Hotel Steinmattli

Excellent hotel in all ways. The management are so friendly and helpful. My room was large with a fabulous bathroom, balcony and great view of the mountains. The bed was comfortable with a lovely lightweight but warm duvet. Both breakfast and dinner exceeded expectations, dinner especially was amazing quality every night. The ski boot room is heated with plenty space for everyone's skis and boots. It is a short (100m) walk from the town lift which takes you to the main lift up to the ski area. A further 20m and you are in the main street with ski shops, amazing bakeries and a couple of supermarkets.

The single room was very large.....more the 20 square meters. The bed was rather small for my 1 meter 90 length. The bathroom is large and excellent. My room was on the top floor, giving the ceiling wooden beams and a wonderfully private balcony with great views. The location is excellent, just off of the main town road and almost next to the lift that takes you down to Oey. The food in the restaurant is excellent, with varied choices and the restaurant has an excellent view towards the mountains. I miss the possibility of making tea in the room. The hallways could use a bit of attention......rather sterile. A bit more of a Swiss feel would be great. If you book your trip during the summer months, busses and gondola's are free. In winter, only the busses. This is huge plus, and very well organized.

We really had a lovely time andvenjoyed every minute. The service the staff everyone was so kind and friendly and helpful. The food was great and the salad bar was top. The vieuw from the restaurant was top. There is 1 thing. The bed in our room is really ready to be changed.

Stayed here as part of an escorted tour. The location is good as close to town and the food is excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. However the room was very basic and tired. The beds were the worst I have ever slept in. Water in a bottle was provided the first day but once you had drunk it you had to get water from the tap and the glass was never replaced- this is not something I would expect from a 4 star hotel. One person had a room with no socket in it.

My experience at the Steinmattli was very good. Situated in the heart of the village with Mountain View’s to die for. I had a large room on the third floor with a balcony looking out across the valley. The room was large clean and in good order. The bathroom was also well equipped and well maintained. Not the most comfortable bed in the world but I got used to it. The buffet breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The food served in the restaurant was also very good quality and well presented. There is a large bar lounge area on the ground floor. Sometimes it was quite difficult to get served at the bar as it was deserted by staff. Although beer prices are very reasonable, Spirit prices I found extortionate at 17 Swiss Francs for a Gin and Tonic and 18 francs for a large glass of Sauvignon Blanc. But Switzerland is an expensive destination. I should also mention the staff who very good, friendly and helpful.

The Steinmattli is very well situated for access to the slopes of Adelboden. There is a short walk, slightly uphill, of about 100m to the gondola which takes you down to the village and links with the gondola up to the ski area. My room was large, with a patio, had a bath (always great when skiing!) and plenty of storage. The meals are good, with great selection at breakfast, and 4 courses at dinner with 3 options of main course. The boot room has enough seating for a good number of people to put on boots at the same time - this is not the same everywhere! The staff are friendly, speak good English and are helpful in the event of any need or crisis. The spa area is very good, though no swimming pool, and a small irritation is that you have to pay CHF 10 per day that you use the spa. Overall, a very good stay in Adelboden.
