Alpenrose Hotel and Gardens

Cozy, comfortable room. Very hot water for baths. Good breakfast selection. Excellent location. Walked to restaurants for dinner. Close to drive to Interlakken and tourist sites. Good advice from Reinhardt and his staff. Only regret is not being able to eat Reinhardt's cooking, since he retired from his restaurant. Disliked · Noise from other guests, but that's not the fault of the inn. Perhaps they could put a sign on each floor with Quiet Hours listed to remind guests to be courteous.

Typical Swiss experience. Do not expect an American experience. Very polite staff, great breakfast and cozy room. Clean bathroom. Amazing view of the Alps even by been laying on the bed. Great location for train or car. Very close to train station and free parking on the sidewalk.

I stayed solo for one night in June - having stayed elsewhere in the village for 3 nights, so this review is relatively objective. Very conveniently located just a couple of minutes walk from the railway station and directly across the road from the tourist information office (get your regional travel pass here). Limited parking spaces, but I managed. More of a problem later on in the afternoon it seems. Very friendly, helpful and informative reception staff. The public areas of the hotel have retained their traditional features, which is to be welcomed. However, in general, internally the hotel is looking a little tired and worn. The garden, as others have reported, is a delight and so well maintained. The views up the valley towards the Jungfrau are limited by other close by properties. The price to pay for the convenient mid village location. My small single room had a side view (you get what you pay for) and like the corridor, was dated and a little tired with thin curtains. Clean, good quality bed linen and comfortable enough, (as long as you are not taller than 6 feet for the bed). Some evening and early morning road noise - not too intrusive. Bathroom clean and functional with a curtained shower over the bath. Thin towels, Buffet breakfast was to an average standard and quality. The restaurant was welcoming with staff who spoke excellent English. An average menu with average prices. Represented good enough value given the location. Would I stay again? Probably not until the tired areas have been refreshed - I’d be be prepared to pay a premium for this.

Many hotels get away with a great view or location. Not in this case. The Alpenrose hotel and gardens met all expectations and more. From when you walk in you are met with friendliness. The garden is beautiful. The food fantastic and the view to die for. but what impressed us most was the small things. The staff, not only trying to make your stay pleasant, but ensuring that you have all the info you need for your day trips and other plans. This warm, caring and genuine, hospitality you often struggle to find in the EU and Switzerland. We look forward to go back for the winter and some Skiing! Thank you all.
