Hotel Restaurant Escher

"Great value for the price. It’s a very well-kept place with cozy interiors dating back to the nineties, when “Swiss quality” really meant a difference. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Although the breakfast starts somewhat late for a hotel in Switzerland (after 8:00) you’ll get to enjoy your traditional morning meal in a beautiful restaurant room with views of the Alpine panorama. A great choice we made for our trip in early March, where we made the winter walk from Sunnbüel (Kandersteg) to Gemmi (Leukerbad)."

Alpina

"This place is quintessential Swiss. Adorable, hotel, friendly staff, perfect sized rooms, complimentary buffet breakfast, restaurant and bar (that make the best Hugo’s I’ve had so far in Switzerland). They offered of free Gemmi pass for the gondola to go the top of the mountain and the pass could be used for other various activities, which we didn’t get to take advantage of (this could save you approx $25 CHF). They also offered discounted tickets to the thermal spa in town (which is a must do after a long hike). This hotel is centrally located in town but it’s also right next to the clock tower, which goes off every 15 minutes and then what I call random chiming on the hour. It can be a bit much right next to it. Also, room 15 is right next to the door to go down to the restaurant and reception so it might be a little more noisy. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this place and I loved the staff and they were very helpful, and spoke English."

Hotel Viktoria-Leukerbad-Therme

"I stayed with Inger & Rinaldo high up in Leukerbad that I am fairly sure I was level with the peaks on a Toblerone bar!: The mountain tops covered in snow, crisp air, breathtaking views and a wonderful local thermal spa. Hotel Viktoria is absolutely 'Alpine' for comfort. Check-in easy, charming and efficient. Swiss-tuned, so to speak. The key card to your room also provides access to local cable cars (which you need to reach the skiing slopes, amongst others) and further outdoor activities. Another key provides direct access to the local thermal spa with indoor pools, 2 outdoor pools and sauna - instead of turning left for breakfast, you head up one floor and turn right into the spa. So SO relaxing from the minute you decide to enjoy yourself at the spa and / or sauna. I enjoyed the spa on a daily basis (again all included in my stay). After a few hours in the thermal baths, I was basically Switzerland myself: calm, balanced and strictly neutral about everything. Rooms are large and have a balcony overlooking mountains, the town and / or the spa. Snow-capped peaks provided for maximum postcard impact! Breakfast is a triumph. It feels like 'Grimm's Fairy Tales': "Little table, set yourself' or "Tischlein Deck Dich" if you still remember your German from school. Fresh local bread from the 'Wallis' region, hot coffee & tea made to your liking, always with a smile and friendly advice from Inger, Rinaldo & Maria. My only real complaint? ... Leaving!"
