9.0 / 10.0
Superbly located hotel in the middle of Wengen - right opposite the Manlichen ski lift and a few minutes from the train. Beautiful views from the room, very comfortable beds, a spacious (recently refurbished) bathroom and friendly, helpful staff. The complimentary sparkling water at reception was also a plus!
The spa and pool area was clean and attractive with nice views and never too crowded.
We didnt manage to eat in the private chalet but definitely want to next time!
It would be nice if the pool was open a little earlier/later.

Although the room was quite small, it was nicely decorated, it was very clean, the bed was very comfy and the bathroom had Nuxe products. Breakfast was good with a decent variety of hot and cold options. Reception staff was very friendly.
The rooms have basically 0 soundproofing, we could hear everything both from outside and from the hallway. The spa has a lot of wasted potential, there is absolutely no way you can relax while there are children screaming in the pool. The entire spa should be adults-only starting 18:00 and be open until 21:00, so that guests of all ages can actually enjoy it. There were towels and cups left everywhere, the floor around the pool was constantly flooded (we saw several people sliping and almot falling), staff only came in once to tidy up a bit and that's it. The dry sauna outside has no mention if it's nude or textile version, and some guests weren't even aware that they need a towel. And of course no staff comes to check if everything is ok.
The hotel also lacks the typical Swiss "Gastfreundschaft": although we paid over 1200 CHF for two nights, we didn't even get a welcome drink or a personalised note or even a small chocolate, especially considering that it was also Valentine's weekend. Guests are just not made to feel special/welcome, especially considering the rates.

Love love love the cozy vibe of the hotel. The location was absolutely excellent too - at the center of everything in Wengen. It was a short walk from the train station, the Männlichen lift is 2 mins away, and all the winter activities are within a 2 to 3 min walk. The facilities in the hotel were amazing. We especially loved the hotel bar that had a kids’ play room! The staff were also super friendly and helpful. We really loved our stay here and can’t wait to be back.

It’s a really cool place with nice restaurant and bar and a beautiful spa. Great price to value for our trip. The location is great, too. 2 min walk from the train station and 1 minute to gondola - hard to beat this.

The location was awesome. We were just across the street from the gondola and the ski shop to rent skis was just next door. These was the most convienent access to skiing we've ever experienced.
The rooms were aweseome and the staff was great. We didn't select the this hotel for the spa amenities but they turned out to be a great addition to our stay. We hit the Sauna almost every night and went to the pool a couple times over. They have great facilities here and the pictures don't do it justice. One evening we could watc the the sun set over the mountians from the pool. It was awesom.
The shower. What is the Swiss deal with the the half glass door on the shower which gets water all over the floor. Not a huge deal though as we experienced in most stays in Europe.

We were offered an early check-in and the spa was nice.
This hotel is too expensive for what it offers and lacks attention to detail. We asked for a double bed, our request was confirmed by the hotel and we were the given a room with a twin bed. The rooms are badly soundproofed. Our room faced the street and despite closing the balcony door, the noise from the bar right in front of the hotel was overwhelming. We didn’t sleep before 3 in the morning, when the bar closed. The room was also very hot and could only be cooled by opening the balcony door, which we couldn’t do because of the noise. When we informed the person working at reception about this the next morning, we were told the noise issue is highly unusual (it’s clearly not, it’s mentioned in other reviews) and that we should’ve complained during the night, so we were made to feel like it was our fault. We weren’t offered a reduction or even an apology. The breakfast is average and rather loveless. For a price of ca. 370 /night, we expected more.

The room and the balcony was nice. I liked the book wall decor.
The common bathrooms for guests were dirty. The pool side was dirty with with brown things. The fire place was not lit during most of the evenings. I wasn’t able to experience it.

Fantastic hotel, centrally located, super well designed, really fresh and cosy. The room was perfect (comfortable, well equipped, nice views), the spa was really nice after a hike, and the hotel bar is very cosy. Breakfast had a lot of delicious choice. Staff is very friendly and helpful (thanks for the forgotten cheese delivery to Männlichen gondola - truly appreciated!). I can truly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again if visiting Wengen.

