    The only issue was that the only spot to charge was outside the room if you were staying in dorms, and it was a USB rack so it wasn't the fastest.

    Amazing location, the staff were all very friendly and accommodating, the food was all delicious and most of all, the views were absolutely stunning. The beds were also very comfy in the dorm room.

    Pretty pricey for a dorm. If you want to eat at the hostel ( there arent very many places around), expect to quite a lot for fairly basic food.

    Very clean place with an amazing view of the mountains. Great host

    Best sunrise in the heart of the Alps

    That I only stayed one night.

    Going up to the Sonnenberg dormitories is a bit of a hike in itself - which self selects the people staying there, resulting in the best crowd ever. I slept in one of the common dormitories and had the penthouse view from the window - a full view over the mountains and the sunrise in the morning. Chris is the most gracious host ever, and he is more than happy if you bring friends along to this little gem.

    Christoph was incredible. Such a beautiful place and the view is unbeatable. He was also so nice about dinner (which was delicious) and I mentioned I was living off bread and coffee and he made me a plate of vegetables after the kitchen had closed. Just so nice to talk to and super hospitable!

    A bit tricky to get there after 5:00 PM (you can only walk from the village of Mürren)... but the views are worth it. At night, the starry sky overlooking the Edge, Jungfrau, and Mönch was the most beautiful landscape I've ever seen.

    This Mürren accommodation is wonderfully located, offering classic Swiss charm. While it requires a bit of an uphill walk from Mürren station, you also have the option to ride a tram up and enjoy a short, scenic 10-minute downhill stroll to the property. It's a convenient choice for exploring! Like many great places in Switzerland, there's a Coop supermarket nearby, perfect for grabbing essentials before check-in. We found all the staff to be incredibly nice and helpful, making our stay very pleasant. The meals offered are not expensive and definitely worth trying – unfortunately, we had to leave early and missed breakfast, but it sounds like a good option for future guests. A solid choice for a comfortable and well-supported stay in Mürren!"

    They don’t have any facilities for self cooking in the kitchen, If you want to cook something then you have to pay 10 euros for using dishes. There is no restaurant around hostel, you have to buy everything in Interlaken or Lauterbrunnen. They have chef and foods etc but it’s so expensive for budgeted travellers.

    The staff were warm and attentive, showing genuine care for the guests. Overall, everything was excellent.

    Our 3 night stay at Sonnenberg Dormitory was simply unforgettable. The location is pure magic tucked away above Mürren with stunning views all around. Yes, there’s a little hike up from the village, but every step is rewarded tenfold once you arrive. Chris, our host, is one of the kindest souls we’ve met. We shared a beautiful last evening with him, gathered around delicious wine, cheese, and charcuterie, enjoying warm and genuine conversation. It felt like staying with an old friend. Thank you, Chris and the lovely team, for your generosity, your stories, and for making us feel so welcome.

    The location is pretty much among the mountains which was about 15-25 mins walk down from Allmendhubel station and it is advised to bring luggage as the walk path is rough as you are walking on the mountain itself I think? But still it was beautiful.

    Loved the host! He was super friendly and got our room upgraded for free as we had to hike in the snow. The facilities were too good and it was quiet and calm as well.

    The location (be prepared to climb 200m from the train station in Mürren as the hotel is quite far above the village).

    The location (for the view in the morning and the easy start towards the trail) and friendly staff.

    It wasn’t clear where I was meant to go ie which room I was in when I did self check-in, and the pillow was just a ball of fluff

    Beautiful isolated location with amazing views, having a coffee watching the sun peep over the mountains was therapeutic. Accommodated for a late check-in which was also nice
