Hotel Edelweiss

Amazing place to stay in Wengen. I’m still amazed that Thomas and Sarah actually took the time to learn every guest’s name and chat to them, extending invitations to dinner and BBQs and sharing local events, but also striking the perfect balance of not feeling overly intrusive. They are so accommodating: I arrived early and was immediately told where to put my bags and when to come back, and given extensive tips by both Sarah and Thomas on what to do and why. The exterior looks old and a little kitschy, in a charmingly old-school way, but inside is modern and very clean/well-maintained. Yes, the rooms are basic (at least mine was) but they are exactly as described/pictured, and clean, comfortable, and cozy. I also expected a “garden view” or “city view” and instead ended up with an incredible view over the Lauterbrunnen Valley and the Jungfrau. The single best view I think I've ever had from a hotel and the most incredible place. I could have sat on that balcony for days! Breakfast was tasty and varied/substantial, and while I didn’t have dinner it sounded nice and the Thursday BBQ smelt good when I got home.

I loved the breakfast aspect of it. The selections were ample and everything was in good quality.

The staff was very friendly, thoughtful and nice. The view from the balkony was awesome, although the other hotel disturbed a bit. We had a dinner (around 35 CHF) at the hotel and it was really good (4 course menu). The Wifi was very fast and the room was clean and comfy. Toiletry products are well prepared and I didn't have to use my owns at all.

We were upgraded to a room with balcony and wonderful view upon our check in. Monica was very helpful and so was Tomas who gave us some alternative options to visit despite the wet weather so we managed to explore and return to enjoy our dinner at the hotel. It was chef special set menu which need to book in advance. Our first try on the cheese fondue was very interesting with the brandy combo recommended by Tomas and it was really amazing something we never tried before.Thank you and would recommend this place to travellers who needs good workout walking down the hills to the hotel and up the hills to the train station.Overall good stay and warm hospitality .

Loved the Edelweiss - easy to find and very near the village, with an amazing view of the Jungfrau mountain from the balcony in our room, Our bedroom on the top floor was clean and comfortable, with a nice big wardrobe and plenty of hooks for coats and bags, Quilts were light but warm and the colour palate so authentically local and restful. Bathroom was a bit tight but perfectly functional with everything we needed! We were also able to get tea at night-time downstairs and bring up. The Staff were superb and the friendliest we encountered on our wider tour through Switzerland, which included Lucerne and Zermatt. A big shout out to Monica and Tomas on reception who could not have been more helpful, and to our buddy Chef Mattias as well as Sara and Claudia in the dining room who were so warm, pleasant and accommodating! It is truly a special team and atmosphere in the Edelweiss, and we would love to come back again another time for sure! Thanks to all the gang for all the incredible tips on walking routes, live music in the village, history, the BBQ night and everything you all did to make it a special holiday for my husbands 50th birthday - the owners are unbelievably lucky to have a team like yours in place - you operate like a family business in their absence, so well done! Fondest regards to you all!
