Hotel Berghof Amaranth

Hotel Berghof Amaranth

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful Location & Lovely Family Stay We had a lovely family stay at Hotel Berghof Amaranth. The location is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by stunning Swiss mountain scenery and it was a great base for exploring Interlaken and the surrounding areas. The hotel was peaceful and relaxing, our room was clean and comfortable, and the views were absolutely amazing. The staff were super helpful, friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed the breakfast, which had a good selection. The only downside was that the air conditioning wasn’t working during our stay, which made the room quite uncomfortable, particularly in the warmer weather. It would have made our stay much better if this had been working properly. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and made some wonderful family memories here. A beautiful, peaceful place to stay while exploring the Interlaken region. 🇨🇭 Thank uou again to the amazing staff for a wonderful experience."

8/10 Good
"Great location, very close to the Mount First (walking distance). Also close to Jungfraujoch about 10 mnts drive. Best part was the staff and the shuttle service - very accommodating! Few times they came last night at midnight and early to pick us up, it was very helpful and saved us time and money. Also the inclusive breakfast was delicious. Excellent staff - always ready to help however late. Few tips if you plan to stay at this hotel: 1) they don’t have a/c but just fan so it can get hot at night, you can open the patio door at night if the temperature out is cooler 2) you can borrow converters for EUD 100 per night with no charge if returned 3) wake up calls don’t always work so don’t depend on it 4) they will send WhatsApp to reach out but are not responsive, so call if you need ride or something 5) walking back to hotel can be painful due to ramp 6) if you are taking train to Glendalewald, you need to switch the train at a junction if coming in - check before you ride"

"We had a charming fairytale stay in the hotel which was grand and lavish. The hotel was ideally located with stunning views of the mountains and glacier, set in beautiful gardens, we enjoyed eating in the restaurant for exceptional food and views out into the wilderness. The concierge was very helpful with suggesting hikes and seeing yodellers on the mountain. The head waiter was outstanding and an asset to the hotel. The hotel has no car access so must be accessed by the local hillside train, which added to holiday bliss staying in a beautiful town lost in time and culture."
