Super.
Excellent hotel. Great staff, nice breakfast. Nice room. A bit of a walk from town but a scenic walk it is. Close to lift up the mountain to a lake and hiking.

This was a lovely hotel in Kandersteg. This is located beside the gondola station and the walking path for the hike to lake. There was a nice restaurant at the hotel that we had a great dinner at and the breakfast was very enjoyable. My family really enjoyed staying here and we would come back again!

Located just right next to the mountain lift to Oeschinen-lake. Wonderful area for hiking. Very friendly staff, good restaurant. Breakfast was very good and rich, however, not so many warm food.Very nice room. It was a bit surprising that the wellness is not included in the room price, but in any case it was at reasonable price and the hot pot is fantastic. The room price was also reasonable, so overall I can only recommend this hotel.

We loved this hotel. The front desk staff were so kind and helpful - they guided us to great hikes and wonderful massages. We are on our honeymoon and they decorated the room special for us as a surprise - rose petals and champagne - so kind and thoughtful! The hotel is at a convenient location across the street from the gondola lift to Oeschinensee, so it can get a little busy during the day - great for people watching. Overall a very quiet and cozy location; we had a great view of the mountain and waterfalls from our balcony. Also, the hotel had the cutest alpine rabbits that reside on the property!
