This was such a cozy and comfortable stay, especially for solo women travelers. The staff were amazing and so accommodating making the area feel safe and easily digestible (despite being so vast). The area is perfect for hikes and is safe and beautiful, even if you are a beginner or just want to go for a quick walk. The dinners from the hotel restaurant were captivating from not only the views but the exquisite cuisine that made the waiters and cooks so excited to share.

My room had a nice balcony and an excellent view of the mountains from the second floor. The breakfast here is also nice with a lot of options. The staff at the reception and restaurant (Melissa) were super nice. They were happy to offer tips about where to go and what to see. The owner/caretaker even offered a ride to the railway station since we had luggage and it was raining. Awesome people. Highly recommended.

The hotel had excellent food, staff service and amazing view rooms. My only complain would be the fact that the rooms need to probably have a humidifier during colder months (like now it is autumn and the temperature at night is below 5 celcius. I found the room very dry causing poorer sleep at night. You also cannot humidify it while showering with the door open as the steam causes the fire alarm to set off.

This hotel is located in Wengen, which is car-free village, but easily accessible with a train from Lauterbrunnen. The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly. We booked a room overlooking the mountains and the views were spectacular. The hotel also has a great restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Highly recommended this hotel and location.

Perfect hotel!
Hotel Baren is a wonderful hotel with a spectacular view from our balcony room! The staff are very friendly and helpful when we had to switch rooms because we had two separate bookings. Wengen is a perfect base to see the area. Very accessible to trains and cable cars. The rooms are a bit smaller than preferred but the balcony makes it feel a bit bigger and when you are in the mountains the rooms are generally small.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The good: call ahead for directions from Wengen. Decent sized double room. The downside: The Hotel is actually further down below the station on a steep path- heavy baggage is not convenient. They did not help with either theirs nor third party taxi.They were keen to book us in for evening meals - the waitress was not helpful with portion sizing, my wife asked for a small portion as she was unwell, they refused and got huge us portions that the kids and my wife did not like (overly oily fish fritters etc) nor could finish.Snarky remarks from the servers that we have too much food. I had clearly specified that I had an egg allergy, the waitress said she would ask. Another waitress got the food and I was about to eat it before I double checked and the answer was again- 'I will ask' (!!)-this is unacceptable in my view,simply too careless about the customers health. Very awkward ambience and rushed treatment from the servers.Also this restaurant is more expensive than the standard 'Swiss expensive'. We did not go there again.The rooms are separated with sliding doors that go completely inside the slot- my little child's hand got stuck in the slot while she wanted to move,it was hurtful for her. No lock or exhaust fans in the toilet. Lock and key for hotel doors. Room not cleaned while away. Snarky comments and inappropriate comments from the receptionist during checkout. Expensive place with little value. This Hotel was the low point of our Swiss trip.
