Reviews and Ratings
The refurbished rooms with the best views justify the expenditure. The dining options could be more varied, though the location in front of Jungfrau is a definite highlight.
My stay at the hotel was truly amazing. The rooms were nice and clean, with feather blankets and pillows that provided a cozy atmosphere. The simply stunning views of the Alps from my room were breathtaking. However, the dining experience could be improved with more variety. The location was perfect, just above the town's bustling area, yet within a walkable distance to everything I needed, including trails.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms, although a bit outdated with a hut feel, were surprisingly spacious, comfortable, clean, and well-furnished. Having two balconies was a nice touch. However, being a bit away from the main hotel was a drawback.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms offered a great view of the mountains and were clean and cozy, though the hut nearby wasn't so appealing. The location was excellent, very close to Bahnof Wengen and the Männlichen lift, making it easy to access. The dining experience was good with a nice spread of breakfast choices. The service was top-notch, offering various amenities and assistance. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
