Hotel Falken

We walked up a fairly steep incline from the station to the Hotel Falken. Upon arrival, Jenny greeted us and quickly went through the paperwork before offering sparkling apple juice, which was much appreciated. Once inside our room, we went straight out to the balcony, from which there were stunning views of snow capped mountains, steep cliffs, waterfalls, and part of Wengen village itself. The only sound came from distant cowbells, and the rush of water far below in the Lauterbrunnen Valley - It was a truly magical experience! Our room wasn't plush, but it was very clean and perfect for our needs. The two beds (pushed together) were comfortable and had nice soft pillows. Towels were changed at regular intervals throughout our stay. The shower-room was quite small, but the shower itself was good. Breakfast was good with lots of choices including lovely breads, yogurts, cereals, dates, nuts, ham, cheese, eggs and pancakes. The evening meals were excellent and plentiful. (We did not have one meal which we didn't like during the whole fortnight). On our first night we met other guests that had been back to this hotel several times - a good sign indeed! All the staff (and other guests) seemed very friendly during our stay. Everyone was happy to chat about various places to explore in the area. So, would we recommend this hotel? Yes, definitely! - We would have happily stayed for a month (if we could). NB. We booked via TUI (No Representative in this region now, but they can be contacted by text /phone, if needed).

Situated close to the centre of Wengen with easy access to the train station, this historic hotel exudes charm. The Cova family and their staff made our stay special, they were friendly and helpful and attentive. The meals we ate at the hotel were wonderful and of a high standard, we especially enjoyed the Sunday buffet. We would highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed at historic Hotel Falken during our Rick Steves Family tour (family of 5). The breakfast was very good with an excellent evening buffet of traditional Swiss fare and deserts. The Mann-lichen to Kleine Scheidegg hike was closed due to snow, but the staff suggested another alternative which gave us a great view of the mountains. The hotel is close to the train station which you can take to Jungfraujoch (Top of Europe) - quite a view of the mountain peaks.
