A characterful hotel! Beware that due to age of the property there is no lift and floors are not always level. Still nice though.

I love the breakfast!!

We knew it was old property but the floor were so squeeqy it kept waking up. Very close to road

Good breakfast pleasant restaraunt and good parking

The hotel is old, but well kept & has a woodsy charm to it. There is parking on sight. The staff are great! Breakfast on Saturday was buffett style with plenty of options.

Complementary breakfast was OK. They didn’t really have many options except for bread. My husband is severely allergic to tree nuts, and peanuts and they had them everywhere.(then again we know the world does not revolve around us, but there were no allergy signs anywhere.) as for the hotel room itself. It was cozy cabin vibes. The restrooms were not the greatest. Too small random out of place repairs that were noticeable.

Not value for the money we paid, expensive. Breakfast was very basic, only scrambled eggs and fried potatoes were on offer for hot food. The room we were given was basic and very, very dated. Stained carpet, old furniture and worn furniture, shower head with no ability to change direction. Very poor. Hotel needs a refurb.

My experience with the hotel staff was unfortunately disappointing. At check-in, the staff member assigned me the wrong room and charged an additional amount that did not match my original reservation, which caused unnecessary inconvenience. Additionally, a female staff member with short hair working in the breakfast area was quite discourteous in her interactions. She appeared overwhelmed, which may have contributed to the tone of the service, but the overall experience felt unwelcoming. Switzerland is an incredibly beautiful country, and I had been looking forward to enjoying my stay fully. Unfortunately, the service attitude at this hotel detracted from what could have otherwise been a wonderful experience.

The hotel itself was so charming, the only thing that could be fixed or made is a more accessible way to get up to the hotel rooms. Everything was stairs which made it hard to carry up suitcases and snowboards. Otherwise super cute hotel in the alps

Great place and nice staffs

The Baren exceeded all my expectations. It was cozy, clean, and the staff were so accommodating. I cannot recommend this place enough. We also enjoyed using the sauna facilities and the breakfast was great. We came a little late one day and the server made us more eggs and bacon fresh. Beautiful area as well close to a bus stop.

Hmmm what to say lol. We chose Hotel Baren because it was an “affordable” hotel close to Interlaken. If you need the bus it takes about 15 minutes to get to Interlaken. Bonus the bus was free and the stop is close by. The building is very old so the bathroom is a retrofit, small and adequate. The sink was in the room. No elevator. No coffee or tea or kettle but breakfast was included so that was nice. The room was cold in early October. An extra blanket for the bed helped. All in all it was okay.

Enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was great! You are not happy to find out that they charged for parking in their own parking lot because we did not book directly with them. They said there is an 18 Swiss franc charge for parking when booked through Hotels.com or other online booking services

Everyone was very nice and helpful. We had a room with balcony on the 3rd floor but because the hotel is 300 yr old there was no elevator. We did get help from a staff member to take the bags up and down. Stayed 2 nights and ate at their restaurant, both breakfast and dinner were good. Very small village, train station was close by.

Very nice hotel, great dining options!

Area was nice, good breakfast, quaint hotel, nice village.

This hotel has charm. I knew that it was not modern and has no elevators. I wanted to stay somewhere that did not look like very hotel. If you like certain accommodations this place may not be for you. I loved its old charm and country feel. The breakfast was great. A buffet with a variety of foods. The room was rustic and the bathroom worked very well even if it was not remodeled. The waterflow for the shower was strong. There is no A/C. We just opened the window if needed. We traveled early September so it wasn't very hot. There is no front desk after 9pm. If you need some kind of service after hours you would have to wait until the morning. We enjoyed this hotel. It had that traditional Switzerland charm.

No elevators

Nice restaurant for dinner and breakfast, parking, in neighborhood, older hotel but in good condition, close to interlaken.

Clean room, good breakfast. The hotel is over 300 years old, that comes with pluses and minuses. For us, it made for a unique and authentic experience that was worth the outdated fixtures. Our room also had an unbeatable view.
