Hotel Alpina

We arrived late afternoon as stated to find that no-one was on the reception, just room keys with our names on. Our friend had an accident and badly injured her ankle late at night on the way back from a restaurant across the road. I rang the emergency number many times and no-one replied, there was no information anywhere regarding emergency medical care. When I complained the following morning the waitress/manager she denied ever receiving my call even though I showed her my phone log. Not a safe or well managed hotel, would not stay again.

What a fabulous place. We booked a last minute break to meet friends who live in Switzerland. We stumbled on this lovely accommodation. The hotel is a lovely Swiss style property. The welcome was very friendly and all details were explained. We came from England and needed an adapter plug which we were able to borrow with a deposit. The rooms are simple but great the beds are comfy, lovely views from the balconies. We were lucky enough to even get a small bath in our room. There is a recreational room that we used to play some board games that were for everyone to use. There is a mini bar style fridge where you can purchase drinks. There is also a lounge style seating area. Breakfast is fantastic here and absolute highlight. Continental select including croissants, cheeses, meats, cereals, yogurt and fresh baked bread. There are lots of drink choice both warm and cold. Staff are very attentive and polite. I would recommend this accommodation to others without a doubt.

A true gem. The owner and his wife were beautiful people. The accommodations and food was delicious. I enjoyed the chicken curry, fondue and desserts. The view from our room was magnificent. I highly recommend this hotel with its great views, food and owners.

This is a wonderful hotel operated by a Swiss couple. They really put their heart into the operation — prepare food, manage check-ins, etc. It is an older building. But, very clean and nice facility. They also have a few rooms that can accommodate 4 or more people. Room 33 & 34 were really nice. We had a couple meals here and those were good too. The only real suggestion I have is to have a usb or electric converter outlet. Other than that, it’s a good option for staying in this area. Also, the views from the hotel are outstanding. Really beautiful area that has postcard-like views all around. Highly recommended.

Kandersteg, located in the Swiss Alps, is a true winter wonderland. The small village is surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, making it the perfect destination for a winter getaway. Hotel Alpina sits about a 10min walk from the train station. The hotel is clean and the staff are helpful. More options for breakfast would have been nice but overall it was a great stay. We arrived 2 days before ski season so had to venture to grindelwald where everything was also closed so best to check the weTger maps on the day and call. During the winter months, Kandersteg transforms into a winter sports paradise. The area is home to a number of ski resorts, including the family-friendly Oeschinen and the more challenging Sunnbüel. The skiing in Kandersteg is fantastic, with well-groomed slopes and a variety of runs for all ability levels. One of the best things about Kandersteg is its charming village center. The small town is filled with cozy restaurants and cafes, many of which serve traditional Swiss dishes. The local food and drink are a highlight of any visit to Kandersteg, and the friendly locals are always happy to recommend their favorite spots.
