    Tiny town. Great place to stay. Extremely expensive.

    Everything was great. No complaints.

    Staff is amazing. Buying the breafast and dinner plan is almost essential as the food prices in the area are outrageous. We went to a less expensive place and had two hamburgers, a hot dog, and one kebab plate (inedible) for over $80! So the dinner at the hotel would have been better. Breakfast was wonderful and worth the extra cost. I was ill and the staff and owners went out of their way to offer help. They even gave me their private number in case I needed to be driven to hospital in the middle of the night. The hotel is exceptional.

    Could have been a bigger variaty on the breakfast, but still not to bad. We werent hungry when we left :)

    The staff was extremly friendly. The woman that welcomed us (I presume she was the owner of the hotel) actualy gave us a larger room with mountain view free of additional charge. Me and my girlfriend are foodies, and we like fancy restaurants. The restaurant in the hotel was Michelin standard, for a reasonable price (Dinner costed around 150€ but it was worth of it). Very tasty and good portions.

    Staff, room, breakfast, dinner. Watching the cows with their cowbells come down the mountain to graze in the valley in winter. Loved the little bear! Wish it could be purchased as a souvenir.

    Nothing really. The hill up to the train station will work your gluts for sure.

    Great location, room had a view of the valley. Dinner was fabulous, the best we had in Wengen. Breakfast was my personal favorite- loved the do-it-yourself egg cooker and the fresh breads. Quick and filling for great days.

    The receptionst who check us in, a bit unfriendly.

    Wengen is a car free village. Village itself is already very beautiful. We are with 3 persons. a room is separate with a wall, so looks like you have a separate room. Room is big, toilet is big. Bed is comfortable, just the pillow is way too soft. kettle boiler in the room, tea and coffee. Room is cleaned everyday. we had a room facing street, not the mountain. a bit pity. but still beautiful enough. windows possible to open. COMPLIMENT TO EXCELLENT BREAKFAST. all fresh ingrediantes, fresh orange juice, self boiled eggs, so you can control how soft or hard you want your egg. the croissants are amazing. I never had such delicious croissants.

    Our room was on the first floor and faced out to the road. Since there was no air conditioning, we slept with the windows open. The temperature was pleasant, but there was a lot of noise from the road outside.

    This hotel was so clean and the staff was extremely friendly. We ate breakfast in the hotel every day, and the food was some of the best we ate in all of Switzerland.
