Hotel Alpine Lodge

Sauna was very good. Also the ambiente.

Very stylish, helpful staff beyond what you would normally expect

A big lawn and outside area - lovely lounge - very big room - very friendly staff - we got upgrade do we had a great balcony - location is good for Gstaad and Saanen

Bathroom a bit small and could do with an upgrade - but fully functional and clean

· Breakfast was really lovely, garden and setting is fabulous and well-cared for. Staff, particularly Martin, go out of their way to be helpful and to make the place a home from home for guests. Relaxed, welcoming and all in all, very impressive.

I think we were a little bit unlucky on the noise front. The hotel is very family friendly, which is of course a plus. However, the room we had (which was lovely) was near the kids playground and there was a very lively bunch of kids around while we were there. We happened to be having a child-free couple of days away. If you are aiming for a couple's time, I would advise asking for a room at the opposite end, away from the playground. But this is not really a criticism of the hotel, which is fabulous. There is no air conditioning, but there are good shutters and the rooms on the north side keep relatively cool. A fan for the hot weather might be a good idea in the rooms.
