What guests think
At Historic Hotel Falken, travelers consistently praise the breathtaking mountain views, friendly staff, and vintage charm, while noting the uphill walk from Wengen station and that some rooms feel dated with occasional noise and comfort quirks in this historic property.
Most guests find rooms and common areas very clean, though a few report housekeeping lapses or maintenance issues. Breakfast is widely enjoyed for taste and coffee, but several mention limited variety or items not replenished, and the restaurant may be closed in low season. Expect a charming, old world stay with standout views in a quiet, car free village.

Facilities
Historic common areas with occasional live music and an on-site restaurant, though it can be closed in low season. A luggage pickup shuttle helps with the steep hill, sometimes for a fee.

The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated with excellent views from the balcony! However, since it is so old, you could hear everyone’s footsteps above you (as im sure people below us heard ours). It is much like a bed & breakfast.The staff was friendly & the breakfast buffet was very good! It is a little bit of a walk uphill to get to it if your health needs to consider that. They will give you a ride for 15 francs if needed.

Great views from the room and helpful staff, only issue is the steep uphill walk, if you have a lot of luggage ask for the pickup from the station, while the do charge for it you will be thankful you did that!

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.

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.

Gorgeous views from this property! Hard to say anything negative. It is a charming old hotel. The breakfast was great. They also have a little “shuttle” to help with luggage. The hotel sits on a steep hill - so highly recommend that. The town itself is sleepy - not too much going on, but we loved that! It’s easy to jump on the train and go somewhere nearby. I would say they could upgrade the duvets and the beds a bit. That’s the reason for 4 stars, not 5. I got an extra duvet and all the feathers were in one half of it! Even when they made the bed, they left it that way - haha.

My family and I really enjoyed the family suite for 3 nights. It was quiet and private, and spacious enough for us 5. The beds were very comfortable. We had a mountain view, which was just fantastic. We enjoyed the music at night, and could listen to it via our balcony. It was very pleasant and never bothered us. It ended before we retired each night. We enjoyed the daily breakfasts and 2 dinners at the hotel. The staff was so pleasant. The food and wine was very good. It exceeded our expectations. We got to know them, and they worked very hard to please us. Same with the office team. I would stay here again. The hotel has an "old world" ambience about it, which we enjoyed. It was a very relaxing stay. PS: it was extremely easy to reach on foot from the train station. We did not have the van shuttle us.

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.

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.

Wengen is a hidden gem and this property was fabulous! I stayed with my 4 kids on the top level, which was a space with 2 rooms and a loft. We had plenty of sleeping space and magnificent views of the mountains and valley. There are cute shops and fantastic restaurants in Wengen. Hotel Falken offered a nice breakfast, and the staff was welcoming and helpful to us during our stay.

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.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Falken. Our room offered great comfort and a breathtaking view, and we appreciated the consistent housekeeping. The historic charm of the lobby and dining area was very inviting. All the servers and staff were outstandingly friendly and welcoming. We particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning and the excellent coffee.

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.

Location
Convenient for Wengen station and town, but the walk is steep uphill; the area is quiet and car free. Many highlight the spectacular mountain views from the property.

The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated with excellent views from the balcony! However, since it is so old, you could hear everyone’s footsteps above you (as im sure people below us heard ours). It is much like a bed & breakfast.The staff was friendly & the breakfast buffet was very good! It is a little bit of a walk uphill to get to it if your health needs to consider that. They will give you a ride for 15 francs if needed.

Amazing guest services starting from checkin, every day greetings and excellent breakfast options. The hotel staff was so nice that they arranged surprised balloons and cake to celebrate by daughter’s birthday. Eleanora at the front desk was very kind in making us feel at home! We have a magnificent mountain peak view from our room and this hotel is just minutes away from train station, restaurants and stores.

Gorgeous views from this property! Hard to say anything negative. It is a charming old hotel. The breakfast was great. They also have a little “shuttle” to help with luggage. The hotel sits on a steep hill - so highly recommend that. The town itself is sleepy - not too much going on, but we loved that! It’s easy to jump on the train and go somewhere nearby. I would say they could upgrade the duvets and the beds a bit. That’s the reason for 4 stars, not 5. I got an extra duvet and all the feathers were in one half of it! Even when they made the bed, they left it that way - haha.

This town is a car free zone, so going out of town will cost you a train ride. Since it was rainy and foggy day, we relaxed, just walked around the town .

My family and I really enjoyed the family suite for 3 nights. It was quiet and private, and spacious enough for us 5. The beds were very comfortable. We had a mountain view, which was just fantastic. We enjoyed the music at night, and could listen to it via our balcony. It was very pleasant and never bothered us. It ended before we retired each night. We enjoyed the daily breakfasts and 2 dinners at the hotel. The staff was so pleasant. The food and wine was very good. It exceeded our expectations. We got to know them, and they worked very hard to please us. Same with the office team. I would stay here again. The hotel has an "old world" ambience about it, which we enjoyed. It was a very relaxing stay. PS: it was extremely easy to reach on foot from the train station. We did not have the van shuttle us.

Beautiful location. Make sure you arrive before the last train from Lauterbrunnen leaves before midnight to go up to Wengen. Love the car free town. The view from our hotel was amazing.

Breakfast is widely enjoyed for taste and coffee, but several mention limited variety or items not replenished later in service. Dinner can be good when available, though the restaurant may be closed in low season.

If you are fascinated by an historic hotel and spend a lot of time in the public places you might enjoy this hotel. If not, there are better options. The hotel is close to downtown but it is up quite a steep hill. The bathroom is advertised as large but more than half is a huge soaking tub with high sides that makes taking a shower dicey. Breakfast is served from 7 to 10 but if you don’t get there by 8:45, you will not get the full selection which isn’t very big to start with. They make a limited number of croissants and when you ask about having one at 9 AM, they say it would take 20 minutes. Before 8:45 or thereabouts, there are three types of bread. After that only one remains. This pattern continued for the three days we stayed there.

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.

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.

Hotel Falken is a charming hotel perched on top of the town of Wengen. If you like character, classic charm, and warmth, you’ll love your stay. The hotel offers the most beautiful views of the mountains and the breakfast buffet (included in your stay) was delicious with many options. It’s pricier, but worth it.

This was an amazing hotel with a real old world charm. The staff especially Martin were so helpful and could not do enough to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The views from our room were like a painting, lying in bed and looking out at the glaciers is something we will always remember. The breakfast was delicious and included in our room fee. Very good value for money and would recommend anyone to stay here.

The staff was delightful. We loved the old world charm. Our bathroom had a leaky faucet (very minor) and it looks like there may have been a leak coming from the room above at one time ( the paint over the shower is peeling). Other than that the hotel was lovely and we enjoyed it. Travelers should be aware that the walk up to the hotel is VERY steep. While the hotel offers transport for you and your luggage from the train station, you will be walking up the hill any time you go back to the hotel during your stay. The hotel was lovely. Breakfast was wonderful. Also, we had to leave VERY early in the morning and they packed us a breakfast to take with us on our journey, which was very nice.
