We enjoyed the views in this small town. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The only issue was the limited hours of operation of the public bus. The last bus from Interlaken departed at 7pm. We ended up paying $60 for taxi to return from Interlaken at one night.

Amazing stay, amazing hosts
Our stay was wonderful at Gasthof Baren. We ate of the the best meals we had on our entire 2 week trip with the most hospitable treatment by our hosts. I would recommend anyone stay at this location, my only wish is that we stayed longer. Habkern is very sweet and I would recommend anyone stay in Habkern and take the bus into interlaken for day trips. The bus was very easy and convenient from the hotel.

The staff was amazing!! When we had to leave early to go to Jungfraujoch and had to miss breakfast, they packed a very generous breakfast with sandwiches, juice and fruit for us to have on our way. They even accommodated my gluten allergy. Tremendous people!

Quaint hotel, some rooms likely better than others
I think a positive stay at this hotel depends a lot on your room assignment and the other guests being respectful of the posted hours. Our room was directly next to the shared terrace, and we slept horribly. It was hot in the room with no fans, but guests were outside our window and in the apartment a story up until very late, and then others were outside early in the morning. We did open the windows for a few hours and that was more pleasant. Overall, it was a pleasant hotel but very sparse and small. My daughter opted to sleep on the floor over the bed as she was too tall. The owners were very kind and the village of Habkern is lovely. We were surprised at our experience given all the other rave reviews, so we figured it was just the room we got that was not great.

Gasthof Barren provided us with a lovely getaway in a beautiful small village. The hosts could not have been nice and we loved being in the fresh mountain air. The breakfast and the restaurant provided us with delicious meals.

You need to stay at this hotel. It was our favourite hotel in Switzerland. 10 minutes up the mountain from interlaken. It is so peaceful and serene. The staff make you feel like family. The breakfast was amazing and the views. Just wow. The restaurant was fantastic and there is also an amazing bakery across the street. I could go on and on about this place. It’s magical. Stay here!!!

We lived there for three nights. My wife is very picky, but after the first night, she started liking this hotel. The lady and gentleman at the front desk are very helpful and nice. We will keep this memory forever,

We loved so much our stay here. From our arrival, we were received with a big smile by the host and owner of the hotel. She was so kind and helpful and explain everything with details. Breakfast was delicious and again the staff very kind. Surroundings were amazing. If we are back in the Interlake area we will be staying here for sure!

Charming chalet
Would absolutely stay here again! The Chalet was so charming and the rooms very spacious and comfortable. Since this is a short bus ride from Interlaken, the surroundings are beautiful. We ate at the restaurant which was some of the best food we had. The entire staff was great too. Highly recommend.

This is not in Interlaken. This is about 4 miles outside of Interlaken. To get there you get off the train at Interlaken West and then catch bus 106 to Habkern Post. The bus times can be found on the SBB app. Last bus runs about 7pm, don’t miss it or the taxi will run you about $47 Swiss Francs. This is an old Chalet being run by a sweet young couple. It needs renovation but they are wonderful and it is very clean. I did not enjoy the shared bath but shame on me for not paying attention to what I was booking. But even being a shared bath, it was very clean. They have a restaurant on the lower level and the food was great! We arrived late and they still offered to feed us. Breakfast in the morning was very adequate and they make the coffee for you which was a nice treat. The location is quaint!! There is a bakery across the street and the pastries are delicious! Such a beautiful little town. Highly recommend the view. And if you are lucky, at 8pm the church bells ring across the hill. So beautiful!

I can't say enough great things about Gasthof Bären! Staff/service was super friendly and knowledgeable (and entertained my americanized stuttery-German) from check-in to check-out. The property is absolutely beautiful, clean, and I adored their patio. Breakfast was included and we stayed for dinner/drinks as well--all of which were delicious. I appreciate that the hotel was tucked away from the noise and hustle of Interlaken, but still just a short bus ride away. I will definitely book here again if I have the pleasure of returning to Switzerland!
