A lovely hotel. Very warm (too warm sometimes - had to turn off the radiator in the bedroom!). Staff were all welcoming and very friendly. Food was exceptional - it was extremely well presented and there was a great variety throughout the week (we had booked a package holiday whereby we didn't get to choose what we ate each night). My husband is coeliac and so must eat gluten free food, the hotel understood this and provided safe, interesting alternatives for him if he couldn't eat the same as the rest of us. This is quite unusual, especially in a country with little understanding of, or provision for, those people who need to eat gluten free for health reasons.

“Christmas in Meiringen”

We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights over Christmas (25 - 27th Dec). The hotel is very nice with a warm welcome from the hosts and convenient for the lift up to Hasliberg. We were a family of 4 and had half board. The quality of the meals in the evening was excellent and they were very accommodating for my wife’s dietary requirements. All in all we had a fantastic stay.

Lovely hotel with super staff ! There is a church nearby with bells that strike throughout the night. With windows shut the noise is minimal and does not disturb sleep. It is about a 10 to 15 minute walk up a slight slope from the railway station. There is a specific bar serving draught beer, bottled beer and wine. Large beer approximately 6 Swiss francs. Small glass of wine approximately 5 Swiss francs. Bottle of wheat beer 7 Swiss francs. Rooms are comfortable with a flat-screen TV and a shower style bathroom. Some bathrooms are glass enclosed, and though slightly opaque do not offer a great deal of privacy for friends who are travelling together rather than couples/partners. I found the beds rather low tho comfortable ( I am over 6') . Meiringen is quite a small town and claims to be the the site of the origin of meringue ! Two smallish supermarkets and shops and bars along the main street. A small supermarket by the railway station. The hotel is approximately half an hour's walk from the Reichenbach Falls. 15 minutes from the cable car. and a 5-minute ride on the small blue train to the Aareschluct. Very good information centre at the railway station with English spoken. Bus station immediately opposite railway station. ATM at the bottom of the road.

We stayed here in July for 7 nights on a package which included dinner each night. We had a lovely time. The hotel is spotlessly clean, the owners are lovely hosts, and the food was great. On our deal there was no choice of food but it was all very good and not having to make any choices simplified things so much! It was 29C during the day when we were there with some hot nights, so the bedroom did get pretty warm at night. and the church bells do go through the night as well. Neither of those bothered us too much but they might be more important to some people. Meiringen was an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area - good transport links and less busy.
