This was our final stop in Switzerland and our best! The hotel was quaint and charming, the restaurant cheerful with delicious food and tasteful presentation. We could walk to the train station or to the grocery. A wonderful experience.

Great start to the new year!

Thanks to all the team at Hotel Baren. We had a lovely time. The Silvester party was fun. The food was amazing. Breakfast excellent. Loved our room with a view of the mountains. Lashings of hot water. Good sauna. Many thanks again!

We liked this hotel very much. The only issue for us was lugging multiple pieces of heavy luggage up several flights of stairs.
