In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Rooms run Alpine-classic — warm with old pine and floral curtains. The Standards are compact in the way 1900s hotels tend to be, while the Superiors are roomier and come with a balcony. Reviews keep coming back to how personal the place feels, more like staying at a friend's house — guests note that the owners remember names from check-in straight through to check-out.
Food and amenities
Half-board dinners stay close to home with Berner Oberland cooking: Älplermagronen, Rösti, Cordon Bleu and trout from a nearby river. Breakfast is a buffet included in the base rate. The headline feature, though, is Bar 1907 — open 16:00 to 24:00, with a list that runs from Swiss wine and local beer to a family-recipe hot chocolate. On a cold day, a seat by the fireplace is the simple pleasure you only really get here. There is no spa, sauna or pool.
Location and getting there
You are right in the middle of Mürren, about a 5 to 7-minute walk to both the BLM and Schilthorn stations — so whichever cable car you are heading for, neither is far. The building itself dates to the early 20th century and has kept its original architecture; the ground-floor Bar 1907 is the village's gathering spot, all wood-panelled walls and old furniture. Sitting down for a Swiss beer next to the locals is the kind of thing that is hard to find elsewhere.
Things to know before booking
This is a historic building, and that cuts both ways. There is no lift to every floor, so be ready to carry your own bags up. Some rooms run small, in line with the old-hotel standard. And there is no spa, sauna or pool here — if wellness is the point of your trip, look at one of the other Mürren hotels. For the Jungfrau view, ask for a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, South side.
Our take
Blumental is the character pick in Mürren — a 4-generation family hotel built around a bar that has been open over 100 years, at a price that holds up well against its neighbours. You give up the spa and the lift, but you get warmth, history and a genuine village feel. Score 8.6/10.
