Loved our stay here, such a charming hotel in a beautiful location. Parking on-site & convenient spot to get everywhere. Room was spacious, clean & warm, pack earplugs though as not super soundproofed. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast & restaurant foods were delicious.

This is great hotel and offers free breakfast buffet which was probably the best we had in Europe thus far! My only suggestion is it’s time to swap out the pullout couches for real beds in the 4 person rooms. While the twin beds were extremely comfortable, the pull out was not at all but what you’d expect from a pull out. The staff was amazing and the view in from the top floor room was so beautiful to wake up to

Stayed for 3 nights while visiting the Jungfrau region. The hotel is rustic but super cute! Parking is on site. The staff were very helpful and patient. The included breakfast was lovely and the coffee was great! We opted to purchase the 1/2 board (dinner) and we were very impressed! It was a 3 course meal with several choices (including vegetarian and local dishes) at a very reasonable price. The only negative is the walls are very thin and the people in the rooms next to us were loud. We will definitely be back!

4 of us stayed only one night. All 4 are adults. Possibly the hotel assumed that it was 2 adults and 2 children staying. The two sharing the “pull out” bed, I being one of them, didn’t sleep more than 2 hours due to the rock hard bed. Please don’t assume a room for 4 people is not 4 adults.

Great start to the new year!

Thanks to all the team at Hotel Baren. We had a lovely time. The Silvester party was fun. The food was amazing. Breakfast excellent. Loved our room with a view of the mountains. Lashings of hot water. Good sauna. Many thanks again!
