Reviews of Historisches Hotel Bären 2 stars

The views and the remote location.

There was no restaurant open and no where to get any food close by, it was a 15 minute drive to the nearest shop.

We had a pleasant stay at the Historisches Hotel Bären, located at a good spot to explore the region and its main activities. The interesting interior made it an experience, while the included breakfast was fine to start the day properly.

that was clean.

There was no shampoo in the bathroom, I have never seen a hotel without toiletries, you had to pay extra to change towels and sheets. The bed mattress was very uncomfortable. We got back pain.

This was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. If you're looking to stay in a traditional part of the city and value peace and tranquility, Historisches Hotel Bären is perfect. The decor is tasteful and the views are breathtaking. Since it's a historic property, there's no air conditioning, but we never felt we needed it. The room even included a cozy corner with an electric kettle, coffee, tea, and chocolates - a detail that made us feel especially welcome. The breakfast was outstanding, and the service exceptionally friendly. I truly hope to return in the future! P.S. The next day we visited Oeschinensee, just a 30-minute drive away. The route is so scenic that every minute is worthwhile.

Nothing. The accommodation had everything we needed, check-in and parking were extremely easy.

Great location and views, beautiful surroundings. The staff we met were lovely. Breakfast was fine!

Black mould in the grooves between the tiles in the bathroom, the bathroom also smelled old and musty. The balcony seemed to be falling apart (bent tables and curved/broken balcony floors). The hotel was very noisy as there were wooden floors in the rooms and they charge a ridiculous amount of money (15 CHF) for changing the towels, irrespective the duration of your stay - at no point they will replace your towels for free.

The place was amazing. The room was very lovely and cute.

The breakfast was not giving. Only bread with pork and cheese. In a hotel you would expect at least some baked egg or chicken on your bread.

Our room was one with mountain view’s from our balcony with a jacuzzi, which we very much enjoyed during our 5 night stay. The included breakfast was very good, as well as the provided kettle in our room for making coffee and meals. Location! So quiet and serene. Very close to hiking trails and the bus stop as well as a little post office/convenience store.

The restaurant being closed - was tricking planning dinner in the evenings since there is no other restaurant close by and the bus has limited hours in the evening. (Not an issue if you have your own transportation, but we did not.) The charge for fresh towels/sheets - because we stayed for 5 nights, new towels would have been nice after a few days. Our shower head’s hardware was faulty and it would not stay up/would drop down to waist level. Also, no shampoo/body wash provided.

View and hot tub were amazing!

Higher or better dividers between the balconies would be nice. Our neighbors were very loud and smoked many cigarettes which made the hot tub experience less enjoyable.

All was great! 👍

Great view of the mountains from the balcony. Room was reasonable size, clean and functional. Breakfast was ok. Lots of hikes in close proximity. Enjoyed our stay in old historical building with great views that could be much better with some friendly customer service. Small fridge at entrance that we used admins in room.

Had to pay 3 Euros per day for parking that wasn’t described - not a lot though annoying. No real soul to the place as staff were pretty unsmiling and uncommunicative(though efficient). Nowhere really close to eat though found nice friendly pasta/pizzeria about 10 mins away on corner at junction on way to Fruitigen.

Staff was very friendly and helpful, room was very big and beautiful and the spa bath on the balcony eas absolutely amazing! The views are truly gorgeous.

Really good room. And fabolous view from the dpa and balcony.

Great service and stay! Thank you!

We had one of the worst experiences of our lives at this hotel. The manager was aggressive, threatened to expel us late at night (23h15)over an additional guest fee (our baby), then opened our door without permission, terrifying my wife who was undressed and asleep with our baby. He used profane language, called me an idiot, and forced me to pay CHF 110 by card despite originally agreeing to CHF 50. No receipt was given. Completely unprofessional and dangerous - do not stay here, especially if you're traveling with a family. I've submitted a formal complaint to Booking.com. My family and myself areleft traumatized by this experience. The worst we had in our lives.
