Hotel berhampiran Iffigenalp, Lenk

An old fashioned, not specially nice grand hotel from outside but very nicely refurbished and maintained inside. Service is as expected at this level: courteous and efficient. Our room was not extremely large but very comfortable with excellent bedding and a pleasant balcony. The hall and the bar are somewhat impersonal and uninviting and the few flashing lights behind the pianist were certainly unable to help for this. The spa (I'm talking about the sauna area not the swimming pool with kids that we didn't use) looks pretty new and is very well made. However it is quite small and the - very pleasant - relaxation area, takes a good part of it. This leaves not much surface for the rest and on top of that the hotel unfortunately chose to split it in two zones (thus removing precious square meters for a very small and unnecessary textile area). The result is that saunas are mostly extremely small. A real pity given the potential of the place. The spa is conveniently accessible the day of departure which is very good. But why opening half of it 3 hours after the other?? This is disappointing and incomprehensible! Excellent breakfast, free outside parking. Wifi a bit weak in some areas but otherwise ok. And a of course, as we are in Switzerland, a few pettiness that are always surprising when you spend several hundreds franc a night in a 5* resort... like the inside parking more expensive in winter (!) or the second egg in the eggs Benedict for 4.50 extra (!!)... come on...

Das „The Cambrian“ ist ein sehr gut geführtes Haus mit Wellness-Einrichtung in Adelboden. Die Rezeption ist sehr höflich. Man bekommt, und das ist nur noch selten der Fall, sein Hotelzimmer gezeigt und erläutert. Das war sehr angenehm. Das Hotelzimmer (Junior Suite ist Panorama-View) war sehr schön eingerichtet. Bequemes Bett, Sofa mit Wohnzimmertisch, großer Flachbildfernseher, Telefon und grosses Badezimmer mit Dusche, sorgten für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt. Der Zimmerservice war ebenfalls ausserordentlich freundlich und Rücksichtsvoll. Der Wellnessbereich besteht aus einem Innenpool mit kaltem Wasser und einem Aussenpool mit warmen Wasser. Weiterhin besteht die Möglichkeit zum Sauna Gang in einer Trockensauna bei 85 Grad Celsius sowie einem Dampfbad. Wellness-Angebote wie beispielsweise Massagen sind buchbar und man sollte diese bereits bei Hotelbuchung buchen, da sehr gefragt. Die Damen und Herren im Wellnessbereich erstehen ihr Handwerk und sind ebenfalls sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Kommen wir zum Restaurant und zum Frühstück. Bei Frühstück gibt es wohl alles was man sich wünscht. In einem schönen Ambiente mit Panoramasicht kann man hier sein Frühstück genießen. Aber auch beim Abendessen gibt es nichts zu meckern. Ausgezeichnete Küche und ausgezeichneter Service erwartet hier den Gast. Selbst wenn man vom Menü etwas austauschen möchte, ist dies sofort möglich. Auch hier darf ich die Freundlichkeit und Serviceorientiertheit des Personals hervorheben. Das Personal spricht Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch und Kroatisch. So zumindest habe ich es mitbekommen; aber nicht jeder spricht Deutsch, was allerdings nicht wirklich ein Problem darstellt, da die Anzahl der Servicekräfte herausragend ist. Für PKW´s gibt es kostenpflichtige Parkplätze vor dem Hotel und in der Tiefgarage. 18 CHF pro Nacht zahlt man hier für die Unterbringung des Fahrzeugs. Auch Hunde sind willkommen, 35 CHF pro Nacht ist für die Unterbringung des Wau Wau zu zahlen. Dies dürfte in der Tat etwas billiger sein, denn Futter etc ist mitzubringen. Wir hatten ein wunderschönes verlängertes Wochenende und freuen uns bereits jetzt auf unseren nächsten Besuch.

My husband and I recently spent 2 nights at Hotel Waldhaus during a two week hiking trip around Switzerland and we loved our experience! First, the property is lovely, well-styled, and well maintained. We were in a balcony room with an amazing view of the mountains. Our room was ready early (which was great after our hike from Grindelwald), it was nicely appointed, and very clean. We were on the 2nd floor which had a huge shared balcony with absolutely stunning views. Second, every single staff member we encountered was incredibly nice, kind, welcoming, and genuinely interested in making our stay special. I wish I had written down all their names so I could mention them individually (for some reason I thought I’d remember even though we stayed at 8 different places on this trip). You can tell this is a good work environment because of the staff’s outstandingly pleasant attitude. One person we interacted regularly with was Lorenzo, who took extraordinarily good care of us. Third, the FOOD! Both nights we took the fixed dinner menu and both nights were fantastic. I would consider the meals “special occasion” meals, that’s how good it the food was. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, great wine selection. During the meal Lorenzo and Joshua (a member of the family that owns/runs the restaurant) stopped by to chat with us about our day, our stay, answer any questions, and make sure everything was as expected with our experience. And it wasn’t “forced” attention - - it was comfortable and natural, and they both were genuinely interested in talking with us and ensuring that our entire experience was outstanding! I’m smiling just writing this review because it’s bringing back good memories! Thank you Waldhaus team for a wonderful stay!

A very special family-owned hotel with super-friendly staff. Where else do you find three different saunas plus a steam room, a gym, a swimming pool and all sorts of facilities for small children? But even with all that together with skiing (a few minutes walk from the lift), don't expect to lose weight. Breakfast is easily enough to take you beyond tea-time (free cakes) and then comes a multi-course dinner of delicacies delivered by Markus. Oh well, there's always next week to start dieting. My grandchildren are the 4th generation of the family to come to Saaanenmoser - my father started us off over 60 years ago - which says enough about this great place.

I had never heard of Kandersteg before and nor had anyone else that I spoke to about Switzerland but when I found this hotel on the Inghams website I decided to take a chance. I’m so glad I did! It is surrounded by mountains and just outside the small town and is both lovely, inside and out. We had two rooms, one ambience room for the children and we were upgraded to a suite, both rooms were spacious and very clean and had stunning views of the mountains. The inside pool was a big hit as was the snooker room and back from days out for tea and cake at 4pm a really nice little extra. Food was always going to be tricky as I’m the first to admit that I’m a bit fussy but the waiters were professional and friendly and always helpful with menu choices and swapping things around for us! Reception staff were very pleasant and picked us up and dropped us back to the train station when we arrived and departed. The only thing if I was being super picky would be the daily news, all written in German about the weather, things going on and menus for the evening. English guests seem to be the minority in the hotel which I am more than happy with but for when English guests are staying there, a copy in English would be really nice as we missed some of the important news for one of the evenings about a music night and then the waiters were surprised when we knew nothing about it! All in all a stunning location and perfect for day trips using the local buses, trains and cable cars

What a wonderful end to my trip! I saved this till the end of my trip to end with a little bit of luxury. Absolutely brilliant from when I arrived - all the staff were so friendly (which was refreshing as my previous place weren’t too friendly) They gave me a different room to the one I had booked (a better one!) which was a brilliant surprise! The room felt luxurious and homely with a view of the gorgeous lake :) The spa facilities are brilliant (and were super quiet due to assuming it being ‘off season’ - there was only one other person I saw in there but on a different room) so I had the hot tub to myself. The cosy lounge is just that, it looks so cosy and beautiful For breakfast there was a large selection of things to choose from and was super quick service. I very much recommend this place - wish I could have stayed a little longer - thank you so much!
