Hotel Schönegg is the definition of lipstick on a pig. It charges luxury prices, but the experience never came close to feeling luxurious. The breakfast buffet was genuinely excellent and was easily the best part of the stay. Unfortunately, that’s where the compliments end. The staff were about as warm and comforting as a splinter under a toenail. Every interaction felt like we were inconveniencing them simply by being guests. Hospitality should make you feel welcome; here, it felt like they couldn’t wait for us to leave. As for Wengen itself, it’s undeniably beautiful. The mountain scenery is spectacular. But beneath the postcard views is an overcrowded, overpriced destination packed with tourists. After experiencing it firsthand, I don’t understand the hype. Between the inflated prices and the lackluster service, it’s simply not a place I’d spend my money on again. The scenery earns five stars. The overall experience does not. I won’t be returning.

Beautiful Mountain View’s from our balcony. Excellent breakfast included.

Lovely hotel close to the train station and town, without a large uphill climb. Our morning view was beautiful, breakfast was wonderful, and the bed was comfy. Air conditioning isn't standard in Wengen, but we had a small fan in our room which helped on warm afternoons. We would recommend this hotel.

This is a small, comfortable hotel, with limited amenities but beautiful views. The hotel faces a charming children’s park which is so fun but also, children in the summer play late into the evening and it can be quite loud. The rooms were warm with no AC or fans to support an unusually hot summer. The breakfast was good with some warm options from the kitchen including eggs, an omelet or pancakes plus the typical breakfast spread of breads, yogurt and cheeses. The front desk was informative when checking in but felt less supportive post check-in, when asking questions. They do have a shuttle from the train station but it stops running after 4pm, which proved challenging in a thunderstorm just shortly after 4pm. The restaurant was cozy with beautiful views and a limited and expensive, but very good menu in the evening.

We booked a top floor suite and while it was nice, the accommodations were not luxurious. The room was a bit rustic and had the feel of a basic mountain lodge. However, the views from our room from the outside balcony were spectacular and the staff was wonderful with a special mention concerning Maria at the front desk.

Very nice hotel. Rooms are a bit small. Our room had a balcony which was very nice. Breakfast was also very good.

Beautiful location!! Loved the views from the terrace! I would say they have the best views! Cute little hotel with best mountain views! Very friendly staff. Had decent options for breakfast. Location was a plus, almost in the middle of the town, 5-6 minutes walk from the Wengen railway station, Wengen-Mannlichen Gondola was right across the street.

Great cottage and location at the end of the Main Street in Wengen. Incredible views from the mountain facing terrace and the best included breakfast I’ve had at any location. Used as my base camp to explore the Swiss Alps over 4 days, which was perfect going up the Jungfrau side, thru Lauterbrunnen and the east side mountains, or into Interlaken/Bern if the weather restricted visibility.

Love the location and the staff was excellent

Clean rooms and property. Very friendly staff. Great location and breakfast each morning. We had the family room and it was perfect with a separate room that had bunk beds. Just a note: there isn't a fridge if you plan to buy snacks and there isn't ac, which was fine in May but could be hot in the summer. Great hotel! We loved our stay!

Wonderful stay with the most beautiful view in Wengen. All of the staff were fantastic, especially with recommendations in the area and breakfast service. Would definitely come back and stay here again!

Our room had an amazing view of the mountains. They let us leave our bags and come back to the bags in the room. Super clean. Awesome breakfast included in our stay. Great location near the train. LOVED the balcony room which gave us space to be outside and take it all in.

Wonderful location with astounding views of the Jungfrau and adjacent mountains. Breakfast was great. Staff was great. No complaints whatsoever!

Hotel Schonegg in Wengen, Switzerland was amazing! First off, it rests in a beautiful small town on the edge of the Alps overlooking the Lauterbrunnen valley. Second, the hotel is quiet, beautifully decorated and everything you’d want for a stay in Switzerland. We enjoyed a suite with large tub, shower and the most amazing views of the Alps. The food in Restaurant 1903 is fantastic! Great selection of menu items and exceptional flavors for any appetite. Our stay at Hotel Schonegg was a highlight to our Switzerland adventure and a fantastic springboard to exploring the Alps. This review is submitted by a couple from Iowa in the U.S.

THE VIEW FROM OUR ROOM WAS BREATH-TAKING! REALLY appreciated THE STAFF AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO HELP US WITH LUGGAGE TRANSPORT, ALONG WITH THE INS AND OUTS OF HOW TO MAXIMIZE OUR TIME HIKING AND SIGHTSEEING.

We absolutely loved this place from the alpine charm, very relaxing parlors and great staff. Most importantly, the view from our room was out of this world. Highly recommend.

beautiful city and wonderful location and view

This is a beautiful hotel and the staff can’t be more accommodating. Comfy beds. Great bathroom. Breakfast was wonderful. Absolutely would stay there again

We loved the balcony which had a lovely view of the town and spectacular surrounding mountains. Very convenient to the surrounding villages and to wonderful hikes. Great breakfast!
