This was an absolute find. In a beautiful location a short bus or train ride from Gstaad. The dorm was fine - clean but with the most glorious view. Great buffet breakfast included and the 16CHF dinner is a bargain.. and tasty.

It has an excellent staff.

I got confused because I didn´t know the type of hotel that it was. When I did my reservation I didn´t realize the bathroom was shared, however I asked the Lady at front desk a change and kindly she made happen. Its for sport people, not for family.

Gerne wieder!

Das moderne Gebäude mit viel Holz und Sichtbeton ist sehr ansprechend. Der Empfang war freundlich, die Zimmer zweckmässig eingerichtet und sauber. Das 6-Bettzimmer mit Lavabo war direkt vis-a-vis der Toiletten und Duschen situiert. Das Frühstück war gut und reichhaltig. Es herrscht eine sehr familienfreundliche Atmosphäre. Gerne wieder.
