    There was an issue with the draining in the shower which was quickly resolved after reporting to the reception. The room did not have a Kettle to make tea.

    Peaceful place, great spot to visit and close to a lot of nature. Best coffee in our entire seven week trip in Europe!

    The mountain view with balcony is very unique, it’s so so beautiful. Breakfast was okay and staffs were nice except to the old lady at the reception was rude. On the first day, she gave us 2 seperate rooms instead of the family room that I had booked and that’s because of some licking she mentioned but she fixed the issue on the next day and she gave us the correct family room.

    No complaints.

    The rooms were charming with beautiful mountain views. The location was a short walk into Wengen. Staff were very friendly and helpful. This was one of the few places where we could get adjoining rooms for kids, which was really appreciated.

    The sockets are not standard EU or swiss. Only one worked for our charging needs.

    This place has so much character. It's old but well taken care of. Breakfast was great and location was fantastic after a day hiking around Lauterbrunnen.

    A double bed as requested. No exhaust fan in the bathroom.

    We requested a Mountain View and were not disappointed... the view from our balcony was absolutely beautiful. The staff were helpful, breakfast was good, the room was spacious and the beds comfortable...although not the double bed as requested. We initially accessed the hotel via a rather steep "main" road but later found a quaint track from the back of the hotel which led directly into lovely and vibrant Wengen town.

    As foreign tourists, we would have liked more direction from front desk staff on how meals worked (realized halfway through our stay there were specific tables for each room in the dining room), how to order drinks/ice cream on the patio, how to obtain a Wengen Guest card. But - I know staff would have helped if we asked about anything, we just tend to not ask many questions!

    The Family room was 2 connecting rooms (with one bath) and was awesome for our family of 4. Bigger than we expected, had a balcony and table for 4, and 2 twin beds plus sinks in each room section. Hotel was beautiful, good location in the town (but note uphill 5min walk from train/main street), lovely front patio/garden for relaxing. Really a special place. Breakfast (free, included) was yummy (buffet eggs, bacon, cereal, yogurt, muesli, bread, meats/cheeses, tea. Ask servers for coffee), there's a backyard walking path down to main street. Just a beautiful historic place

    Breakfast could’ve been better. And the bathroom, although it was clean, a little bit renovation would be nice.

    This hotel was indeed befitting it’s name. It was sooo historical and original. Even it was historical, everything was well-kept and we felt like we time travelled to the past. View from rooms was simply magnificent. Definitely would recommend. Lady in the reception was helpful, even reserved a table in a restaurant for us since hotel restaurant was closed.

    Noise from other rooms is easy to hear and getting the hotel is challenging and requires a train ride.

    Bathroom outside of door we could lock was a bit tricky while managing two small kids and a dog. The rooms were beautiful though.

    beautiful historic hotel and great staff who made us feel at home right away.
