Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms with a nice view and a convenient location near the Maennlichen-Bahn. The service is friendly and professional. The dining experience is excellent with a wide variety of food choices, making life easy. However, noise on the main street can be disruptive at times.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a super view over the Lauterbrunnen valley. The service was very pleasant and attentive, especially from Oliver who made us feel truly at home. The location is ideal for exploring the area, and the dining experience offered a great variety of delicious options to start the day.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with huge baths, ideal for those who enjoy a relaxing soak. The swimmers' pool is perfect for those looking to stay active. The location is unbeatable, close to the cable car and train station, amidst beautiful surroundings in Wengen. The dining experience provides delicious meals but lacks in some variety. Overall, a great choice for travelers seeking comfort and convenience.
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.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. The views of the valley from the upgraded balcony were breathtaking, and the location was perfect for exploring the surrounding attractions. However, the dining options were a bit limited. Overall, great value for money.
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. Overall, a great choice for families looking for a convenient and scenic stay.
The hotel offers two-story rooms with bunk beds providing a family-friendly setup and a balcony with stunning views of the Lauterbrunnen Valley. While some areas could use a bit of renovation, the rooms have unique features that add charm to the stay.
