We spent three nights at the Alpenruh in early May. Our room for three was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the owner spent a lot of time answering my many questions about the area. Breakfast was extensive and served in a lovely, light-filled, painted panel breakfast room with stunning views. Overall the hotel... More

The room at the Hotel Alpenruh was ok, but overpriced. The primary reason we would not return is based on the attitude of the staff. The members of the hotel staff do not make any concerted effort to make guests feel welcome. They seem to be somewhat paranoid and untrusting of the guests. When I returned a couple of coffee...

Yes- as reviewer have mentioned it was right next to the Gondola (not the train station) so since we had a rental car we had parked a the bottom and rode up - it was a good location for getting luggage in and out. Clean room - mattress is not great but it is Europe... They were very friendly and... More

We spent two nights here and loved it! Rooms were clean, had adequate space and very comfortable. The staff were busy, but always very helpful and eager to be of service. The cafe serves absolutely amazing food (prices, like all places in this region are high due to what it takes to get it here--but worth every bite!) with views... More

Hotel Alpenruh was right next to the Gondola to Piz Gloria (which I'll write a review for under attractions!). Our room was clean, spacious and had a view of the alps that beckoned me to take pictures! I must have taken 50 from our balcony. Breakfast in the revolving restaurant atop Piz Gloria was included in the price. The food... More

Hotel Alpenruh was one of a few that were open in the time just before the December 2012 ski season. I was finishing a business trip and my wife joining me for a few extra days to see the Alps. We were not familiar with the area before and normally rely on Rick Steves recommendations for European hotels. He had... More

The most perfect location to spend our First Christmas away from all the family. The hosts Melanie and Uri were most welcoming and even arranged a Christmas Eve torchlight walk around the village and up on to the mountain paths complete with Melanie's home made Gluwein and under the stars opposite the Jungfrau Monch and Eiger peaks The rest of...

Perfect location to ski the gimmelwald/murren area and incredibly gracious hosts. One of the owners (melanie?) was at the front desk when I arrived late on friday night after the kitchen was closed so she personally made me food and brought it up to my room. All of the staff was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. Beautiful hotel and rooms with... More
