Eiger Guesthouse

Beautiful view. Helpful staff. Right near train station

No elevator, had to climb 3 floors of stairs

Everything, the room, the area, the breakfast and most importantly the fantastic hard working staff

Absolutely nothing

Eiger Guesthouse in Murren is a wonderful place to stay. The location, directly across from the train station, is fantastic, and the views are world-class from the rooms facing the mountains. Eiger Guesthouse is a most welcoming place, with a homey feel to it, a nice pub to sit in and meet new friends, and an excellent restaurant - we had 4 wonderful dinners here. The morning breakfast is a good, typical European style breakfast, but the breads they serve are phenomenal. However, the single best attribute of Eiger Guesthouse has to be the incredible staff. Ema, Jose, Philippa, all are front facing members of a staff that seems like they work in tandem as a family....and they go out of their way to make you feel like a member of their extended family while you are there. Many places have a staff that are "hospitality nice", but the staff at Eiger Guesthouse are genuinely nice, and go way beyond "hospitality nice" to make sure you have the best time you can possibly have in Murren. I have traveled to many places, stayed in all types of lodging (from budget hotels to Ritz Carltons), and I can honestly say the staff here is the best we have encountered anywhere, and a big part of what makes Murren feel like such a special place.

With any structure that is over 150 years old, the bathrooms, while very clean, are a bit small. But not unusual for most boutique places in Europe...

The scenery around Murren is absolutely beautiful. The bus, train and gondola it takes to get there are easily accessed and on time. The outing by gondola to Schilthorn is a lot of fun and you feel on top of the world. Murren is a beautiful town to walk around in with good places to eat. The hike down to Gimmelwald is breathtaking. We look forward to going back to Murren in the future. Jose and Emma at Eiger Guesthouse are awesome.

Our stay was too short.
