Landgasthof Ruedihus Hotel Kandersteg

Review by hotel critic

I recently had the chance to stay at Landgasthof Ruedihus, a 350-year-old gem that showcases the traditional Bernese style. The hotel’s ambiance, filled with antiques and the decorative charm of centuries past, certainly provides an authentic Swiss experience. While the accommodations were inviting with a sitting area and a lovely garden, the age of the structure did make it easy to hear footsteps above, which might not be ideal for light sleepers. The complimentary welcome drink was a nice touch, and I appreciated that the staff were courteous, speaking both German and English, which made us feel right at home. Dining was a standout feature. The breakfast, beautifully presented, offered a selection of treats, and I highly recommend trying the mushroom fondue for dinner. Their flexible dining arrangements—especially accommodating my last-minute needs for my daughter—reflect their commitment to guest satisfaction. At their sister hotel, guests can access a wellness area that includes a jacuzzi and sauna, enhancing the overall stay without added costs. Given the quality of service and amenities, the value aligns well with the price, making it a wise choice for travelers seeking both luxury and cost-effectiveness.
