We stayed for 3 nights in this delightful Swiss town. Hotel Alpenruh was a great place to stay, good location close to the cable car, and unparalleled views. The room was a bit plain, but was comfortable enough. Breakfast each morning was fantastic, but when we ate at the restaurant we found ourselves feeling a little uncomfortable because of the... more

I read the reviews and thought I should not go. As I was taking the whole family and the grandchildren were looking forword to their first trip to Switzerland we went. Thank goodness. The rooms were clean with great views. The food was very good and the staff very helpful with faddy kids! The manager was very helpful and his... more

My girlfriend and I traveled to Murren off-season with no reservations. We arrived after the sun set to a deserted village without a person in site. Hotel Alpenruh had the best thing going on that night; it seemed to be the only hotel open in Murren! We had a room with a balcony and an unbelievable view of the Alps--we... more

With all the talk about how wonderful the rooms are, all with great views, we were accommodated in a basement corner with a view of nothing. Food is pretentious and mediocre. Dining room service is lacking and staff do not have knowledge food being served. The head waitress was surly and mean. When we booked the room I asked several... more

We stayed at the Alpenruh for just 1 night in June. If I stay in Murren again, I would most likely try a different hotel. The room was very small,limited tv channels, tiny barthroom, and a bit tired looking throughout the hotel.We had dinner at the hotel,the food was ok, but as another traveller mentioned, flys were abundant ! We... more

Murren was the family's favorite stop on our recent trip through W Europe. It is worth at least two days and nights. Hotel Alpenruh has small, but clean rooms with comfortable beds and spectacular views. These were the smallest but also least expensive rooms of the 9 hotels we stayed in over 2+ weeks as we toured. Don't expect to... more

We had been in touch with the hotel for months before arrival, asking for specific rooms with a view across the valley towards the Wengen side. Upon arrival, what we had been assured of was exactly not what we received. We had to ask for location changes for both rooms as only one had a basement view and the other... more

I had stayed here nearly 20 years ago when the hotel was outstanding for personal service, excellent food and a few special touches -- fresh fruit, gravad lachs, and a fresh juicer at breakfast. This time there was virtually no service at breakfast, by 8:30 on a Sunday the tables were used and uncleared, there were no more rolls, croissants... more

We spent 3 nights here in late May 2007. It was just about the only place open but that's not always a bad thing. We got a very acceptable rate by booking directly with the hotel via the internet. The staff was very friendly and helpful, NO language barrier for the non-German speaking traveler, as was the case in most... more
