The bed wasn’t too comfortable so I didn’t sleep very well. It should also be noted that while the property was located about 20 mins walk from the main station (which was advertised) the taxis are overpriced to the point of being unaffordable (about 25 CHF for a five minute jaunt down the road) so really your only option is to walk especially if you’re a solo traveller. Not the property’s fault and I haven’t docked any points for it but something to keep in mind especially if you’re spending your days going on long hikes and coming back exhausted.

Beautiful location, large room, common facilities had everything you needed, great price. Had a friendly and relaxed vibe. A good base for a few days in the area.

The walk is a little far from the train station, but a taxi also goes there.

Very comfy rooms and bed, the kitchen was very nice, and we felt really safe. We loved how it was in a car-free town, because all the other neighboring towns were loud and swarming with cars.

One of the most amazing places we have ever stayed, and so welcoming! The views are unparalleled (don't bother staying down in Lauterbrunnen, or even in the centre of Wengen) and it is lovely and quiet, with just the sound of cowbells and birds. We love walking, and there were some beautiful places to walk from the hostel. The beds are really comfortable, and the pillows are the best we have ever had in any hotel. The hosts are amazing, so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. The well-equipped kitchen was fantastic, with excellent systems in place to keep it all neat, clean and tidy so that everyone can share and enjoy it. Beautiful lounge/eating area, complete with a piano (which pleased this musical family!) The photos do not do this place justice, it really is perfection - I hope to return one day, and I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in this region. Top marks Sonnenhof, fantastic!

As we were in Wengen for arunning race, we would have preferred to be closer to the station. However for a holiday or breakaway, the location is perfect.

Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts, every request we made was immediately attended to. We were most impressed with the loving care to all the details of this charming abode. Very quiet and peaceful.

Astonishing hosts, well maintained and cozy hotel/hostel, absolutely recommend to anyone, the personal touch made it more enjoyable than even some more expensive establishments :)

We didn't realize that it was a hostel and that we had a shared bathroom. Looking back, the shared bathroom was an oversight by me. It ended up working out fine, and the bathroom was always very clean.

We liked that it was quiet and cozy. We also liked the kitchen facility, and the staff made us feel welcomed. It was a nice walk to the place and great hikes all around.

Not a thing.

We loved everything about this gem. Slightly removed from the center of town so it’s deliciously quiet and wooded. All we could hear at night was the distant sound of cowbells in the mountains. Incredible hiking right outside the door, comfortable beds and super clean, well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms. And a fraction of the price of the overpriced hotels in town. Truly a magical place in a gorgeous part of the world!

Everything I like the calmness of the place, Supportive Owner, coziness and a very good vibe of the place.

Nothing!

The property was immaculate. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. The short walk from the station was jot a hindrance and was very doable with luggage. We enjoyed the peaceful walk and it allows for seclusion. We were greeted upon arrival and given a tour and recommendations. The bathrooms were spotless.

They don't advertise that there are basics for sale in the kitchen! Which was awesome and we left some behind for other travellers. Everything was amazing

Absolutely beautiful location. We didn't see any staff but I did message with a query and received a response straight away. The beds were amazingly comfortable (the pillows were phenomenal) and the facilities were impeccably clean. Didn't feel like a shared bathroom at all. It felt like a beautiful home where you were quietly welcomed with love. The slippers were a lovely touch. It's a 20 minute walk from Wengen but it's such a beautiful walk you don't notice. It's great to be a little out of the way where the only noise you hear is the water, birds and the occasional cow bell

Absolutely loved my stay.The Alps view was breathtaking, and the calm surroundings made it incredibly relaxing. The shared kitchen was clean and well equipped, perfect for cooking meals. Highly recommend.

All good, just book a taxi from the station if you have a lot of luggage, it is about 20 min walk through hilly area

Cosy room, beautiful location looking directly at the Alps and a nice walk to the house from the station. Peaceful and calm

Nothing. But if you are going back and forth on foot into town, know that while scenic and beautiful. It is just under a mile. Fine for us, but one afternoon it was pouring and we grabbed the taxi and it was 30 francs.

The room was great. Knowing it's also a part of history made it all the better. Yes the floors squeak a bit but for us it's part of the charm. The view is spectacular. Best deal in town ever if you are a little ways out.

We didnt get a room with a view despite paying a premium booking from the US.

The room is average but the location is great. If they give you the better rooms, it will have a view as well.

It's a bit of a trek from the main train station in Wengen, but overall really not too bad. A bit of a hill, but one could just get a taxi.

The value for money can't be beat for Wengen and in general, the Lauterbrunnen valley. The kitchen was big and had all the usual cooking utensils one would imagine. We also met the owners, who were very nice and talkative. The room had a double bed and was rather comfortable!

Stayed in May 2025

The property was spacious with exceptional views from the bedrooms. Kitchen facilities and space to cook fantastic. The whole building has so much history and character. Worth the walk from the train station in Wengen. Ideal for trips to Jungfraujoch.

The gap between the matresses along with the short blankets made it a bit difficult to be close to my partner.

The location, communal space, views, and amenities made for such a great stay.
