Laundry

Actually located in Wengen.You'll have to bring your own soap or purchase from the hotel desk around the block. Tidepods are 2sFr.Wash 5sFr - 40minsDry 5sFr - 2hrsThere is no coin vending machine, so you'll need to grab cash and exchange for coins at the hotel or elsewhere.There are two vertically stacked washer/dryer sets. Washing works, but 2.5 hrs of dry time leaves clothes as wet as they went in. Hope for warm weather.

One of the 2 washers is currently broken and both dryers are ventless"

This laundromat wasted more time than it was worth.1. There’s only 2 washers and 2 dryers. So if others are using it already, you will have to wait up to 3 hours for them to finish2. The washing machines leave clothes soaking wet and don’t properly drain the water out. This causes them to take forever to dry3. The dryers don’t dry very well and caused our clothes to stink even more than when we put them in the washer in the first place.You’re better off going down to Lauterbrunnen or waiting till you get to your next destination. Not worth the 10 francs plus laundry detergent.

This is a coin laundry facility provided for public use by Hotel Silberhorn. You can find a sign to “Laundry” next to the hair salon.Many other google reviews mentioned the dryers here are “ventless” and therefore aren’t very effective. I saw those reviews so didn’t even try to use the dryers. (Hanging clothes in my hotel room overnight was sufficient to get them all dry.) The washers are perfectly functional. I bought a laundry detergent pod for 1 franc from the reception of Hotel Silberhorn, then paid 5 francs for a 40C washer cycle, which finished in 1h20m or so. A hotel staff instructed me to put the laundry detergent pod in first, before putting my clothes in, saying that this prevents the pod from getting caught in the gap. Be careful and return to the laundry room in time when your laundry is about to finish. This is (1) to be respectful of others waiting and (2) to make sure you can open the door before the electricity cuts off because your $$ runs out.The laundry service is scarce in a touristy place like this, and therefore I had to wait around the laundry room for about an hour for a washer to become available.

As other reviews have mentioned, the dryers are not great. After a great deal of time the clothes were still damp. I changed the last 30 mins to the hottest setting (Denim) and that got the last of it dry. Better than fully wet but considering we except a dryer to actually dry it is disappointing.The washers worked okay.Word of warning: if the older gentleman who looks after the laundry is around when you use the laundry then expect to be treated rudely. If you are even a few minutes late back to remove your clothes from the washer or dryer then you are told off and he buzzes around double checking everything you do. I started the dryer and he told me to come back after 1 hour to check it even though it's set to go for 2 hrs. Extremely poor customer service. Treated as if you are a nuisance rather than a paying customer. I wouldn't use again unless absolutely necassary.

Black sticker covers all options on the washer. They are trying to have you do a full wash rather than quick wash to make more money. Costs 5 Frank's for a single wash or dry. Don't use the dryers, 2 hours to try drying boxers and they aren't dry. Washing machines only hooked up to cold water so don't waste time choosing water temps that increase wash time.
