Revier Mountain Lodge Adelboden

Baffled at how anyone could build a hotel with large picture windows offering superb mountain views - but that don't open. The tiny maybe 4 inch wide windows that do open are clearly far from adequate to ventilate the room, which was 26c when we arrived, when temp was 22c outside. The hotel is aware of the problem, yet has only two - yes two - portable fans for the entire hotel. And I know it's a no frills model - but are glasses in the bathroom a frill? First and last stay.

We went to Adelboden with my partner and some friends and planed for an early rise for skiing. However, it was impossible to sleep in our room due to extremely loud music from the restaurant (it was like it was playing IN our room). We asked to change the room, but received no help. The music played until a bit after midnight, after that the personnel started to move the furniture above which scraped to floor and made a lot of noises. Just next to our room on the third floor there were some kind of storage room where the staff ran in and out, having the metal door slamming all the time. When everything got quiet around 02:00 the sound from a loud fan took over, most likely from the storage room for skiis on our floor. Around 06:00 personnel started to run in the storage room again. In total we slept 3-4 hours that night. After this horrible night we were in no position to go skiing. It was still not possible to change room so we then asked if they could cancel our second night, which they did not want to do. So instead we choose to cancel our trip and went home to be able to sleep. Don’t choose this hotel if you expect good service or to be able to sleep.

I was in general very positively impressed by Revier Lodge Adelboden: spotless clean room, big bed, very comfortable bathroom, a big ski room with a lot of space for storing skis and boots, easy parking; but there were also a couple of negative points: 1) there isn't any information, either on the website or in the various confirmations after booking or paying, that the guest will receive a "guest card" that, on top of other offers, gives right to a 2-days skipass for 79 CHF instead of the normal 140/150 CHF. Knowing about the dynamic prices, my friend and I bought the skipass in advance, and ended up paying 60 CHF more each of us. When I received the "guest card" (just few hours before arrival) it was already widely too late to claim the discount at the lifts. I believe information about this should be given at booking time. 2) the breakfast is too late (07:30) and not worth at all the 18 CHF paid for it. With the lifts opening at 8 AM it's extremely difficult to enjoy a breakfast and be able to the be there at opening time; one has to have breakfast in a hurry, or to give up skiing in the early hours, when slopes are empty and perfectly groomed; on top of that the selection at breakfast is extremely cheap: few slices of ham and cheese, inexpensive cereals, some bread, etc. Also something that's quite common, even in lower category hotels, like a cappuccino or espresso, is only available with an additional fee. For sure in a future stay I will not include the breakfast and I'll go to have it at the confiserie or the kiosk just around the corner. 3) not a negative, but at least a confusing situation: the whole hotel concept looks inspired to environmental/energy sustainability, then it's quite surprising to find a 50 square meters ski room heated up to 30 degrees 7x24 when, for melting the ice on the skis, the normal 20 degrees heating would be more than enough, and much more efficient systems exists for drying and warming up ski boots.

It took us 2 hours to drive from Zurich airport to this hotel. It was worth every single minute. This hotel is simply amazing, if you are in doubt of coming to this place, stop thinking, just come and you will enjoy. We stayed at an XL Top Floor Cabin, view was amazing (see pictures). Check in was easy and smooth on a computer, no people at front desk. They instantly send you your code to access your room. Hotel has parking for an extra cost, food is good for dinner and breakfast. Rooms are simple, modern and beautiful. You have to visit Revier Mountain Lodge, you won’t regret it.

One of the best views in Switzerland and the friendliest staff EVER. Great variety on the dinner menu, great atmosphere and great live music. This is one for the bucket list as there is so much to do in Adelboden. Can’t wait to get back. See you soon.

I'm not advising anyone to stay there,,only the view nice the rest are really poor Bed not comfortable at all Smile of wood in the room No service at room e.g iron, Water glass, Service fees for service, air condtion, breakfast was same just few options Not recommended for family or couples

The location is beautiful - the staff is even nicer (Swiss Wood Hotel) The price is too high for the small room size There is no minibar And no tea table It is possible to develop the addition of a movable hanging table made of wood with hinges

Too expensive for the amenities on offer - I am referring to the rooms - basic offering, no thrills. Excellent location, but this argument does not cover for the shortcomings of the accommodation. Restaurant is good, as well as the service.

Perfectly located simple hotel. We have booked for a week of skiing, it was very convenient to have our skies stored in the ski room and to walk to gondolas. We were lacking a small table with the chairs but we really liked a big bed by the window.
