Hotel Steinmattli

Very nice hotel well maintained with helpfull and friendly staff. Hotel is close to the ski-lift in a very nice town. Not sure about the normal rooms but experienced a very nice renovated room. Food was great with a nice selection of wines. Didnt experience the spa area given no swimming pool but if you want a full experience, reco to book a spa in the Cambrian hotel.

Great staff, always willing to help. Special mention to Ines the evening dinner waitress who went out her way to be friendly, warm and helpful. Also the chef who prepared some beautiful dinner menus. Sadly, the state of the rooms left much to be desired. Dim, dingy and shabby with a stale aroma. Lacking the basic facilities a modern hotel should have such as a fridge, coffee/ tea making gear, and USB charging points. The last time I saw a plastic shower curtain would have been in the 1970s. That and the dirty yellowed vent in the bathroom churning out stale aromas was a turnoff. Although the staff are great they seem to vanish between 23.00 and 07.30, really, and if someone needs help; good luck with that. If you would like a drink from the bar be prepared to wait as the bar staff also double up as receptionist and vice versa. I was part of a group with the One Traveller company who in my opinion oversell the standard of this hotel. Two stars would be ample.

An easy 5 minute walk from the post bus station. The property is dated but in mint condition. Large rooms with expansive balconies. Bar and a large sitting area are part of the reception area. Both the reception and restaurant service was par excellent. Very friendly and was well looked after. Stayed on half board basis and food exceeded expectations.

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.

Disclaimer: I am a long-time fan of the Steinmattli, having stayed here many times, and it never fails to deliver the perfect experience. From the moment you arrive, Ralph-Marc and his outstanding team ensure a warm, welcoming stay. The accommodation is both cosy and impeccably clean, offering everything you could possibly need. Its location is simply ideal—tucked in a peaceful area just off the Dorfstrasse, yet only steps away from the mountain lifts and endless hiking trails that make Adelboden such a treasure. The food offerings at the Steinmattli are nothing short of spectacular, and this year, they somehow managed to exceed my already high expectations. The wellness area is another highlight—relaxing, full of character, and the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the stunning alpine surroundings. I couldn't recommend the Steinmattli more highly for anyone seeking a charming, tranquil stay in one of the best parts of Switzerland. I look forward to my next visit.
