I stayed at the Sunnstar for 10 days in July and had a great experience overall. The central location was excellent, making it easy to access local amenities, although the rooms could feel a little cramped during busy times. The service was top-notch with extremely polite and helpful staff, and the dining options were generally good with a variety of selections. However, the coffee wasn't to my taste. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the enjoyment of my stay.

The hotel offers stunning views of the Lauterbrunnen valley and Jungfrau from the balcony with comfortable wicker chairs and a table. The location is perfect, just steps away from the cable car in the charming village of Wengen. Dining serves typical European fare with some limited options.
