With 41 rooms in a cottage-like building, the lower-middle-range Alpenrose Hotel and Gardens matches the quaintness of Wilderswil with its eclectic, vintage decor and picture book gardens. Rooms are rather small, with thin walls and limited amenities -- and some bathrooms are shared -- but rooms offer electric kettles, free Wi-Fi, and some gorgeous views of the Jungfrau mountains. Parking and a solid continental buffet breakfast are also free, while an on-site gastropub features tasty fondues and entrées. The cozy, but dated, atmosphere and sparse amenities aren’t for everyone. However, the property’s quiet location, just 15 minutes by train to Interlaken, appeals to tour groups and leisure travelers looking to stay somewhere rustic. Within Interlaken, Hotel Weisses Kreuz is slightly more modern.
