Beautiful setting Traditional chalet style and felt authentic Lovely staff Great location Exceptional dinner and nice breakfast Was truly magical

Location

Breakfast very basic

Friendly staff, amazing view from the window, good breakfast

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.

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.

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

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.

Beautiful & tranquil, lovely views, great restaurant.

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.

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.

Staff were brilliant and couldn't be more helpful. Traditional looking Swiss building. Bar to buy drinks from. Views were stunning. 10 out of 10.

Nothing, can't recommend enough.

Beautiful location and lovely building. The rooms were very clean and aesthetic. The views during dinner were incredible! Shared bathrooms but very clean and accessible. Very much recommend this place !

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!

Nothing.

Lovely heritage building, full of character, dinner was delicious. Staff were all lovely.

Be aware, as it is a very old building, the house creaks - just adds to the vibe!

This hotel is peaceful and private in the quiet Kiental region. We had a very comfortable sleep and the place is kept very clean. The shared toilet and communal showers are very nice, private and surprisingly modern despite being shared. Breakfast provided is adequate, and had nice touches of freshly baked bread and honey straight from the honeycomb. Dinner was good, though note that it is fairly expensive and there are very limited options if you do not dine at the restaurant.

The main con is no charging ports in the rooms - you have to go into the hall and plug in near the shared sink. As other reviews have mentioned, as it is an old and traditional building, it is very creaky and you can hear other guests easily.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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!
