    We were 5 people. The pull out couch bed was not very comfortable. Didn't know it would not have real beds for all 5 of us.

    The house was more updated than I expected. Nice bathroom and kitchenette. Very clean and neat. Friendly owner and fabulous bread and croissants for breakfast! Really peaceful beautiful village with short cable car ride to get to businesses.

    The loft rooms are a bit tricky regarding head clearance, but I never hit the beams! Also, can get warm at nights; like most Swiss facilities, there is no air conditioning.

    Clean and attractive. Friendly staff. Very close to the cable car station. Nice breakfast. Outstanding views across the valley from my loft room.

    Breakfast had to be ordered by noon the previous day. Check out super early 9:30AM

    Location, location, location. The price was right. The chairs at dinning room table comfortable so did not have to fold up sleeping bed.

    All good!

    This is the cleanest lodging I have ever stayed at. The staff was lovely. The location was convenient to cable car. Area was very beautiful with many nearby trails. The kitchen facilities were perfect for preparing meals of the fabulous produce you may purchase at COOP in Murren. We loved having access to the beautiful community pool after long hikes. Peaceful and Quiet - would love to return!

    We shared a bathroom with one other room, and it was never a problem, just a bit I convenient to walk across the hall.

    We loved our stay! Our room was great, and I saw and heard the cows being taken to pasture from our window. The common area provided complimentary coffee and tea, and had a well stocked kitchen available. The view from The windows of the mountains was stunning. The bedding was luxurious and comfortable.

    Hosts were very polite and helpful. We had issues with our booking at another hotel, so this booking was done by BOOKING.COM. The hosts Tobias was kind enough to accommodate at the last minute. He prepared the apartment and was ready in an hour. Since we arrived late, Tobias has even provided groceries for late quick meals. The apartment was clean , nice and had all the amenities. The view from bedroom was snow clad mountains.

    Spacious attic room. I like that we had to take off our shoes to get to the room. It kept the place clean. The kitchen was very spacious. Although our room was at the attic, the kitchen on the 2nd floor gave us a nice break carrying big luggage. The staff were very welcoming and helped us carry our big bags to our room. My friend and her husband who stayed in a double room were very happy that when she opened her door, there was the kitchen. It felt like home.

    We thought the breakfast was extremely overpriced for what was offered. it was good but it consisted of cold meats, cheeses, breads, cereal and fruit, all items that are typically part of a free continental breakfast at other restaurants. For $16 franks there should have been at least hot eggs and meats, at a minimum.

    amazing location and Barbara was fantastic!

    Very happy with my stay! The owners were so helpful and accommodating! The place was very clean and looked great. The owners were very kind and so quick to help once I realized my phone adapter didn’t work with Swiss electric outlets. They found an adapter immediately even though it was past 10pm. I didn’t get a chance to try the breakfast because I left the hotel early every morning.
