This was an absolute find. In a beautiful location a short bus or train ride from Gstaad. The dorm was fine - clean but with the most glorious view. Great buffet breakfast included and the 16CHF dinner is a bargain.. and tasty.

Super friendly and helpful reception staff. Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was great! Were able to get our laundry done (washed, dried & folded) overnight for a very reasonable fee - an unexpected plus!

Gerne wieder!

Das moderne Gebäude mit viel Holz und Sichtbeton ist sehr ansprechend. Der Empfang war freundlich, die Zimmer zweckmässig eingerichtet und sauber. Das 6-Bettzimmer mit Lavabo war direkt vis-a-vis der Toiletten und Duschen situiert. Das Frühstück war gut und reichhaltig. Es herrscht eine sehr familienfreundliche Atmosphäre. Gerne wieder.

Etwas zu spartanisch eingerichtet. Im Bad fehlt eine Badetuchstange. Die Hakenleiste an der Wand im Zimmer ist wenig praktisch. Eine zweite Sitzmöglichkeit, ein zweiter Stuhl, wäre gut.
