Hotel Hirschen — Restaurant in Langnau im Emmental

Together with my wife, we stayed for 4 nights in Hotel Hirschen. This is a 3 stars hotel situated in a historic and beautiful building, in the centre of Langnau. The hotel, inside and outside, looks good and we felt immediately at "home".||Personal is very gentle and professional. We both spoke German so I do not know how about other languages they can speak. ||Breakfast is okay but nothing special. You have cheese, ham, juice, coffee, thee,... No eggs unless you ask for it. Bread is typical swiss (Zopf) which tastes good.||Diner in the restaurant is just great ! Also here it is not cheap but I do not know a lot of restaurant who can offer this high quality of food.||Our room was not too big but with good bed. Shower is a bit small and outdated. I think from the early 80's.||A minus point is that there are no heavy curtains on the windows. This means you cannot darken the room completely. When daylight gets back, the room is not dark anymore so, at least in my case, I woke up quite early every morning. :-(||Parking place is for free and next to the hotel. We had also our bicycles with us which we could "park" inside in a box which was closed by key during the night.||After all it was a nice and comfortable stay in Hotel Hirschen, therefor I give it 4 stars. Nevertheless, I think it is a bit too expensive for...

When I stayed at this hotel first time, it was 1981. It is 36 years ago.

At that time, Mr. Walter and Mrs. Marla Birkhauser were the owner of the hotel. It was the old beautiful building of Emmental.

Mr. Birkauser was one of the best Swiss cuisine chefs in the world. He had served his cuisine to President John F. Kennedy.

Since Water and Marla’s were so friendly and generous, I stayed there every year since 1981 to 1993. Sometimes, I stayed for one month at the studio apartment.

I stayed with my husband and also with his mother too. In 1993, I took 7 senior Japanese people from Los Angeles, and stayed at this hotel. Everybody loved staying at this hotel.

Now Mr. Urs and Mrs. Hedy Weyermann are owner of the hotel. They are very friendly and helpful. The food is very good, too.

All staff can speak English and friendly.

I stayed for 2 weeks in 2016, and 10 days in 2017. I love Langnau very much and this hotel is my second...
