The hotel put on an exceptional New Years Eve with fireworks, drinks and oysters on the deck for hotel guests. Unfortunately, there seemed to be lots of people that weren't staying at the hotel that drank most of the champagne and we barely got a glass. Perhaps they need to police that a bit better.
The New Years Eve dinner was wonderful in their restaurant.
Good spa area.
Breakfast did not have a great variety and cooked meals were extra. Our room was cold because it was up in the roof area.
Some of the staff were a bit abrupt and aloof. The barman not so friendly.
Apparently, they can only do 1 or 2 fondue settings at time on the deck. We were told it was booked solid. However, we did not see that many people out on the deck. Disappointing!
It is still quite a distance to a skiing area. Not ski in and out.

Staff were the best thing for us. Super helpful, responsive and kind. Met a brilliant staff member down in the breakfast area dark hair (Arlina?) who was so attentive and looked after us each time she saw us, she really did make our stay. I hope she gets a raise she was top notch !
Room was clean and of nice scandi design. Loved that you got two full glass bottles of water each day (not plastic!). stayed in a South Room and a north Room and didnt mind either. Even the road noise (north) wasnt too bad once he windows were closed.
Food was good we had fondue one night out on the terrace but through no fault of the hotel we were inundated by instagrammers taking photos by our table which was by the fire pit with no spacial awareness to their surroundings (us!) The same happened down in the spa area which made less for relaxing and more for the photo opps!!
Walkable into the town which is cute / pleasant.
Switzerland is expensive so it is what it is plus we stayed during the Xmas Holidays just before NY Eve.
We would have loved to have stayed at The Brecon but couldn't get a room for our dates so chose The Cambrian.
Children running around the hotel and jumping around in the pool but it was the Xmas holidays!
Waiting for the ski shuttle at times took longer than we would have liked. But minor detail.

Everything was fantastic and we liked the charm of Wales combined with Swissness :1)

The hotel is beautiful and located in a charming, authentic town that is not overly touristy, right in the heart of the Alpine landscape surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The on-site restaurant is excellent, and there are also many great dining options nearby.
The heated outdoor pool overlooking the breathtaking scenery is simply magical. The rooms are spacious, stylishly designed, and fully equipped with everything you need for a perfect Alpine getaway.
The staff deserves special mention — exceptionally warm, friendly, and welcoming, making the entire stay even more memorable.

The guests next door thought it was a spring break hotel vs a nice family hotel

This was a real gem. From the moment we arrived in Adelboden we were amazed by the picturesque views and the calmness which matched so well with the hotel theme and spa vibe. It is a gorgeous place. We loved every minute of it and had an overall great experience. It was also our Mini Moon and we were welcome well. Great service and location. Our room had the best mountain view you can get 😊
To be honest I can’t think of anything. It was all perfect

I love this hotel and have been back a few times. It never disappoints. The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is luxurious and very cosy. I love all the little touches like the sun room, the pool with the view of the mountain and the nice accessories.
I was really looking forward to dinner at the Bryn Williams restaurant and although it was a very nice evening I was a little disappointed with the menu, it wasn't very expansive and seemed a bit standard for the cost. I wouldn't eat there again, although the food we had was of a nice quality.

8.0 / 10.0
The expectation was really high. Of course this was a great option to stay, modern and kind of a luxury hotel with outdoor pool facing such great scenery. And in fact it is really good, especially the location and views if you are lucky to have good weather.
Service was fine, mostly welcoming.
Breakfast buffet was quite good.
Worth noting that sound proofing was really good - both for rooms and from the street noises.
The devil is in the details.
1) There are 2 pillows offered, both the same size and too soft. Please offer 2 different ones, one being more firm.
2) Parking is extra charge and not included in the already high price of the accommodation. Should definitely be included/provided free of charge.
3) The outdoor pool is very very small and of course looks bigger in the photos presented.
And also it would be great if someone was supervising that guests are following your own rules (e.g. - no photos in specific hours, because not everyone is a blogger and some people actually want to relax in the pool; only traditional bathing suits etc).

