Small basic rooms that were very clean and comfortable. Very comfortable beds.

The view from our balcony was wonderful. The breakfast was great, the best we had in Switzerland.

Murren is a cute town, not easy to get to but worth it for the scenic views and proximity to the Alps. Our weather was lousy but before the rain came, we enjoyed a pleasant hike down to Gimmelwald. The hotel is at the far end of town from the cable car and the funicular wasn't working so we had about a ten minute walk with lots of luggage. Although we arrived right at checkin, it took a few minutes before someone came to the desk to acknowledge us. The room was comfortable, nothing special other than the amazing view from the balcony looking over the valley and to the Alps beyond. Wish we had been able to enjoy it more. We had dinner in the restaurant the second night and enjoyed it. Hearty swiss fare in a cozy restaurant on a rainy evening hit the spot.

Breakfast was good. What sets this hotel apart from many hotels is the staff which includes the owner, reception and wait staff. We had two very good dinners at the window looking at Eiger.

If you are planning to spend several days in the Berner Oberland, look no further than the Hotel Sonnenberg as the home base for your visit. Christoph goes above and beyond to make your visit as warm and comfortable as possible. We spent 4 nights at the Sonnenberg and enjoyed the peace and quiet up the valley above Mürren, away from most of the tourists. Your only sounds at night will be the nearby glacial stream and the cute local cattle and sheep herds. The hotel is located in the Blumental valley beneath the Schilthorn, filled with wildflowers and just a few B&Bs and Pensions. From the hotel, you have some of the best views across the valley of the 3 famous Swiss peaks, the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Note that Mürren is a 30-minute hike down the valley - if you are only staying one night in the area, it’s probably not the place for you to make the most of your visit. It’s much better to stay at least 2 nights, and we enjoyed spending a full 4 nights and days. That gives you plenty of time to explore the whole Lauterbrunnen Valley (and have a better chance of good weather). If you’re visiting to hike (or ski in the winter), there are some great trails right off the property. For a moderate downhill hike, do the North Face Trail from the hotel, breaking off to the Sprutz waterfall at Spielbodenalp. From there, head downhill into Gimmelwald and take the gondola back up to Mürren. The continental breakfast is fresh with local meats, cheeses, and fruits and the coffee is better than most we had in Switzerland. We had two of our dinners at the hotel, and they were both delicious. Prices are comparable to what you’ll pay elsewhere in Mürren for authentic Swiss cuisine. Christoph and his staff made every effort to ensure we had a comfortable stay, and he really tries to make you feel at home. We found ourselves soaking wet and cold after a hike and he was a call away to come pick us up from the Mürren train station.

The location is great. Easy walk from the gondola. Close to shops.

Good, clean basic property. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

Good food. Friendly staff, nice family room.

We loved the apartment; it was perfect for our family of four. The adults and kids had their own large rooms with big closets (and TVs which we never turned on). The waterfall next to the hotel was beautiful to fall asleep to. The views from both balconies was stunning. There was a large dining table that we used when we cooked meals and for planning adventures, playing games, and writing in our journals. We loved Thomas and Jeanette! She made homemade jam and had about 8 different types for the free breakfast. My kids fell in love with Swiss cheese at the breakfast (which was delicious).

Postcard-perfect setting and Christophe, the host, is exceptionally good at his job
