Hotel in zona Restaurant Park, Fiesch

A very nice hotel only about 10 minutes from Brig's train station. My double room had a balcony that faced the castle and the mountains beyond. Staff are friendly and kept in touch in the days leading to my arrival to make sure everything was all sorted. The room is very clean and comfortable although the curtains were a bit thin. Luckily, it's winter so the sun doesn't rise so early or else it would certainly wake me up if it were summertime. Breakfast was quite decent with a good choice of cold cuts, cheese, cereals, a big selection of tea, and even fresh fruits. Brig is a good base to explore Zermatt, Saas-Fee, and the mountaintop towns facing the Aletsch Glacier.

Rimasto a Hotel Stockalperhof per 4 notti nel corso del Classic Glacier Express Tour (Grande Ferrovia). Camere a 5 piani con camere numerose e con un piccolo balcone che guarda le montagne. La macchina del caffè (pod) fornisce solo 2 pot e dopo questo è necessario pagare per il vostro (Coop è a 100m di distanza) così si termina mangiare e bere fuori molto tempo. Il bagno è soggetto a una posizione troppo bassa per essere di qualsiasi uso, con un tubo troppo breve in molte camere, che deve essere esaminato dal direttore. L'hotel è molto ben situato a Brig con diversi ristoranti sul cancello e a soli 350 m da stazione ferroviaria.

What a pleasant surprise. We stumbled upon the Baxter Hotel when we missed a connection to Zurich and need a place to stay late at night. When we got to the front door Rachel greeted us as she was closing for the evening. She was so helpful trying to find us alternatives to get to Zurich. We ended up staying over night. She was simply amazing, bending over backwards to help us. The hotel is simple but nice, cute rooms and very comfortable beds. We all would love to come back and see Visp and see what the town has to offer and visit our lifesaver Rachel at the Baxter again. Nice place great people and right across of the train station. Highly recommend. You can’t go wrong.

We were hiking from Schynige platte til First, and had clearly underestimated the hike and perhaps overestimated our own ability. When we reached First, the gondola down to Grindelwald was closed (for anyone else, please note that they close it rather early (17:30-18:00-ish) considering how long a hike it is from Schynige Platte, and start as early as possible, since it takes quite some time to even reach Schynige Platte with the mountain train from Wilderswil). We called the hotel, to let them know, that we were coming but it would take some time, as we had to walk down from First on very sore legs. Steffie from the reception (sorry if this is not the correct spelling of your name) was incredible kind, and tried to help us as best as possible, and directed us to the hotel halfway down, where we could try to call for a taxi. We made it to the hotel, and as luck would have it, a taxi pulled in at the same time, as it was driving some people up to the hotel up there. If you should happen to end up in the same situation, try calling a taxi and see if they will go all the way up to First. It should be possible but will of course cost a bit to get them up there. The hike down to the hotel halfway down was quite steep, so hard on the knees. We were delighted to crawl into the taxi and get driven all the way to the hotel door. Here we met Steffie, who kindly offered to open up the spa area just for us, as it had closed before we were able to reach the hotel, and would not open until after we had to check out the next day. We were too tired at that point, and were in stead allowed to go in the spa the next day, despite having checked out at that point. We ordered some food from Steffie and got it sent up to our room, and enjoyed a meal, a nice bath and a comfortable bed. The next day, we enjoyed a very nice breakfast with champagne. Best of all was the employee cooking up omelets on order at the breakfast bar. We checked out. Stored our luggage at the hotel and went for a walk in town, before heading back to the hotel and enjoying the spa after it had opened. Steffie provided us with a key to the spa, and we were then lucky enough to be able to enjoy the spa all to ourselves. Definitely recommend using it when it opens up around noon if you have the opportunity. The infinity pool was just amazing in the sunlight and with the mountains in the background. Absolutely recommend this hotel, and a very big thank you to Steffie for the great service!

Questo è un ostello molto bello composto da 2 edifici. Le camere doppie sono in un edificio separato, il che significa che è bello e tranquillo lontano dai gruppi. Le camere sono spaziose e pulite. Il buffet è grande, meglio di quello che si offre in alcuni hotel meno costosi. Abbiamo anche cenato una volta, che era molto delizioso e buono valore per i soldi. Il sole è disponibile sul patio, ci sono posti a sedere fuori e un ”grillplatz”. In tutto ciò abbiamo avuto un ottimo soggiorno in questo ostello.
