We very much enjoyed our two nights stay at Hotel Baren. We liked being located in a cozy neighborhood which is well served by an efficient bus route. The staff was instantly welcoming, and our room was large and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the balcony with a Mountain View. We enjoyed two delicious breakfasts as well as one of the best dinners we had during our visit, served in the dining room. Our waiter, Daniel, was efficient for our group of six and went out of his way to make our dining experience special. The Bear Inn was a highlight of our stay in the area!

No elevator. 10 minutes walk from the wilderwill station. Breakfast was very good. They provide bus pass which departs every 30 minutes so you don't need to walk. Room floor makes sound when you walk or someone walk upstairs floor.
