"I was in general very positively impressed by Revier Lodge Adelboden: spotless clean room, big bed, very comfortable bathroom, a big ski room with a lot of space for storing skis and boots, easy parking; but there were also a couple of negative points: 1) there isn't any information, either on the website or in the various confirmations after booking or paying, that the guest will receive a "guest card" that, on top of other offers, gives right to a 2-days skipass for 79 CHF instead of the normal 140/150 CHF. Knowing about the dynamic prices, my friend and I bought the skipass in advance, and ended up paying 60 CHF more each of us. When I received the "guest card" (just few hours before arrival) it was already widely too late to claim the discount at the lifts. I believe information about this should be given at booking time. 2) the breakfast is too late (07:30) and not worth at all the 18 CHF paid for it. With the lifts opening at 8 AM it's extremely difficult to enjoy a breakfast and be able to the be there at opening time; one has to have breakfast in a hurry, or to give up skiing in the early hours, when slopes are empty and perfectly groomed; on top of that the selection at breakfast is extremely cheap: few slices of ham and cheese, inexpensive cereals, some bread, etc. Also something that's quite common, even in lower category hotels, like a cappuccino or espresso, is only available with an additional fee. For sure in a future stay I will not include the breakfast and I'll go to have it at the confiserie or the kiosk just around the corner. 3) not a negative, but at least a confusing situation: the whole hotel concept looks inspired to environmental/energy sustainability, then it's quite surprising to find a 50 square meters ski room heated up to 30 degrees 7x24 when, for melting the ice on the skis, the normal 20 degrees heating would be more than enough, and much more efficient systems exists for drying and warming up ski boots."

"We had booked a room with a balcony, which we did indeed get (room 119), but it faced towards the hill at the back of the hotel so no views whatsoever. We asked could we change to a south-facing room with better views and they did have another room available, same type as the one we had booked, but south-facing. However, this was in their view an upgrade – that was OK with us too, we don't mind paying a little extra for something better – but they wanted an additional 90 Euros for the one night. I know we could just have said no thank you, Switzerland is not cheap, and it was our own choice to upgrade, but we still felt it was a bit over the top. The new room (115) was nice. It was quite large and modern, and the balcony was actually a very big terrace. Quality-wise the room was quite as it should be. We ordered a table in the restaurant and asked for a table at the window. When we got to the restaurant, the waitress gave us a window table – but one minute later the head waiter asked us to move because that table was reserved for somebody else and the waitress had made a mistake, and there were no other available window tables – all were reserved by others. OK, that can happen – but it was a little annoying to have to move. We then asked for the cheese fondue that we had seen on the menu earlier but they did not serve that in the evening allegedly due to the smell. So, with a less than perfect table and the meal we wanted not on the menu we decided to say no thanks and left the restaurant – and found a really nice traditional restaurant in the town that served cheese fondue (which was really good). When we checked out the next day, they said they had a small present for us – small indeed, they gave us a box of matches with the hotel logo on it!! A box of matches! We didn't quite know what to say, we nearly laughed out loud. To us this hoteI was an odd experience. It's hard to put a finger on it exactly. The atmosphere was just a bit odd – not exactly unfriendly, but not really friendly either. The atmosphere was kind of severe – professional perhaps, but no friendly banter among any of the staff, and their smiles just didn't seem quite genuine. If we ever come back to Adelboden we will definitely look for another place to stay."

"Great stay! Amazing location and very kind staff"

"Location: Excellent — centrally located and close to all essential services. Cleanliness: Very good — rooms are well-maintained and regularly cleaned. Family-Friendly: Highly suitable for families, with a quiet environment and comfortable amenities."

"Our stay at the Hotel Alpina was a very pleasant interlude. We were greeted with kindness and received good advice for hiking in the region. The room was simple but spacious and comfortable. The meals were very good and the staff, both at reception and in the dining room, were always smiling and friendly. A great place to stay and we will definitely return."

"Great location. No frills but good."

"Wow! An unexpected gem of a hotel which is decorated to a very high standard indeed. Large room with balcony on the side of the hotel with views of town and mountains. It also had an immaculate bathroom - our only disappointment was that we were not staying for more than one night as we were walking the Via Alpina and moving on. Staff here were very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us. We ate in the restaurant and had the set meal which was fine dining to say the least. They have a first class chef here and we thought the fixed price menu was excellent value. Serving staff were friendly and obliging and enhanced the dining experience. Would most definitely stay here again if we return to Adelboden (we have stayed in other hotels on previous occasions). Breakfast was of excellent quality and variety and my husband even fried his own eggs on the little stove they provide for the purpose! Can't recommend this hotel enough! Thank you to all the staff!"

"Breakfast consisted of poor quality products; single portion in plastic, limited selection and not renewed. Spacious and clean room despite outdated equipment and broken blinds. The bedding was okay, but worn. The staff was pleasant."
