Hotel Falken

We loved staying in this cute hotel. Wengen is such a pretty town and Hotel Falken is a gem to add to the area. The hotel manager was very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast tasted amazing. We will come back soon! Our favorite part of the hotel was Charlie. We love you Charlie <3

Gorgeous views from this property! Hard to say anything negative. It is a charming old hotel. The breakfast was great. They also have a little “shuttle” to help with luggage. The hotel sits on a steep hill - so highly recommend that. The town itself is sleepy - not too much going on, but we loved that! It’s easy to jump on the train and go somewhere nearby. I would say they could upgrade the duvets and the beds a bit. That’s the reason for 4 stars, not 5. I got an extra duvet and all the feathers were in one half of it! Even when they made the bed, they left it that way - haha.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The staff was great and the hotel was beautiful. We loved listening to the soothing sound of the cowbells from the pasture nearby.

Hotel Falken is a charming hotel perched on top of the town of Wengen. If you like character, classic charm, and warmth, you’ll love your stay. The hotel offers the most beautiful views of the mountains and the breakfast buffet (included in your stay) was delicious with many options. It’s pricier, but worth it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Falken. Our room offered great comfort and a breathtaking view, and we appreciated the consistent housekeeping. The historic charm of the lobby and dining area was very inviting. All the servers and staff were outstandingly friendly and welcoming. We particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning and the excellent coffee. While everything tasted great, I wished for a little more variety in the breakfast menu throughout our stay, but nonetheless, always enjoyed breakfast on our 4 day stay! Don’t hesitate to stay at this hotel when visiting the breathtaking village of Wengen!

Very good experience at hotel Falken, great surrounding environment, kind of old English style room and breakfast

This town is a car free zone, so going out of town will cost you a train ride. Since it was rainy and foggy day, we relaxed, just walked around the town .

Clean and wonderful our room was south west facing wonderful. Tomorrow. The beds were comfortable

The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated with excellent views from the balcony! However, since it is so old, you could hear everyone’s footsteps above you (as im sure people below us heard ours). It is much like a bed & breakfast.The staff was friendly & the breakfast buffet was very good! It is a little bit of a walk uphill to get to it if your health needs to consider that. They will give you a ride for 15 francs if needed.

Very comfortable stay with a very good dinner. Although the hotel included breakfast for all guests, many items would run out and were not replenished.

Incredible location with a magical view. Staff was very friendly and helpful as well!

The staff is delightful, friendly and helpful!

Clean room. Old style rooms. Great view.

Incredible historic hotel with great views and an amazing staff. Everyone there was so nice. It felt like a privilege to stay, even if only for a night.

Amazing guest services starting from checkin, every day greetings and excellent breakfast options. The hotel staff was so nice that they arranged surprised balloons and cake to celebrate by daughter’s birthday. Eleanora at the front desk was very kind in making us feel at home! We have a magnificent mountain peak view from our room and this hotel is just minutes away from train station, restaurants and stores.

Staff is very good and co-operative

Gorgeous view, perfect location, very clean and comfortable. And the breakfast was amazing. I'll recommend to everyone I know who's visiting the area!

Great views from the room and helpful staff, only issue is the steep uphill walk, if you have a lot of luggage ask for the pickup from the station, while the do charge for it you will be thankful you did that!

Great views!

My family and I really enjoyed the family suite for 3 nights. It was quiet and private, and spacious enough for us 5. The beds were very comfortable. We had a mountain view, which was just fantastic. We enjoyed the music at night, and could listen to it via our balcony. It was very pleasant and never bothered us. It ended before we retired each night. We enjoyed the daily breakfasts and 2 dinners at the hotel. The staff was so pleasant. The food and wine was very good. It exceeded our expectations. We got to know them, and they worked very hard to please us. Same with the office team. I would stay here again. The hotel has an "old world" ambience about it, which we enjoyed. It was a very relaxing stay. PS: it was extremely easy to reach on foot from the train station. We did not have the van shuttle us.

Absolutely loved this hotel, the staff were super friendly and make you feel like family, the restaurant is delicious, great location and you'll fall in love with their dogs. Highly recommend!

Cute and cozy vintage hotel. Would of been ranked higher if the food was better. Million dollar voew from our room!

What an awesome place

Amazing hotel, amazing food , amazing views, amazing service!

Older classic hotel charm in Wengen with stunning views of the Alps. Cozy adjoining rooms for our family with great breakfast offerings with very friendly staff and guard dog, Charlie! Short walk to the train station and town center.

