Hotel Weissenstein

Nous sommes allés au Weissenstein en VTT et avons vraiment adoré cet endroit. L'hôtel est très classe, les chambres décorées avec goût et le personnel (parfois décrié dans d'autres commentaires) hyper-sympathique. On ne vous parle pas de la vue qui est bien sûr époustouflante. Si vous en avez l'occasion, n'hésitez pas à visiter cet endroit magique.

At around 10:00 a.m., I sit down at a table in the Hotel Weissenstein. There is only one other guest, and he is having a coffee. An employee comes over to me and asks me what I would like to drink. I order a hot Ovomaltine. The employee continues setting the tables. After a while, I fix her with a questioning look. She comes back to me and asks me what I would like to drink. Still a hot Ovomaltine, of course. The employee continues setting the tables. Slowly losing patience, I ask her whether it is more important to set the tables or to serve the guests. She comes over to me and tells me that the employee who serves drinks is not there at the moment. I ask her if she could get an Ovo from the machine herself. That is not her job, she replies. I am in a hurry. I get up and am about to leave. At that moment, a young boy comes up and yells at me, telling me to leave their employees alone. He's the boss, by the way. Instead of satisfying the guest, he yells at me fiercely and tells me that this is hopefully the last time I'll be at the Hotel Weissenstein! I've been coming to the Weissenstein for over 60 years, way back when the boy wasn't even born. Instead of mediating and making the best of things, I'm snubbed by today's youth, who no longer know where their money comes from. The Weissenstein is no longer Solothurn's local mountain. Since the Zurichers took over, they only want to serve the upper class, not ordinary people. This is evident in the far too high prices, which no longer match the service. I've experienced these and similar stories again and again recently on our former local mountain. To be continued...

Great view. Very good food with friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended if you want to come up here to enjoy the food and the view. We also wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet of a mountain hotel. The room was simple but well furnished, clean with a small window and a great view. Unfortunately, sleep until after midnight was out of the question. A group that had been there since early evening was making noise on the terrace until well after midnight. The staff should have urgently directed this group inside where the noise would not have been so bad. The breakfast buffet was chaotic, had the feel of a cafeteria and was excessively loud. The staff were overwhelmed; many items from the buffet were no longer available, and it was impossible to ask anyone for advice as several staff members were busy preparing the terrace. Day visitors were treated much better at breakfast than hotel guests. Conclusion: Worthwhile for the meal, but we advise against staying overnight.

Oster-Brunch war super. Frische und qualitative Speisen und Prosecco à discretion. Unschlagbares Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Aufmerksames und nettes Personal. Schöne Aussicht und leicht zu erreichen mit der Gondelbahn. Gerne wieder.

Waren am Osterbrunch. Es gibt eine sehr grosse Auswahl von käse über Antipasti bis zu Mittagessen. Bei schönem Wetter kann man zwischendurch noch einen Spaziergang machen, bei uns war es leider regnerisch und windig. Können den Brunch sehr empfehlen und ist ein toller Ausflug.
