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.

This is a beautiful resort nestled in the Swiss mountains. Stunning views, amazing dining and one of the best spa’s we have ever visited. Kandersteg is quiet but you dont need to leave the hotel. Every need was catered for and we left truly relaxed. Will definitely return in the future!

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.

There is no AC and there are no fans available. Leaving windows open helps with heat in room
But then you aren’t able to block sunlight. Beautiful location and hotel. Lacks AC.

Far exceeded expectations
The pictures do not do the place justice. Top level. Pool is warm, customer service goes above and beyond as the norm. Got in a bit of trouble for playing piano at 11pm but don't blame them as I'm no concert pianist. Wish I'd have booked the place for a week. Thanks for having me.
