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

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.

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.

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.

A beautiful property with friendly staff and lovely service. The restaurant serves delish food !! Wilderswil is a quaint town with swiss houses around and expansive views of snow clad mountains. Our room offered view of the snow clad mountains and cosy setting inside.

Nice stay at a Swiss chalet with rustic charm. Stayed in a clean, attic room with a scenic balcony. Electrical outlets are few and on the older side, weak hair dryer and small shower space, and single, soft bed, but it was comfortable and homey. The fan was very helpful in dispersing the summer heat. The water kettle was a nice amenity, but the breakfast spread was the best part of the stay, everything was freshly made, plentiful and delicious. Just beware of the stairs if you have a lot of luggage. Location is a 10 min walk from Wilderswil train station, or 2 stops on 105/111 bus. Neighborhood is very quiet and safe.

Room was cozy and had great views. Quiet town away from tourists. Breakfast buffet included. Nice restaurant for lunch and dinner. The only downside was the lack of friendliness among staff, especially the evening waitress who was snippy from the start. The evening receptionist was also a little cold and the morning staff did not acknowledge us at all both mornings.

This is a traditional Swiss style hotel in a village just outside of Interlaken. The location is stunning, with mountains visible from the neighbourhood, and there are good transport links to Interlaken with a regular bus service and frequent trains. You get a travel card when checking in, so we used this transport to get around. There is plenty of parking at the hotel, it cost 10 CHF a day. Our rooms were comfortable, albeit a little dated. There is no lift so we lugged our suitcase up 3 sets of stairs to the room. There is a kettle, but coffee/milk is extra. However the accommodation was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly too. We went for the half board option, and the evening meal was really good with a tasty selection of local dishes, plus a children’s menu. Breakfast was continental, although we found that by 9AM the food choice had become a bit more limited.
