Hotel Falken

We have been to Wengan several times before to other hotels during the ski season and this year my wife and I stayed here with our son and two grandchildren for what appeared to be the last week of the ski season in Wengan which we wasn't aware of . Wengan is beautiful place and this hotel fits perfectly into the historical charm of the village as it is a Historical Hotel and if that is what you like then it is perfect as the whole hotel is oldie worldly with creaking floorboards and doors and historical charm in its decoration and furnishings. However the bathrooms were very modern and clean and effective. with optional balconies and south facing views. The service that was provided was excellent and the food which consisted of several courses was okay but not brilliant. Due to our stay being late in the season there were very few people in the Hotel which meant there was absolutely NO atmosphere (not even any music!) which we were disappointed with. There was no pianist at the piano and the bar was closed after the first day, although bottles could be ordered through reception when they were there. The lights were shut off at 10.00pm which forced us out into the town where we had an enjoyable time in several very pleasant bars.. If the hotel is open and taking bookings all facilities should be available which they were not. The hotel is up the hill which made it a steep walk back from the town. Accepting Switzerland is not not a cheap place to stay or ski, we were still surprised to find the cheapest bottle of wine on the menu was 35 francs and their house red was also a similar price which is usually cheaper. Their ski room is a hut down a few steps away from the hotel which isn't so great but was okay. We had a fantastic week skiing and had a fabulous time in Wengan and although the Hotel was okay and serviced all your needs with the exception of no TV in any of the rooms to catch up on the news ect it was comparatively expensive for what you got especially when we had to pay substantially more for a room with a view and extra again for the balcony, we wouldn't choose to go there again. This review might all be based on it being their last couple of weeks in the season but that should not detract from the service or facilities given

Loved the Falken, great atmosphere. We found the food wonderful. Would definitely recommend. Piano music every evening, reasonably priced drinks. The rooms are old fashioned but the shower was ultra powerful. Not all rooms have balconies, but views are wonderful.
