BASE Cafe, Fuhren 460B, 3822 Lauterbrunnen

Our morning in Lauterbrunnen always starts hier. Very good Cappuccino❤️. I can enjoy it only hier. Best one. I recommend raclette, goulash ❤️, hamburger. - not so many big tables for meal with friends or family. We had luck, but sometimes it is full. The staff there is very nice and friendly. The chef is great. Fast service.

Great stop for fondue. Easy order with the giant tablet, then you just grab a table number and everything is brought to your table. The fondue was well seasoned and delicious.

Stayed in two different rooms in my stay here as each room wasn’t available for two consecutive nights. This was not an issue though as it was an Easy check in, staff were very nice in the cafe when I was too early to check into the room, let me use the facilities to hold my luggage and use the bathroom and upon checkout of first night, was safely able to leave luggage in property hallway. Good sized single rooms with a desk and comfortable beds. First room had two plug sockets and the other only one. first room didn’t have a mirror but the second did, this would’ve been nice in all rooms to make getting ready in the morning easier with the shared bathroom situation. I had the Mountain View room the first night which was lovely to see . Was able to have my window open all day in both rooms without flies coming in which has been a massive problem in my travels elsewhere, so that was very positive. Location is great and very accessible to everything in main town, train station, supermarket and just along the road from staubbachfall. Both nights I was able to check in slightly early, but also allowed me a seat inside the cafe around the back until the room was ready to get out of the midday sun! So that was very appreciated. A complaint more so about the other guests rather than the integrity of the place. The walls are extremely thin, could hear next door neighbours up all night talking in their rooms. Also as much as the social areas are nice - it promotes anti social behaviour up all night being very loud. The top floor had the flooring ripped up but unsure if it was just in the process of replacement, this meant anyone walking to toilet/walking in hallway sounded like stomping alongside the heavy doors which were slammed constantly and the old lock mechanisms all being very loud - all on above heard through noise cancelling ear plugs. Free WiFi is very slow but area has good mobile signal if you have a roaming sim. The top floor bathroom was very disappointing and in much need of refurbishment and a good clean, the other floors was a lot nicer but anytime another guest used the shower the entire room flooded. Toilet paper also ran out very quickly with no way of refilling after 6pm when cafe shut. Would be nice if it was all consistent. The shared bathroom situation also wasn’t great as all shared bathrooms accessible regardless of what floor you stay on, this meant if a whole group came in showering at same time then there was no accessible toilet for ages. A separate shower room and toilet room situation might’ve been more ideal for this property. I didn’t use the shared kitchen but that’s a great option to have with the local restaurant prices and with the supermarket less than 5 minutes away walk. All in all the service and staff were perfect, location is great, the room alone was clean and great standard, just everything else was a bit of a let down.