Wengen is a hidden gem and this property was fabulous! I stayed with my 4 kids on the top level, which was a space with 2 rooms and a loft. We had plenty of sleeping space and magnificent views of the mountains and valley. There are cute shops and fantastic restaurants in Wengen. Hotel Falken offered a nice breakfast, and the staff was welcoming and helpful to us during our stay.

Great place We had a great experience

It was great! Very quaint

Beautiful location. Make sure you arrive before the last train from Lauterbrunnen leaves before midnight to go up to Wengen. Love the car free town. The view from our hotel was amazing.

The hotel is well mantained, very clean and rooms are antique but chic. It match very well with the area and is located in a hill overlooking the town and the mountains. The service was great! I hope I can go back in the future.

Wonderful location, it is just as shown in the picture, you can see the mountain through the window

Beautiful location, delicious breakfast, and great service!

Hotel Falken was so beautiful and comfortable. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The food is so good and the views are stunning.

We loved this hotel. It was very clean and convenient to town. The staff were all super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent property with amazing Mountain Views from the room. Included breakfast was simple but delicious. Very friendly staff and they held the luggage for more than half a day after checkout.

I’m sure in the high season this hotel is great but we visited in April and were one of only a handful of guests there. Due to this there was no restaurant or bar service at the hotel in the evening and no buffet breakfast. (In the morning we were just asked what we wanted for breakfast and without a menu we didn’t really know what they had.) The hotel smelt of paint / varnish throughout and there were large cardboard boxes at the front as assume for the low season it’s a good time to refurbish but not great when staying here. For the price we paid we were disappointed. The views are great and there are lovely pieces of furniture around the hotel but the atmosphere was so lacking we didn’t really spend any time there as it felt too quiet and awkward to be enjoyable.

If you are fascinated by an historic hotel and spend a lot of time in the public places you might enjoy this hotel. If not, there are better options. The hotel is close to downtown but it is up quite a steep hill. The bathroom is advertised as large but more than half is a huge soaking tub with high sides that makes taking a shower dicey. Breakfast is served from 7 to 10 but if you don’t get there by 8:45, you will not get the full selection which isn’t very big to start with. They make a limited number of croissants and when you ask about having one at 9 AM, they say it would take 20 minutes. Before 8:45 or thereabouts, there are three types of bread. After that only one remains. This pattern continued for the three days we stayed there.

AMAAAAZING!!! Would highly recommend to anyone and would love to stay here again. Everything was perfect. The views were great and I love that it’s a no car town so everyone is out walking to dinner & activities. Huge fan!

This character hotel did not disappoint.

Exceptional property. Love the history & charm

Nice historical place, calm and cozy. Amazing!

It was an interesting historic hotel with great views. The lift is one of the highlights to my husband. We both like the dinner served by its restaurant. If they can enhance the variety of breakfast, it would be great. I have to say their bread is excellent.

We got a family suite and it was really nice

Charming hotel with a very convenient location and excellent service by the staff.

This hotel is a historic one since 1800s, the lounge has a relaxing feeling, and staffs are friendly. Rooms are clean and quiet, but a bit dated. Beds are comfortable. Views are fantastic. Would love to stay longer. Their free breakfast is also great.

Amazing cute hotel with breathtaking views!

A family run hotel. You can feel the history and intimacy but also modern touches and clean

Beautiful stay in a beautiful town

Overall pretty good

The hotel location is amazing! The views from the window are breathtaking. However, the trek/hike to the hotel is a workout! Be aware if you have too much luggage, the hotel does offer pickup service from the train station. Also, I didn’t like the bathroom tap running on separate faucets. It was too hot or too cold and hard to get the right temperature to wash face early in the morning. The tub is also very high to step into, could be a major issue for the elderly as there is great risk of slipping.

Nice, but slightly snooty service. Good, but overpriced—like much in Switzerland.

View is gorgeous

Beautiful historic hotel. Amazing views and vintage charm. Great hotel restaurant.

Simply Amazing!

Historical place nice and aged

The hotel has a lot of potential and is in desperate need for renovations. All wooden flooring is extremely squeaky in rooms (we had two) and throughout common areas. I think that update alone would enhance the property and guest experience exponentially. Steep hill to walk up, especially with luggage and stroller, so be prepared! I didn't mind and enjoyed the challenge, but other family members did. The breakfast was decent, rooms has amazing views, and were very clean and quiet. Mattress was not comfortable. Overall, overpriced for what you get. I appreciated the classic decor throughout, and music in the lobby.

