Hotel Alpina

Where the hotel is located Charming balcony with a breathtaking view of the mountains, enchanting bird sounds and convenient bus stop (free transportation with hotel city card). wonderful breakfast and large room. a nearby site, to mention a couple Lake Oeschinen, tobogan run, train station 8 minutes by foot, bus 3 minutes A tip: Obtain the hotel's city card. b) Request the first floor since there is no elevator. The receptionist was kindly and powerfully capable of carrying one of our bags to our room on floor two (we kept the other one in the reception). Along with providing us with a shared electric converter, he also permitted us to prepare our food close to the reception area( Cooking not allowed in this eco-friendly hotel) , We need to enter the hotel from road thru gravel ( so those are with heavy luggage be prepared to lift by hand for a minute)

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful although brief visit to beautiful Kandersteg we should have longer! The Alpina hotel was a comfortable, clean and friendly family run hotel we’d highly recommend. Great hearty breakfast was included. Easy to find with some great local restaurants within walking distance. Having snow falling was an added bonus.

Winter wonderland 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.
