Hotel Bären - The place to rest

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.

Great family run hotel with a fantastic balcony view and an excellent breakfast. All staff were very nice and professional.

Baren hotel in Wengen area is a piece of heaven in earth. I am not sure where to start, thetmy have very wonderful outdoor play area, i myself enjoyed it, and a rabbit din next to it, 6 amazing rabbits, my kids spent hours feeding them. I took the challet room, it has 4 beds and fair balcony facing the alps, at night with a glass of wine, you won't renember any of your worries. Breakfast is magnificient, i asked for gluten free bread and i got it. They even have flax,shia and sun flower seeds. They are very close to the main shopping road, sports center and they provide transportation from station to hotel.

The hotel was good. Staff very nice and helpful. We stayed in the "Cozy" family room (4 single beds divided into 2 rooms with connecting door between). Worked great for my wife and I with our adult son and teenage daughter. Not a whole lot of room to move around as the beds took up most of the available space, but was OK because we spent most of our time out and about which is the reason to be in the Alps. Morning breakfast was good as well. If any negative, it was that our bedroom windows were eye level for people passing by on the walkway and road, which was less than ideal. However, overall a great place to stay and would gladly stay here again.

Our family had a very pleasant stay in this hotel. The room was clean and cozy and the staff are all very friendly. We also enjoyed an amazing dinner at their restaurant, food and service were top notch!
