Hotels near Camping Fankhauser AG, Zweisimmen

A very special family-owned hotel with super-friendly staff. Where else do you find three different saunas plus a steam room, a gym, a swimming pool and all sorts of facilities for small children? But even with all that together with skiing (a few minutes walk from the lift), don't expect to lose weight. Breakfast is easily enough to take you beyond tea-time (free cakes) and then comes a multi-course dinner of delicacies delivered by Markus. Oh well, there's always next week to start dieting. My grandchildren are the 4th generation of the family to come to Saaanenmoser - my father started us off over 60 years ago - which says enough about this great place.

We were upgraded to a ”south” facing room. It was quite roomy, furnished with new-looking pine furniture (desk, small table, 3 chairs). Ceiling lined with pine planks, rustic curtains. Very nice little balcony (table + 2 chairs). Size of the room more than adequate and SPOTLESSLY clean (like everything else in the hotel). Bathroom looked like it was remodelled yesterday (clean!!). The large bed (king size) very comfortable. This side of the hotel very quiet, in spite of facing the rail station. Almost no noise from fellow guests. Possible minuses: No minibar, no coffee maker, but an immense menu for available room service. On the main floor a cozy ”lobby”/reading room with soft (extremely low!) sofas - again very quiet and inviting. Every afternoon on the main floor free coffee/tea and cake (homemade). The restaurant is not inexpensive, but the food is exceptional, as is the service (the kitchen serves food continuously from lunch to late night). Make reservations early, since the place fills up fast. The personnel very capable and efficient. Kitchen a bit slow (but not by Swiss standards...). But the wait is worth it. The breakfast buffet is sumptuous: I.e. smoked salmon; cold cuts, a big selection of local cheeses, eggs cooked to order (diy), terriffic breads. Free parking; electric car charging station on premises. The owner Bruno Kernen sees to it that everything runs as it should and is very personable and most helpful (as is the whole staff). In sum: Everything is as described in the official description and ratings. But the reality is much, much better than the theory promises.

The couple who own and rent the chalet are amazing. Really handful and happy people. I really felt at home as it is a little house guest. Great views and very close to the town! I will definitely come back and I highly recommend it!!!

Firstly the positives. Great location, surrounded by mountains, very well appointed spa area, comfortable rooms, a variety of dining options and most importantly a very friendly staff. Good live singer in the evenings (does make for a rather retro 70s feel but fun!) We enjoyed our stay and would likely return and can recommend but also want to provide feedback in the hope it is useful for future improvement So why 4/5 and not 5/5? Due to comparing like for like, a property that is in the 5*L category and charges ＞800 chf a night (see reviews of The Park, The Chedi etc), details matter. The first night we went to the pre-booked restaurant (Spettacolo) and initially told we were booked elsewhere (Oh Vie) until I showed them the email confirmation - a table was found but our dietary restrictions were not conveyed. On the final night (4) we returned to Spettacolo - reservation was made for 7.45, we arrived promptly at 7.40. We ordered water (still) and two glasses of champagne- water arrived as sparkling 20mins later (we didn’t change), champagne 10 mins after that and still no menus. After asking for menus they arrived with the wine list - we waited and had to ask a passing staff member to take our order approx 8.20 (the table next to us had already been served wine, even though we arrived just slightly ahead of them) - order placed we waited for the wine, which required a further reminder. Then at 9.20 we received our main courses, no starters ever received - the waiter did apologize but by this time we preferred to move to the bar for French fries and cheese; we settled the bill and even though we mentioned that we would go to the bar, no help was offered to transfer our bottle of wine and we took it and the glasses with us by ourselves. These details matter and the hotel seems to lack that serious attention to detail, also in house keeping twice items were not replaced and once they forgot to leave floor mats. Finally, at a hotel of this calibre, one expects high quality cocktails, twice dry vodka martinis were anything but dry - hence the 4/5

My niece and I stayed here as part of a hiking trip. From check-in to check-out we were treated like royalty. At check-in, the receptionist explained the hotel amenities and gave us some ideas where to explore in and around Adelboden. The room itself was large and light-filled. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom was somewhat cramped and you had to step up to get in the shower and then down to take the shower. A little strange. There was lots of water pressure and plenty of hot water. The view of the mountains from our room was spectacular. The breakfast buffet had lots to choose from. The wait staff hustled to make sure that items were replaced and kept warm. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
