Berghaus Männlichen

Berghaus Männlichen is the only accommodation located directly on the Männlichen mountain peak, making it a truly unique place to stay. There are two ways to reach the property: by cable car from Grindelwald Terminal or from Wengen. The journey from Wengen was an experience in itself! We stayed in a Twin Room, which was surprisingly spacious compared with some of the more expensive accommodations we had stayed at during our trip. Since this is the only hotel and restaurant on the mountain peak, and the property is accessible only by cable car, it is important to check the cable car schedules carefully when planning your stay. Once the day visitors have left, the experience becomes completely different. You are surrounded by mountains such as the Eiger and Jungfrau, with only a few other guests around. The atmosphere becomes incredibly peaceful and quiet. The sunset and sunrise were absolutely spectacular and easily the highlight of our stay — 1000/10 for both! You can also easily do the Royal Walk, which is around a 20-minute hike and definitely worth doing. One thing to note is that the property uses Type J (Swiss) power sockets, so bring an appropriate adapter if needed. Breakfast is available if you book it with your stay, and we found it to be really good. Overall, staying at Berghaus Männlichen was an unforgettable mountain experience, especially once the crowds had gone and we had the peak almost to ourselves.

If type C power sockets available just as other stays it would be better.

Spectacular view, great food and nice staff!

No

Cannot beat the location!!

I assumed the 2 twin rooms shared a bath between the two, not the whole hallway so that was a bit disappointing but still an excellent stay.

The staff were all wonderful and friendly. You get to experience the mountain after everyone has left and it really is silent up there at night. Very clean. Handy place to stay if perhaps you want a very early morning hike starting from Mannlichen or ending there late.

Extremely basic inside, was giving me youth hostel vibes. Quite shocked for the price that it was so basic. Needs TLC for some stains on walls and cracks. Views can be achieved by just visiting the mountain during opening times and we didn’t get a great view out of the window (unless you love looking at the cable car station and play park) to be honest so we would rather have not stayed for the views only. Both transport options - unless hiking up to the top - are expensive and that adds to your costs. Remember too, you are limited on time as you must be up before the last cable car. We also regretted how this then dictated what we could do that day after we started our trip. Breakfast the most basic of what we experienced on our trip. For the price, aside from the kind staff, we would absolutely not pay to stay here again.
