Friendliness is paramount in the hotel. We have on the first night, because of the hard mattress, not sleep well. On the next day we asked for a duvet as mattress, the hosts had a suite without an extra charge with a softer mattress offered. If this is not accomodating is! Justified by the hotelier with: we want to satisfy the guests! :-)Since we booked only rooms/breakfast have, we could in the evening à la carte food. What we not regret it. The food is simple an absolute hammer, a culinary delight without question. We are experienced visitors and have … read more

Lovely hotel, we had an economy room and it was spacious, very nicely furnished, large balcony with a good view, really good bathroom, and everything absolutely clean, including the floor. The shower head gave a really nice tropical rain effect, though this was spoiled a bit by it going lukewarm from time to time. Dinner in the restaurant was very nicely presented, imaginative, tasted really good, you might ask for larger portions if you're hungry after a day's hiking. Recommend the mint tea made from herbs gathered in the surroundings. Breakfast was nice. Staff all very friendly, gave … read more

The hosts inside there are very friendly, take time for a chat with the guests, the hotel verstrahlt a cosy energy.Both original, as well as proven food for different price ranges. Positive also, that local origin of the ingredients is respected (for example. A fine liver sausage from the valley or störfisch from frutigen). The decoration of the restaurant is a cheerful mixture - there is something for every taste. Refreshing, that not all nicely styled throughout.Our superior -room is was not much bigger than the economy room beside it, however therefor it has a balcony and a bathtub. The … read more
