We stayed at the Waldhotel for two nights where we enjoyed hiking and the amazing scenic views of the Alps. Hotel had breathtaking views of the Alps. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was large and updated. We did have a challenge figuring out all of the electronics to get the lights on and shades closed.

Junior suite was a dark room in the back of the hotel with limited view of the mountains. Was changed next day. Restaurant placed us in an adjacent room despite we asked to sit in the main - again with out the Mountain View. Rude service claims they don’t have time because they need to prepare for lunch.

Bel endroit mais…

Bel hôtel et spa fantastique. Très bon accueil également. Seul regret, la chambre n’avait pas de volet et un velux laissait passer trop de lumière. De plus, l’isolation phonique des chambres était déplorable, permettant d’entendre vraiment tout ce qui se passait dans celle des voisins. Dommage pour un établissement de ce standing

Eine kleine Oase am Ortsrand von Kandersteg.aussergewöhnlicher Spa -Bereich.freundliches,aufmerksames Personal, geschmackvoll und landestypisch gekleidet,Spitzen - Gastronomie und excellente Weinkarte. Diskretes Management , Familiengeführt.Einziger Wehmutstropfen: Zimmer war sehr klein und dunkel und leider nach hinten mit Blick auf Felswand und in die Jahre gekommene Holzterrasse vom Zimmer im unteren Stock. Insgesamt aber fünf-Sterne Bewertung!

Kandersteg au Walhotel Doldenhorn : un rêve

Cet hôtel est tout simplement fabuleux. Il est situé en dehors du centre de Kandersteg, dans un écrin de verdure. Les chambres sont jolies et confortables, le petit-déjeuner est copieux avec beaucoup de produits frais. Nous avons mangé le 1er soir et le repas fut divin. Le SPA est également très beau avec piscine et plusieurs saunas ainsi qu'un haman et un jacuzzi. Quelques jours avec ma fille qui nous ont reposés. Nous reviendront c'est sûr :)

Good break if family

Solo traveller - I did I feel I was ushered through / less prioritised as a solid traveller seaport having payed a lot. Breakfast I was placed on busy isle / less nice spaces so actually had to request last day to move as it wasn’t okay. Bar staff friendly. Clean and good spa areas.
