8/10 Very good

Perfect hotel!
Hotel Baren is a wonderful hotel with a spectacular view from our balcony room! The staff are very friendly and helpful when we had to switch rooms because we had two separate bookings. Wengen is a perfect base to see the area. Very accessible to trains and cable cars. The rooms are a bit smaller than preferred but the balcony makes it feel a bit bigger and when you are in the mountains the rooms are generally small.

4/10 Fair

The good: call ahead for directions from Wengen. Decent sized double room. The downside: The Hotel is actually further down below the station on a steep path- heavy baggage is not convenient. They did not help with either theirs nor third party taxi.They were keen to book us in for evening meals - the waitress was not helpful with portion sizing, my wife asked for a small portion as she was unwell, they refused and got huge us portions that the kids and my wife did not like (overly oily fish fritters etc) nor could finish.Snarky remarks from the servers that we have too much food. I had clearly specified that I had an egg allergy, the waitress said she would ask. Another waitress got the food and I was about to eat it before I double checked and the answer was again- 'I will ask' (!!)-this is unacceptable in my view,simply too careless about the customers health. Very awkward ambience and rushed treatment from the servers.Also this restaurant is more expensive than the standard 'Swiss expensive'. We did not go there again.The rooms are separated with sliding doors that go completely inside the slot- my little child's hand got stuck in the slot while she wanted to move,it was hurtful for her. No lock or exhaust fans in the toilet. Lock and key for hotel doors. Room not cleaned while away. Snarky comments and inappropriate comments from the receptionist during checkout. Expensive place with little value. This Hotel was the low point of our Swiss trip.
