Switzerland Hotels

Not worth the money

Advantages: Beautiful surroundings
Disadvantages: A trek from the main street and not family friendly

Good points first - hotel very clean and tidy and the food was excellent. Room maids were fantastic. Staff very friendly and a quiet location, with excellent views of Wengen and surrounding mountains. We stayed for New Year and the restaurant gets very full. Bad points - we stayed in a junior suite and the beds are nothing more than camp beds with very uncomfortable pillows. Fixtures and fittings aren't quiet 4 star i.e. no power shower, small bath ...
...are advised not to attend dinner and for the parents to use the hotel's listening service. We had a 9 month old baby and although it states fridge, it's a chiller not a fridge. Luckily we had a window in our bathroom and the outside temp was below 5oC most days, so the baby milk and food was kept outside. Service in the bar and lounge during the day is very slow i.e. when ordering food and drinks. The walk to the hotel is up hill all the way from ...

Review of Beausite Park Hotel, Wengen

THE WILBACH HOTEL....UNDERNEATH THE ARCHES....

Advantages: Location - View. The Room. Car Park.
Disadvantages: Location - Railway! Food. (Some) Staff. Poor Value.

...DID WE BOOK THE HOTEL WILDBACH in BRIENZ? This is a more complicated question than usual to answer. For more years than I care to remember I have dreamed of returning to Switzerland, specifically to the Bernese Oberland region of central southern Switzerland. As a child, travelling with my parents, we used to stop in a small town called Brienz overnight on our way through to northern Italy. The last time that I was here would have been as an eight ...
...southern lake shore, or the Wildbach on the opposite shore in Brienz. The Strand was a rather larger, grander three star hotel, with modern "international" style rooms. Its setting looked idyllic however and, at around £80 per night - this was October and therefore off-season - comparable in price to the two star Wildbach almost opposite on the lake. However, one thing put us off, unnecessarily as it turned out, there was no hotel; car park, merely ...

Review of Wildbach Hotel - Brienz

A lovely hotel in the Swiss Alps

Advantages: Friendly staff, excellent food
Disadvantages: Limited disabled access, only 12 rooms

...have owned the only hotel, Ustreia Bavregn in the Swiss Alpine hamlet of Donat (often spelled Donath) for well over three decades. I came here in the November of 1993 on a business trip and since this time I have recommended this place to dozens of different people, including my parents, but until February 2008 I had not had the chance to return. When my company was once again looking for a location in Switzerland to meet with our Swiss, Italian, ...
...To say that Ustreia Bavregn is in an idyllic setting would be an understatement. At 1,043 metres above sea level (3,422 feet) the hotel stands on the lower slopes of some of the highest mountains in Europe. Donat is the sort of place where time stands still and if you had arrived here blindfolded you could be forgiven for thinking that you were in the middle of nowhere but in fact the E43, one the main routes through the Alps, between Northern Italy ...

Review of Ustreia Bavregn, Donat

Ms Marian Wickliffe

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Lacked decor, unprofessional staff, inadequate restaurant

I have just arrived back from a short stay at this hotel in Geneva. The location is convenient, five mins from the airport and ten from city. But unfortunately that is about all I have to say in its favour. It is very basic, staff are unprofessional and rude, down to smoking in the reception area and consuming alcohol in the bar area, when supposed to be on duty. It does not make a good impression I am afraid. Food on the evening menu is overpriced ...
...in the old city area for similiar prices to what this hotel was charging. We took breakfast in the Nash airport hotel next door which was lovely as we would not even consider having breakfast in the Ibis, after a bad experience with the dinner menu. I strongly advise, choose another hotel. ...

Review of Ibis Geneve Aeroport, Cointrin

Beautiful Views Looking At The Eiger

Advantages: Beautiful views, friendly staff, lovely rooms, lovely area, everything is just perfect
Disadvantages: Have to go outside the hotel to go to a pool

...word to say about this hotel it would be, brilliant, although i do have a lot more words to describe this hotel. I have been to the Eiger Hotel twice in the last two years, and each time i have gone the service and hospitality has been wonderful! The waiters and the receptionists, every single worker is caring and helps you along your holiday. The first time i came, we had a room facing the Eiger, the room was set out perfect and they helped us ...
...families first visit to the hotel they let us meet other people who were staying in the hotel that had been going for years. They told us all their stories about the hotel, and while we were chatting they gave us food and drink. Another great idea they have is when you have been out and about walking or skiing and you come back tired and hot, they have cakes and drinks which allows you to meet up with other families and also to just relax. There ...
