The Baren exceeded all my expectations. It was cozy, clean, and the staff were so accommodating. I cannot recommend this place enough. We also enjoyed using the sauna facilities and the breakfast was great. We came a little late one day and the server made us more eggs and bacon fresh. Beautiful area as well close to a bus stop.

Loved our stay here, such a charming hotel in a beautiful location. Parking on-site & convenient spot to get everywhere. Room was spacious, clean & warm, pack earplugs though as not super soundproofed. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast & restaurant foods were delicious.

Everyone was very nice and helpful. We had a room with balcony on the 3rd floor but because the hotel is 300 yr old there was no elevator. We did get help from a staff member to take the bags up and down. Stayed 2 nights and ate at their restaurant, both breakfast and dinner were good. Very small village, train station was close by.

Stayed for 2 nights and loved everything about this hotel. Quaint and charming with everything you need for a wonderful stay in the Interlaken area. We had 2 rooms for our family of 4 and did not want to leave. Fantastic mountain views from bedroom windows. Enjoyed a meal in the restaurant and had a couple of beers in the bar. Breakfast was great with everything you needed. Switzerland is not cheap but this hotel was a fantastic option and not too pricey when compared to others.

We spend two nights at the Bear Inn, we got a top floor room which was exceptional because we had a beautiful view of the mountains, the room is spacious but the bathroom is small, this is a vintage building so floors are wood and if you walk you hear the wood cracking, the 105 bus leaves you right next to the hotel or otherwise you can walk 10 minutes to the train station. Breakfast is ok

We had a good size room with a bathtub. We were upgraded to a balcony with a excellent view of the mountain. Restaurant options in the area are sparse. The dinner dining at the hotel is good, but expensive. The breakfasts are excellent.

This is great hotel and offers free breakfast buffet which was probably the best we had in Europe thus far! My only suggestion is it’s time to swap out the pullout couches for real beds in the 4 person rooms. While the twin beds were extremely comfortable, the pull out was not at all but what you’d expect from a pull out. The staff was amazing and the view in from the top floor room was so beautiful to wake up to

Wife wants to come back here

The hotel is a bit out of town but very easy transit using the guest pass provided by the hotel. Hotel itself had some creaky floor boards but was extremely comfortable after a lot of hiking and walking. The bed was the most comfortable bed we’ve had on our trip so far. Bathroom is small but shower was great.