Lovely property and they had a cute dog

Property is old but can’t beat the location. Amazing views.

We loved the period charm, the quiet and convenient location, the friendly staff. We had two dinners there, both very good. We were treated to traditional alpine music two evening.

Beautiful, historic hotel with amazing views. Our room and bath were large and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice and we ate dinner there, too, and the cheeseburger was amazing. It is an uphill walk to the hotel but so worth it.

we loved our stay at Hotel Falken

We absolutely loved our stay here. As Americans visiting Switzerland for the first time, this property was super unique to us. We had incredible service and felt so welcomed. Just note that there is no TV in the room (who needs it with views like that) and the walk up to the hotel is pretty steep. If we ever come back to this area we will for sure stay here again.

Good place

Wonderful stay

I have been on the road now for 10 days. This is the finest hotel I have stayed at. Front desk gentleman meet our every need. Food was top notch and very tasty. Mountain View’s are awesome. I would stay here again and again!

Quaint and charming hotel. Restaurant was closed which would have been nice after a day of hiking.

Small room with very basic conveniences

The property needs renovating. From the outside it looks nice, but the rooms are beat. Our son and shower did not drain. The matters was sinking to the floor and part of the floor of the room felt like it was about to fall in. I would give this hotel next. 1 star if one at all.

This property is exquisite! Lovely on the third floor room overlooking the mountains. Bed super comfortable. The breakfast could not have been better. Easy walk to town and train station. Superb!

Beautiful . Great views. Walking distance to train. Sloped walk to hotel but doable

Beautifully authentic Swiss alpine family-run hotel. Stay here, it's lovely

Great grand old hotel right in the heart of wengen.

Amazing experience. You have a mountain view from the balcony. Rooms are spacious with awesome services. Hotel staff is also very helpful and customer oriented. My kids enjoyed the stay. Walking distance from Wengen train station which is also a plus. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Very nice hotel, a few minutes away from the train station, uphill. Breakfast buffet was great.

Such a great hotel. It’s a bit of a climb from the train station, but great location and very walkable.

Old school charm transported us back a century. We plan to return some day.

Charming and cozy, perfect for the Swiss Alps atmosphere.

This hotel was so uncomfortable to stay at. There were cobwebs in the room. It was poorly cleaned. The worst part: There was no AC (which is common for the town) but at least have fans to provide for your guests. It’s hot in July, and the rooms are hot without any AC or fan. My kids were sweating in their sleep. I called reception to ask for flat sheets since the comforters were not even close to being necessary and they told me they were out. Ridiculous. The pillows were so flat, it’s like they were hardly there. The breakfast was just okay. There were no tv’s in the room. Rather they had a “tv room” which was a small tv behind the bar in the common area. You’re hosting people around the world and charging top dollar. Have some decency and keep up with the global hotel standards. Overall I am very unhappy about my stay and wish I stayed somewhere else for the money I paid.

We absolutely loved this hotel! Old time charm that my children adored. Nice breakfast offerings in a charming dining room.

We stumbled upon this hotel last min and it’s been the best part of our trip. The staff was so welcoming and the views were breath taking. We can’t wait to go back!

This property is definitely not like what you see in the pictures. It's a very old outdated room. It was so crammed and for the price we pay, it's ridiculously very basic. The bathroom was so crammed. The staff were OK, not very friendly, except for one porter who was very helpful and nice. The breakfast was average. Not what we expected for such a price.

This hotel was perfect for our family! I loved the old fashioned charm and the views were to die for. Perfect location and the service was top notch. This is my new favorite place to stay in Wengen!

Both the Hotels.com and The Falken Hotel trumpeted the excellent Hotel restaurant on their websites. This was one of the main reasons that we booked. We were looking forward to this - but arrived only to be told that the Hotel restaurant was closed for Low Season. We said that we understood this but that it should have been mentioned on their website, as otherwise we would not have booked. The Proprietress had no answer to this, other than to keep repeating the above excuse. of 'low season'. Both Hotels.com and the Hotel Falken are at fault here. There was no option to book full board on the Hotels.com website so we had to wait until arrival at the hotel before we found out that there was no restaurant. We ate instead at the Italian restaurant at the other end of town (one of only two open) and on 2 nights got soaked walking there (no lift available from the hotel). Other nights we had a picnic in our room. The hotel itself is well past its prime. I understand that their main selling point is that it is traditional and historic - but if was difficult to find any comfortable place to sit on the ancient furniture in the lounge area. Our beds were clean and acceptable but definitely not super comfy or intended for stays of more than a few days. Finally, do not try to do the 7/8 minute walk with your luggage up to the hotel from the station unless you are young and fit. It is very, very steep and we were glad we had booked a pick up from the hotel.

