    It’s an old house and it will creek and eek if someone is walking around. You will hear it in your room. If you are easily disturbed by sounds, maybe prepare yourselves or change plans.

    Very friendly people who are very open to conversation and helpful. Nice single room with a view over the whole valley. Fast and attentive service for any kind of requests. I wanted to take a shower after my hike on my checkout day, they made it possible.

    Wooden room - bugs crawling from everywhere, it wasnt the most comfortable place to stay. Bed is not long enough for tall people. I am 181cm, my husband 193cm and we couldnt fit into the bed.

    Dinner was excellent, big portions, just what we needed after a long hike.

    I love a good drafty meatloaf.

    I read reviews that said the building is too creaky or too drafty. The building is old, dummy. All that authenticity you say you want on your instagram profile will occasionally lead to drafty rooms and creaky floors. My least favorite thing is that this place deserves a perfect five star rating and you fragile influencers forgot your headphones and screwed it up for all of us. 5/5, no complaints except that I couldn’t order All You Can Eat Meatloaf.

    I liked absolutely everything. The staff don’t speak much English, but I don’t speak much German and they are willing to pantomime until everything works out. The views are amazing. The building is amazing. The showers are amazing. The meatloaf was amazing. The idea of meatloaf is amazing. They have beer there.

    Nothing.

    This was by far the best hotel I stayed in on my latest Alpine trek. I was given a very warm welcome (in unseasonably cold September weather!) and had a fantastic evening with good company, eating and drinking local food and beer. My room was lovely with a very rustic feel (everything seemed to be made of wood!), and the following morning’s breakfast featured freshly baked bread and honey straight from the hive tray. The two staff members I met were also helpful and friendly throughout my stay. Oh and the location is sensational!

    Historic building means the acoustic is not great. Every move (own or from others) makes some noise.

    Really historic building, "dans son jus" as we say in French. Great welcome, immediately at ease.

    I didn't mind it but if you're sensitive to noise, bear in mind the floorboards are very creaky as it's such an old hotel. The beds are quite short too and have a footboard in the single rooms so if you're tall it could be a problem.

    What a perfect, traditional hotel! The setting is beautiful, and I loved sitting outside with a drink in the evening. The food was delicious (I recommend messaging them to add on half board if it's not an option through Booking.com). The shared shower rooms worked surprisingly well, and the showers were fantastic for such an old property. I loved the atmosphere of the hotel, would definitely stay again.

    The wifi signal was very weak in our room and many times I didn't have any wifi signal. LTE and mobile data is not available. But it was a good detox!

    Firstly, the atmosphere of this place is amazing! It's nestled in Pochtenalp, surrounded by greenery on all sides. There's nothing better than having your morning coffee while breathing the fresh air and sitting outside. Secondly, the food was fantastic - both dinner & breakfast - you could tell everything was handmade. Finally, the showers are amazing, and the heated floors in the bathroom make it even better!

    We had some confusion about our options for dinner that we were unable to figure out due to a language barrier. We weren't aware that half pension was an option for hotel guests, so we ended up having to order from the menu when we would have enjoyed the set meal. If this option could be better communicated to guests at check in, that would be helpful!

    The beds were super comfortable, and the breakfast was amazing. We especially enjoyed the fresh honeycomb right out of the frame! The shared shower and bathroom facilities were very clean and nice. The staff was very friendly and worked with us to communicate well despite our limited knowledge of Swiss German.

    Bring earplugs - since it’s a historic wood building you hear everything happening in the whole building

    It's not really bad, but be aware that: there is no mobile, connection and supermarket in the area. The WiFi was only available in the common area. Sockets are only in the hall too. Also, the mattress was too solid for me, but that's what you expect from a mountain hotel

    Very good location with a nice view of a waterfall (in June), exceptionally clean, the shared toilets and bathroom could be a standard for any other ones I stayed in. Old historical hotel in a non touristy area. Very good destination if you want to travel unwind in a quiet and picturesque place. Be aware that not all personnel can speak English, but they anyway were very nice and did their best, thank you for that!
