We booked the Hotel Alpina through the hostel.world website when we were touring Europe and got a great price. The hotel is only 7-10 minute walk (at the most) from the train station, and is such a pretty log cabin style building! The owners are really lovely, Hermann was a great host, full of local knowledge. Great view from the... more

The Alpina was great for our family of 4. We had a room with a loft, and the kids went up a ladder to the loft. It made me a little nervous for the kids to be up there (ages 10 and 13), even though there was a railing, but they were fine. The room was very clean and simple,... more

All the staff speak good english, in fact their language skills were amazing at dinner, as they switched language as necessary between each of the diners! more

We took the half-board option and... more

We have just returned from a week's skiing in Kandersteg, booked through Kuoni. We stayed in a superior family room which had a double bed and two single beds in a separate mezanine floor which the kids were very excited about. The hotel is 2-star so doesn't have those additional luxuries like a swimming pool and spa, but it has... more

I have stayed at the Alpina, Kandersteg twice. Once in October 1993 and then through Kuoni in May/June 2001. I like the family run Swiss atmosphere and their selection and presentation of food and rooms. I feel comfortable and very at home there. I LOVE Kandersteg as you can see from my email address. I first visited because of my... more
