

    Good stay in higher ground of Wengen with great view to mountains

    The balconies are divided by a chain. So you see who is sitting right next to you on all other balconies on your same floor. It would be nice to consider a different divider that provides a bit more privacy to each guest from each room while sitting in the balcony.

    The hotel is located a bit further away from the center (about 9 minute walk in a small town), but it has a beautiful panoramic point if you choose to have a room with a view to the mountains. They offer transportation from train station if we wanted, but we declined. the hotel is up the hill, so you might want to consider if you have load or prefer not to walk. The room is ok. Has a private bathroom (small but complete), a small closet, the beds, and a small TV and a small wall table and two chairs. So while it has all you need, this is really a small room, we realized that a 13-14 square meter is too small a room for us. It's a lesson we learned for us personally. The best part of the room is the balcony, that opens to Manlinchen, the Mountains and even you can see a bit of the Lauterbrunnen valley. Sitting there was a joy. The beds and the pillows were very comfortable. The TV had a really good selection of channels in multiple languages. Breakfast was really good, and they made good eggs on demand. Staff was really helpful and ready to answer questions we had.

    Wengen location (Alpine Rhue Hotel) is hard to beat for experiencing the scenery of the Swiss Alps

    • Superior Double Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The location of Alpine Rhue Vintage Hotel at the top of the town (Wengen) provided a breathtaking view of the alps (including Jungfrau) from the balcony doors. The premium room was spacious and comfortable. The cable car from Wengen to Mannlichen is mandatory in your visit. You can take a second cable car at the top through the valley to Grindewald for even more spectacular scenery. There was not many people (early September) around so we had the Alps to ourselves.

    The hotel is on a rather steep slope - it’s not a problem when we checked in as we were picked up in a van but inevitably we had to climb the slope a few times during our stay - there are no taxis in Wengen as it is a car free town. This may be a challenge for those who are very unfit or with disability. Room size is on the smaller side (ours was 16m2) - but I felt there was enough room for the two of us

    Fabulously friendly staff - Alin who picked us up from the train station and checked us in as well as Kristina and Gana who looked after us at breakfast were all so very pleasant and made us feel at home AMAZING views from our balcony - we woke up to the quintessential Swiss Alps view every morning!

    Great views and great staff! The hotel was clean and the room was comfortable. About an 8-min walk uphill from the Wengen train station but it was enjoyable. They had a few board games and many design magazines/books available in the library for when the weather isn’t cooperating. Thank you Hotel Alpenruhe!
