We had a wonderful stay! The view from the apartment is absolutely breathtaking â you can see the entire Lauterbrunnen Valley right from the window. It's located a short walk from the station, though the uphill climb can be a bit tiring. A pick-up and drop-off service during check-in and check-out would be a great addition. Overall, it's a fantastic place to stay and highly recommended!
Good view! Beds comfortable, however pillows flat and thin like paper.
Wi-Fi worked for one day, then it didnât work.
quite a walk from train station, with uphills.
You basically have to clean the apt yourself before departing, they ask guest to sweep the floor, get sheets off bed, take trash out.etc. Pick up and drop off key is it easy, you have to first locate the office and they donât give clear instructions, and they work only from 4-6pm in office.
The price is very affordable but thereâs also lots of mold in the property, we also encountered lots of bugs. I killed at least 15 crawling bugs throughout the unit during our week stay. It wasnât apparent to me that this was actually a basement unit. It smelled like dirty water or mold so we actually had to get air fresheners to make it somewhat comfortable. You have to walk down stairs to get to the unit. The walk from the train to the actual unit is kind of far and hilly. The price was good though.
Nice location, amazing views frin the best part of Wengen.
Configuration of furniture a bit odd, could do with a rethink with a standard double bed in the bedroom, and a large sofa bed in the lounge.
But overall satisfied with the out of season stay in this apartment.
Nothi ng negative to report about this basement flat... except the tiater.! The view from studio windows down the valley unparalleled. The uphill hike into town short but invigorating. Very, very peaceful. Several hikes start from the doorstep
What a view from both bedrooms! The apartment is just far enough away from town that you don't see the multitude of tour groups yet close enough to the trams, trains and amenities. The apartment was extremely clean and supplies were plentiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
3-5 stars, amazing place but some negatives too...
First off, the staff is amazing. Very friendly and helpful!
Also, the apartment is really lovely, and absolutely worth 5 stars. Simple, airy, and an incredible view with the sound of waterfalls coming through the window. The beds are cozy, and the kitchen efficient.
What I didn't love and possibly missed in the description was how the kitchen was not stocked even minimally. No salt, no coffee/tea, and while there are many candles for fondue there were no matches, etc. I've stayed in many rentals but this is the first that didn't have salt and pepper, coffee/ tea, and the basics. You also need to provide laundry detergent.
As for my other dislikes, they are likely due to being a solo traveler with two small children and may not be a bother to another at all...but I don't want to waste time cleaning and vacuuming and stripping the bed sheets. Obviously have respect to not leave it messy, but stripping the beds and vacuuming is a bit much, as is emptying the garbages (Which are quite a ways outside) and the recycling (all the way by the train station) is not something I want to worry about when trying to get myself and two kids out the door in time, and nearly impossible with an early check out time (check out time is 10AM).
Again, I loved staying here outside of the above issues :)
