"The mountain views are the reason to stay here. It is spectacular! The staff was excellent and Pasta & More was an excellent choice for food as well. The room was great, we had the mountain view with a full deck on two sides and it was so much fun to walk out and admire the scenery throughout the day. The only issues were that the blankets seemed to have some stains at the food of the bed and the hot water would fluctuate in the shower. Overall it was an excellent place to stay and easy to access from the train. This is my second time staying in Wengen and it is spectacular."

"Excellent front desk service. The room was wonderfully quiet- one of the most quiet we have had in Europe. We had a ‘comfort double’ room - mattress was firm and comfortable, bath room was small with minimal amenities. Breakfast was included and was served in a very nice dining area. Food quality did not match up with the nice surroundings though - scrambled eggs in particular were questionable. Location was excellent- an easy walk from Interlaken West station, even with bulky luggage."
