My husband and I spent 4 days in Murren, Switzerland in mid-August of 2009. We traveled by train from Paris to the Bernese Oberland area, and as we ascended into the Alps we were stunned by the beauty of the region. You do have to go through Interlaken and take a couple of trains and cable cars just to get... more

We stumbled upon the Hotel Alpenruh while strolling through Murren and stopped there to enjoy lunch out on their sunny outdoor patio. After seeing the quality and cleanliness of the hotel, we opted to leave our hotel in Interlaken for this quiet, superb location in Murren. We were not at all disappointed. Murren is a delightful village that is a... more

We stayed at the Alpenruh for 7 nights and we had been there 5 days before our towels were even changed. The cleanliness of our hotel room was not very good. There was the remenants of food under the dresser in our room when we arrived and it was still there when we left. The food was well below average.... more

If you're looking for a very clean, updated, modest, traditional Swiss hotel that won't break your budget the Alpenruh is for you. Murren is the place to stay if you're not looking for 1,000 shops, bars and restaurants. If you're headed to the mountains to hike or ski and want to enjoy the peace and quite, head to Murren.

My 7-year-old son and I stayed here in July 2008. I am finally finishing the reviews. My son liked this place and it would be good for large families and budget travellers. I like more elegant, more "special" places that are unique/warm/hospitable. This place was average in every way. We came from Wengen and the Caprice Hotel there. I loved... more

A beautiful hotel in a lovely and friendly village. From check-in to check-out, from breakfast to dinner - nothing was too much trouble, the staff were so friendly and the food and wine superb. Every night the owner would come round and ask how our day had been which was a very nice touch. All in all - would thoroughly... more

We have just returned from a wonderful Holiday in Muerren, Switzerland. We stayed at the Alpenruh hotel. I was a bit leary when I read some reviews but nothing materialized with us.. The staff was most friendly from the minute we arrived to the last day. The room was clean and we had a terrific view of the mountains. The... more

We stayed at the Alpenruh this year as part of a touring holiday. We were a bit concerned having read some of the less than positive reviews but we can only report that our concerns were not warranted. We received a warm welcome from all the hotel staff which was maintained throughout our stay. Our room was at the top... more

We stayed here last month as part of a month long cycling trip. This was the hotel I was most looking forward to staying in and we'd economised on other hotels to be able to splash out a bit on this hotel. It was gorgeous. We both totally loved it. From the wondefully friendly lady when we arrived, it was... more
