“The Alps were breathaking!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We had 4 nights in the mountains and chose the Hotel Oberland at Lauterbrunnen after reading TA reviews. It was the perfect location to explore.
We stayed in early Oct and the weather was perfect for exploring and hiking.
The Hotel Oberland is a pleasant quiet guest house style hotel and Mark, Ursula and the staff were very welcoming. Mark is an Aussie and we loved that English was spoken so there were no communication problems for us. The breakfast is simple and fresh and the restaurant at the hotel served good local food. We also ate at another hotel nearby which was comparable.
We spent our days exploring the mountains and only returned to our room to sleep so the hotel was a perfect base for us to do that.
There are stairs and no lift which wasn't a problem for us and the wifi signal was very weak in our room but better downstairs. Another tip was that we purchased the Berner Oberland Pass (and they had a 2 for one deal in October) and that gave us travel on all the rail and cable cars for our 4 days (with the exception of the top of Jungfau and Skilthorn).

“Friendly, welcoming Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

We stayed a week at the Hotel Oberland over Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners (Ursula (Lauterbrunnen local) and Mark (formerly from Australia) were very friendly and welcoming as was their staff.

The Hotel is centrally located in this small Swiss Alpine village ... about 5 minutes walk from the Railway Station.

Rooms are basic but comfortable. Heating was excellent which is needed in a Swiss winter!

As we were there as part of a holiday package meals were set .... good food though not particularly exciting menu.

Room Tip: Request front of hotel to provide best views ... 3rd floor provides best views ... but be ware there...

“Great hotel in beautiful village”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Hotel Oberland in Lauterbrunnen is a terrific guest house type hotel. The owners (Mark and Ursula) are very gracious and friendly. They also run a restaurant on the ground floor that has marvelous food (try the cheese fondue or any entree that has spatzle)!

There is free breakfast AND free parking!

If you aren't fluent in German, no worries since the owners and staff speak English (Mark is a native Aussie), French and a few other languages.

Room Tip: There isn't an elevator, so if you have trouble with stairs ask for a room on the first floor (o...

“a nice home base”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

We were very happy with our stay at the Hotel Oberland. Lauterbrunnen is a convenient home base when you want to visit the different villages in the area and Hotel Oberland is very close to the train station, making travel a breeze. This hotel provided a good breakfast and has a restaurant featuring some traditional swiss dishes, which we enjoyed. Book a room with a balcony, it is totally worth it for the view. A quiet, well run hotel.

“Almost heaven, with John Denver singing in the background”

Thank you forum members of TA for recommending Hotel O to us. Have never been to Switzerland so decided to simply follow what was recommended on TA which was to head for the mountains. So, here we are with snow in the background as I write this. Again another PERFECT accomodation, more than what I imagined the place to be. Edelweiss apartment is extremely clean, new and the warm welcome from Mark the owner made us feel at home immediately upon arrival in the dark, after 4 changes of train from Paris at 11am. Now to have snow when our family at home in Perth in experiencing 37 degrees C...again I can only give thanks to God and gaze in awe at His creation.Thanks again to all who helped me make this decision.

Room Tip: Edelweiss apartment with two bedrooms and lounge, kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Walking distance from tra...
