What Our Past Guests Say
‘’ What a GREAT experience we had in Lauterbrunnen at the Hotel Oberland. From the moment we walked in the staff was just amazing. Younger staff but polished, professional, knowledgeable, kind and genuine with their caring for the guests. I cannot remember all their names but here are a few I did remember: Amanda, Jenny, Gosha, Mirka, Maja, Oscar and Noa. Sorry to those I missed. Location was perfect and the views were breathtaking from our balcony!! Food was great also. The hotel was comfortable and quiet. We always looked forward to coming back at the end of the day. If we ever go back we will definitely stay here again!’’
