Hotel Berghof Amaranth

Das ganze Hotel ist renovationsbedürftig. Praktisch kein Service, sehr kleine Zimmer mit schlechte Betten, miniatur Badezimmer, total hellhörig. Dafür ist es viel zu teuer. Ein schlechtes Beispiel für die Schweizer Hotellerie. Schade für den schönen Standort!

This pension hotel is in Wilderswil, about 4km from the center of Interlaken, so is best accessed by car. There is free parking outside. Our room was comfortable and quiet with lovely views of the Swiss countryside with the mountains beyond. There is a good swimming pool. Breakfast was very good with a generous selection of food. We had a good dinner at the Hotel Baren nearby. While expensive for a hotel of this type, the location with surrounding views makes it worthwhile.

We were very dubious about this hotel from previous reviews but we really wanted to stay in this village and experience those views and we were pleasantly surprised by the experience. We requested a room with a balcony and got the corner room (33) on the top floor and had 2 small balconies, 1 overlooking all the way to Interlaken and the lake and the other over the Jungrau's, it was breathtaking. The rooms were clean and the beds really comfortable, our wardrobe was a bit tricky to use as the drawer and door couldn't be opened without the other, and yes as other reviewers noted there is a kettle but no tea/coffee or cups but otherwise it was fairly spacious and tidy. The breakfast was excellent, buffet style and lots of areas to eat inside and outside though it was still a bit cool in the mornings for us to do that but would be lovely in summer. Lots to choose from including some hot offerings of eggs and bacon, could've been more fresh fruit and variety of pastries (only croissants) but that is my only minor criticism. It is a bit of a walk into town but there are several restaurants in the village that were excellent, we ate at Hotel Baren and Luna Piccante and both were great. On our 2nd day after a big hike we came back and the weather was lovely and warm and we were able to take advantage of the pool which was gorgeous to sit there and swim in the clean pool and look after the mountains vista. We had no issues with the staff, all were friendly and exceptionally helpful guiding us for eating and travelling around. If you are ok with an averagely decorated hotel in an amazing, stunning and quite location in an authentic village then this is the place for you.

When we checked in the front desk attendant was very unprofessional and obviously overwhelmed. She even yelled at a customer on the phone. I do not know why since the hotel was empty except for us and one other family checking in. She was pretty rude to them as well. Our friends were with us and they got drinks from the bar. I didn't even ask her for one for myself because I was afraid to bother her. I had booked this hotel because the website says "Table tennis and football table" and because we were with friends, I thought this would be fun....but I was told this is a summer offering only which the website does not say. Our room had an amazing view - it's Switzerland of course. But the couch was so stained with what I do not even want to know, I wouldn't even put my luggage on it much less sit on it. The curtains were sagging, there was holes in the hallway carpet.... there was just a general run down feel of the place.

Definitely one of the worst hotel experiences yet, especially given the cost. Moldy floor, dirty beds, stains everywhere, window with mildew and grime. Broken closet. Nonfunctioning lights. Came in, got sick, left. To top it off, the staff were extremely unreasonable and rude. Would not recommend. Plenty of better places in the region.

Bel emplacement, avec une jolie vue et une petite piscine chauffée très agréable. Le personnel y est accueillant et de bon conseils. Les chambres sont propres et spacieuses (celles dans la dépendance du moins), mais l'isolation phonique très passable (j'entendais un téléphone vibrer et sonner derrière le mur du lit). La décoration est assez quelconque et les équipements très simples. Le petit-déjeuner gagnerait lui à avoir plus de choix et des produits locaux.

Der Empfang, das Personal und die Verabschiedung waren sehr freundlich. Die Lage ist absolut top mit einmaliger Aussicht aus dem Zimmer. Der Pool nach einem Wandertag ist ein grosses Plus. Genügend / viele Parkplätze. Sehr gutes Frühstückbuffet. Internationale Kundschaft aus fernen Ländern. Das Hotel wurde wohl teilweise bereits modernisiert, teilweise noch nicht. Unser Zimmer hatte ein Top-modernes-Badezimmer, aber die Einrichtung (Möbel) im Zimmer waren noch nicht erneuert. Es sah nicht so aus wie die Zimmer auf der Homepage. Insgesamt ein gutes, angenehmes Hotel; wir würden wieder für einen Kurzaufenthalt dorthin gehen. Ein Zimmerpreis von mehr als CHF 300 ist aber natürlich für ein ***-Hotel einfach zu hoch.

Wilderswil is an ideal base for exploring both the Jungfrau region and the wider area, by public transport. It is so much quieter than Interlaken, Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen. This hotel is on the edge of the village, a twenty minute walk (which can be reduced by catching the bus half way up). This does mean that it was quite a slog in the evening after a busy day. The hotel does not offer transport and there is no taxi in the village. We had stipulated a room with a balcony and view. The room was quite spacious but quite basic and a bit tired. Nice bathroom and very comfortable bed. There was a kettle in the bedroom but curiously no tea or coffee so we had to go and buy some. Best of all, the view from the balcony was amazing. Good variety for breakfast but a surprising lack of fresh fruit.

Hervorragend, beste Lage (5 Min mit dem Auto nach Interlaken), freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal, auch unser Hund wurde freundlich empfangen. Das Zimmer war sauber und gemtülich (mit Balkon), zum Frühstück gab es ein leckeres Buffet. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und der Aufenhalt war sehr angenehm, kann es nur weiterempfehlen.
