This character hotel did not disappoint.

Nice historical place, calm and cozy. Amazing!
4.4
It was an interesting historic hotel with great views. The lift is one of the highlights to my husband. We both like the dinner served by its restaurant. If they can enhance the variety of breakfast, it would be great. I have to say their bread is excellent.

Amazing cute hotel with breathtaking views!

Overall pretty good

Nice, but slightly snooty service. Good, but overpriced—like much in Switzerland.
4.4
The hotel location is amazing! The views from the window are breathtaking. However, the trek/hike to the hotel is a workout! Be aware if you have too much luggage, the hotel does offer pickup service from the train station. Also, I didn’t like the bathroom tap running on separate faucets. It was too hot or too cold and hard to get the right temperature to wash face early in the morning. The tub is also very high to step into, could be a major issue for the elderly as there is great risk of slipping.

Simply Amazing!

Historical place nice and aged

The hotel has a lot of potential and is in desperate need for renovations. All wooden flooring is extremely squeaky in rooms (we had two) and throughout common areas. I think that update alone would enhance the property and guest experience exponentially. Steep hill to walk up, especially with luggage and stroller, so be prepared! I didn't mind and enjoyed the challenge, but other family members did. The breakfast was decent, rooms has amazing views, and were very clean and quiet. Mattress was not comfortable. Overall, overpriced for what you get. I appreciated the classic decor throughout, and music in the lobby.

Lovely property and they had a cute dog

Property is old but can’t beat the location. Amazing views.

We loved the period charm, the quiet and convenient location, the friendly staff. We had two dinners there, both very good. We were treated to traditional alpine music two evening.
4.4
Beautiful, historic hotel with amazing views. Our room and bath were large and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice and we ate dinner there, too, and the cheeseburger was amazing. It is an uphill walk to the hotel but so worth it.

we loved our stay at Hotel Falken
4.4
We absolutely loved our stay here. As Americans visiting Switzerland for the first time, this property was super unique to us. We had incredible service and felt so welcomed. Just note that there is no TV in the room (who needs it with views like that) and the walk up to the hotel is pretty steep. If we ever come back to this area we will for sure stay here again.

Wonderful stay

I have been on the road now for 10 days. This is the finest hotel I have stayed at. Front desk gentleman meet our every need. Food was top notch and very tasty. Mountain View’s are awesome. I would stay here again and again!
4.4
Quaint and charming hotel. Restaurant was closed which would have been nice after a day of hiking.
4.4
Small room with very basic conveniences
4.4
The property needs renovating. From the outside it looks nice, but the rooms are beat. Our son and shower did not drain. The matters was sinking to the floor and part of the floor of the room felt like it was about to fall in. I would give this hotel next. 1 star if one at all.
4.4
This property is exquisite! Lovely on the third floor room overlooking the mountains. Bed super comfortable. The breakfast could not have been better. Easy walk to town and train station. Superb!

Beautifully authentic Swiss alpine family-run hotel. Stay here, it's lovely

Great grand old hotel right in the heart of wengen.
4.4
Amazing experience. You have a mountain view from the balcony. Rooms are spacious with awesome services. Hotel staff is also very helpful and customer oriented. My kids enjoyed the stay. Walking distance from Wengen train station which is also a plus. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
4.4
Very nice hotel, a few minutes away from the train station, uphill. Breakfast buffet was great.
4.4
Such a great hotel. It’s a bit of a climb from the train station, but great location and very walkable.

Old school charm transported us back a century. We plan to return some day.
4.4
Charming and cozy, perfect for the Swiss Alps atmosphere.
4.4
This hotel was so uncomfortable to stay at. There were cobwebs in the room. It was poorly cleaned. The worst part: There was no AC (which is common for the town) but at least have fans to provide for your guests. It’s hot in July, and the rooms are hot without any AC or fan. My kids were sweating in their sleep. I called reception to ask for flat sheets since the comforters were not even close to being necessary and they told me they were out. Ridiculous. The pillows were so flat, it’s like they were hardly there. The breakfast was just okay. There were no tv’s in the room. Rather they had a “tv room” which was a small tv behind the bar in the common area. You’re hosting people around the world and charging top dollar. Have some decency and keep up with the global hotel standards. Overall I am very unhappy about my stay and wish I stayed somewhere else for the money I paid.
4.4
We absolutely loved this hotel! Old time charm that my children adored. Nice breakfast offerings in a charming dining room.
4.4
We stumbled upon this hotel last min and it’s been the best part of our trip. The staff was so welcoming and the views were breath taking. We can’t wait to go back!
4.4
This property is definitely not like what you see in the pictures. It's a very old outdated room. It was so crammed and for the price we pay, it's ridiculously very basic. The bathroom was so crammed. The staff were OK, not very friendly, except for one porter who was very helpful and nice. The breakfast was average. Not what we expected for such a price.
4.4
This hotel was perfect for our family! I loved the old fashioned charm and the views were to die for. Perfect location and the service was top notch. This is my new favorite place to stay in Wengen!

Both the Hotels.com and The Falken Hotel trumpeted the excellent Hotel restaurant on their websites. This was one of the main reasons that we booked. We were looking forward to this - but arrived only to be told that the Hotel restaurant was closed for Low Season.
We said that we understood this but that it should have been mentioned on their website, as otherwise we would not have booked. The Proprietress had no answer to this, other than to keep repeating the above excuse. of 'low season'.
Both Hotels.com and the Hotel Falken are at fault here. There was no option to book full board on the Hotels.com website so we had to wait until arrival at the hotel before we found out that there was no restaurant. We ate instead at the Italian restaurant at the other end of town (one of only two open) and on 2 nights got soaked walking there (no lift available from the hotel). Other nights we had a picnic in our room. The hotel itself is well past its prime. I understand that their main selling point is that it is traditional and historic - but if was difficult to find any comfortable place to sit on the ancient furniture in the lounge area. Our beds were clean and acceptable but definitely not super comfy or intended for stays of more than a few days.
Finally, do not try to do the 7/8 minute walk with your luggage up to the hotel from the station unless you are young and fit. It is very, very steep and we were glad we had booked a pick up from the hotel.

It is a charming hotel. Very unique. Amazing views. Very clean. Love it.
