This is a very common practice throughout Europe. It is unusual to find an actual "American" double (whether full, queen, or king) mattress. Larger beds are almost always created by pushing two singles together.

Lucern to Lauterbrunnen Bahnhof takes at least 2 hours 40 minutes by train. Then you have to take the cable car to Grutschalp 10 to 15 minutes then the gauge train two stops to Murren past Winteregg at least 20 minutes. There’s no escalator some steep stairs at Murren. Turn left from the station and follow the road to the left once round the bend you will see a wooden shed on the left which is the ski shed for Hotel Alpina then the hotel almost 10 minutes walk from Murren station. Everything closes in Murren at 18:30 bar the sports centre and swimming pool at 21:00. Edelweiss hotel next to Hotel Alpina has some better eating options. Hotel Alpina is evening meals by request so you have to tell them in advance that you want food. So roughly a 4 hour transfer. To see the mountains Engelberg is much closer to Lucern than Murren. The bigger town of Wengen in the Jungfrau area has better eating options less than 15 minutes by train from Lauterbrunnen. On arrival at Lauterbrunnen remember to buy your cable car & train tickets from the touch screen machine not the car parking machine! Enjoy the scenery, the 007 museum at Piz Gloria. Remember to visit Jungfraujoch Top of Europe by train above Wengen. Murren is for skiers with the Inferno endurance race from Piz Gloria to Lauterbrunnen and mountain climbers much quieter than it’s noisy neighbour Wengen. It sounds like you should’ve picked to stay in Wengen. The owners are friendly at Hotel Alpina it is older decor but the views of the sheer drop mountain is good you are right close to the edge a 5000 foot drop straight down popular with paragliders and parachute people. You need to allow time for the train changes 3 or 4 trains before the cable car and gauge train to Murren. It can be a tiring journey bring plenty of snacks for the trains.

Dear Paulette, Thanks for your question. This rooms offer one of the better possible village views, There are also some mountains on that side and another positive is that you're able to enjoy the afternoon sun on the balcony. The dining room and breakfast area offer spectacular mountain views We look forward to welcome you in our hotel. Best regards Roger, Owner.

Yes, it is actually a small refrigerator, but left unstocked and empty for you to use yourself. Very useful during the Summer months for cold drinks, chocolate, etc. (it was like this when we visited in late July 17). Not particularly powerful, but certainly does its job - there is no motor to make a noise, which is good as the hotel is very peaceful.