This place is so cute and had such a thoughtful renovation! It’s convenient, clean and quiet! The bar had live music while we were there, and all the staff were incredibly hospitable.
Oddly enough, the bathrooms are outdated? It looks like the redid the entire building and forgot them.

We were upgraded with no extra charge. We were very pleased with our stay. Great location, only few minutes walk to the train station. The hotel was designed with style. Great sauna, steam bath and heated indoor pool. Everything is very clean. Staff are friendly and professional. The room was quiet with great view.
The room had a slight smell of animals. Not sure if the previous guests had been to a farm 😆. After a little while, we got used to the smell and it did not bother us. We are seniors and found it hard to climb in and out of the bathtub for a shower.

Great facilities. Our room was very tidy and we had lovely views of the mountains. The pool was lovely too and we made great use of the sauna and spa area. It was perfect for unwinding after a few days hiking.
The shower wasn’t easy to get in and out of in our room so could have been a bit bigger.

Everywhere in Wengen is beautiful, and this hotel was no exception. Extremely modern and clean vibes. Balcony with absolutely incredible views. The pictures online don't even do it justice. The kids also really enjoyed the pool, while the adults enjoyed the sauna. There was a heat wave while we were in Wengen, but we stayed plenty cool by keeping the balcony door open in the evenings and using the oscillating fan provided.
I think the only thing our family of 4 would have preferred would be having the bunkbeds on a separate level as the other bed (we stayed in the 2 level family room which had a small lounge, eating area, bathroom & balcony on the bottom floor and then both sets of beds upstairs. Still, it was nice to have adult time downstairs once the kids fell asleep. The kids loved the built-in bunkbeds with privacy curtains, and I thought having the safety gate at the top of the stairs was a nice touch for younger families.

We loved loved loved this property. One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The rooms, bar, restaurant and pool are were fantastic. The reception staff were super friendly. Lovely little touches everywhere with the arcade machines, duplex rooms, water machines in the hallway and karaoke rooms. The location and the views are incredible.
The restaurant staff were not as attentive as the other staff and we waited a while to catch people’s eye.

Rooms are nicely updated, location is excellent (close to train station and shops), breakfast is excellent (lots of choice), pool is very large for a hotel with indoor and covered outdoor loungers, large dry sauna and steam room
I wish they either monitored the spa pool more or put the ‘no jumping’ on a bigger sign. It’s a spa not a super 8 kids pool. One day there were families completely ignoring the no jumping and another day there were kids following the rules and speaking quietly, like you should be doing in a spa environment. Would be nice if they added a hot tub for those achy apres ski or hiking muscles

Pool/spa/sauna/steam room was super helpful on days they were not so nice. Good location. Nice place to stay
Not sure why any rooms would just be 2 single bunk beds! I know I select the most standard room there was, and I know the room is not super big, but bunk beds are a pain in the you know what!

The connected restaurant had very slow service and I was served a very undercooked chicken dish.

The location good, but unfortunately there was no AC & the bar underneath & across the street hopping until 3-4am every night. We couldn’t open the windows due to the noise which meant toasty temps all night long!
The front desk excellent to provide recommendations for hikes & provide a fan.

We loved the Braunbar! The staff were so friendly and helpful, the location was excellent, and our room (we had a duplex) was perfect for us. We were a family of 4 with teenagers and the balcony was a great addition to chill out on. The pool and sauna added to the luxury feel of the hotel. Breakfast was good and we spent some time each night in the bar chatting with other travellers, listening to music and enjoying some down time. I personally loved the water taps, tea & coffee in reception and the complementary pastries - such a nice touch. I would definitely stay here again.
The only negative was that it was quite warm in the room at night. There was 1 fan but it didn't really cool the 4 of us. We left the door to the balcony open to let some fresh air into the room but it was still pretty warm (late June).

Great location on the Main Street in town. Great views of the mountains. Loved the free water in the lobby. Pool facilities were very nice. Friendly and helpful staff.
Because it’s on Main Street, and you must leave the patio door open for airflow (because of no AC), it can be noisy. We could hear people on the street below and across the street in the playground/mini golf area. Also, our neighbors were very loud, singing at night on their balcony. Kind of ruined any sort of a peaceful/tranquil vibe of the mountains.