It is a charming hotel. Very unique. Amazing views. Very clean. Love it.

Beautiful very heritage property lovely location will definitely go there again

Very friendly and helpful Amazing views

Excellent location, views are to die for. The hotel is very old and historic. Tub over flows and the sink has separate hot and cold taps. No iron or blow drier. There was a wedding that weekend and we didn’t get a good night sleep - they were very loud. Steep walk from the train station, definitely not for the elderly or people with bad knees. Some servers at breakfast were not friendly. Will I go back? Maybe.

Such a homey vibe. Family run hotel makes like your at home! Breakfast was even better, was assigned my own table with fast attentive service! If there was a higher rating it would be a 10! Thank you for an amazing experience Falken Family!

We loved Hotel Falken and would definitely stay there again! Wengen is centrally located to many activities (Jungfraujoch, Lauterbrunnen, Trummelbach Falls, Schilthorn, Interlaken) and the town itself is quaint and absolutely gorgeous (there are many restaurants, grocery store, skylift/cable car, tennis courts, swimming pool, park, church, mini-golf, cows). We parked at the Lauterbrunnen train station and it is about a 10 min train ride to get to Wengen (they leave every 30 mins). The hotel is just a short walk from the train station which we found convenient for our entire stay for carrying luggage, catching trains etc- vs being at another hotel further away in the town. The staff was very nice and helpful, especially Alice, who greeted us with drinks, gave us recommendations for restaurants, and also tips on navigating the trains and many activities nearby. The owner brings her sweet dogs to the hotel and my children looked forward to seeing them every day! They were able to accommodate our family of 5 in one room and the kids loved their loft type bedroom! Breakfast was from 7am-10am and they have a table reserved for you with your room number on the table. They do offer dinner 5 nights/week. The views from the room are stunning and it was fun to hear the bells from the cows and sheep when the windows are open. The bedding was comfortable and they give you a bottle of water every day. We loved it and we wished we could've stayed longer!

Staff - Wonderful, amazing, excellent, helpful, efficient, professional! Always ready to help! Spectacular views...breathtakingly beautiful! No cars allowed - no parking. You must be in good shape to walk uphill with your luggage to the hotel, unless you request the hotel for pick-up from city center. Everybody walks the hill to hotels and residences. Very relaxing, calming, peaceful - every comfort.

Charming, intimate feeling at the historic hotel with breathtaking location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Buffet and breakfast were very good.

We were so happy in Falken. Excellent service, food and people. The only thing to consider to fox in the near future is the shower room, because it is too small and the handheld location doesn’t help,. The rest was nice and clean!!!

The good- Very beautiful scenery. The bad- Very old property, floors squeak, walls are thin, uneven floors make tripping hazard. The Ugly - The walk up the hill from the train station to the hotel is horrible. They don’t warm you about this not so they suggest making arraignments for at least your bags. I would not recommend this property to older people or those who are not in good health.

A very lovely old hotel with the best staff and of course views from the room that is hard to even describe

My kids and I enjoyed our ski holiday here. So much so they want to come back next year! The food and the wait staff were a highlight. The breakfasts and dinners were great. They also have some very old wines available from their cellar for reasonable prices. The rooms are a bit dated and in need of a makeover after many years, but on a ski holiday you are only just sleeping there so we didn’t mind. The bar and lounge were quite comfortable. The location is great. Ideal for families and foodies unless you are looking for fancy or modern.

Great romantic old-style place, perfect service, very good food

Like a beautiful moment in time, this is a very well cared for gem. The rooms are comfortable but filled with antiques. We loved it! Beautiful scenery, and great visit. Would stay there again for sure. Had a cool vibe of classy antique.

The staff and lack of hospitality was the biggest disappointment. In Wengen there are no cars so it would have been nice to be offered help to and from the train station with luggage as the hotel is up on a hill. The staff was not very friendly at check in. The rooms had thin walls and you could hear conversations in the rooms next door. The beds were very uncomfortable and furniture felt very old. The hotel was clean but overall disappointing and would not stay there again.

Lovely friendly relaxed atmosphere, quant decor and furnishings but food good and great value and location