Location, quality of rooms, old world feel
The property, services and staff are very good to excellent, just would’ve wanted more for the money (CHF 850/night)

Location. It is set up in the perfect place away from the civilization.
The staff - their performance, their promptness, their demeanor, their attitude were incredible. They engaged with us, even though they were running around. Very impressed!
I liked everything. But I do have a few suggestions for the management. ( I did give good ratings - and I loved the property)
1. For the $ we are paying per night which is comparable to Ritz, maybe provide an turndown service.
2. I didn’t see an a la carte breakfast option - maybe I missed it. The buffet - even though good, wasn’t at par.
3. I would have expected a hot tub or a jacuzzi
4. The gym room is smaller than the guest room. I understand that it’s adelboden and we expect people to get outside - but it’s the smallest gym I have ever seen.
5. Dining. It’s a pretty high end resort. And if you want to project yourself as that, you’d have to provide that service during fine dining. Maybe separate fine dining into outside and inside. We had babies throwing breadcrumbs and teenagers on loud phone calls while couples were having candlelit conversations over fine wine. Waiters were apologizing to us and we were accommodating but we had guests around us who had no courtesy or civic sense.
6. Pool deck. For a property whose USP is the pool, there’s not enough space for pool chairs. There’s like 6 below the pool, and you’d have climb upstairs to get to 3 more cabanas. We were lucky we walked into couple who were leaving their chairs when we walked in - but I am sure others didn’t get so lucky.
Now will I recommend you to my friends? 100% few tweaks here and there - and you’d be the best experience ever. Your staff is amazing - your management just has to make a few adjustments here and there.

The stunning property, pools, restaurant (+ restaurant staff) and the killer view.
Front desk staff were not overly attentive or friendly. There were robe shortages and empty body wash when we arrived (which we are only mentioning because generally customer service is top notch with this price point).

Beautiful hotel, great breakfast, nice stuff, good location. Very much enjoyed our stay, worth to come back.
On a days when hotel was full, it was very busy in the spa. Not enough beds, outdoor pool was packed with people. Could be more spots for chilling in the spa or people shouldn't block the beds and be gone for hours in the pool.

Great location, restaurant is fantastic.
We had feeling as soon as you close the window there is no fresh air, it was always hot in the room. People at the reception were not really on the top, did not really tell us anything about the hotel or where to go/what to do. Things did not seem to be well organised.

The staff were so kind and showed us around the hotel and to our room during check in. The pool, restaurant, room service and breakfast were on point! The view is just amazing and staff were super helpful at recommending some great trails! The location is ideal if you just want to walk around town or go hiking. Adelboden did not feel so full of tourist which was nice if you are really looking to get some R&R. Putting my name on the TV during check into our room was a nice little touch. Well worth the stay.
N/A everything was great!

The gym was super clean and nice.
There was a really bad sewage smell in the bathroom when we arrived in the room.
The staff were not as friendly as they use to be. I stayed at the Cambrian a few times and the service use to be amazing. The food use to be super good as well.
I was also told about the room service fee that kept changing the entire time. Sometimes was 0, sometimes was 15 and sometimes was 30 which it made no sense. The food and the table trolley for the room service use to be so nicely place and well presented, I felt like this time they just threw the plate and cutlery on the table and deliver the food. I felt the lack of attention and passion.
It use to be one of my favourite hotels to visit and relax but it’s safe to say that’s it’s not longer my fav hotel.

It was an absolute amazing stay and very helpful staff! I have to mention Amaarah , who was absolutely fantastic and helpful from the start ,helping us getting here from the train station. Made our experience even better. We would definitely come back to this hotel. The hotel facilities and room was amazing. Easily the best hotel we have stayed in during our 8 days tour.
No issues.
