The hotel was very cute and the staff very helpful in giving us ideas for beautiful hiking trails worth seeing! Extra bonus was that they had a washer and dryer and a pool table in the basement, so we could play pool and hand out while we caught up on some laundry in the middle of our trip.

concierge is off property about 150m walk away. staff were awesomely helpful and gave me some good maps and advice for activities. very new modern room with automatic shutters and a clean feel. everything is well labeled and works as it should. The customizable breakfast is awesome, especially if you’re heading out for a hike! would absolutely stay here again.
Would love to try the main building as Hotel Weissbad next time. This time we stay with Weissbad Lodge in an attic room. The lobby is new and self served. The interior of the attic room though spacious however looks old and dirty with the choice of the floor wood and the lighting. Won’t choose the Lodge next time. But the receptionist in Hotel Wiessbad ( check in here though I stay at the lodge) was very helpful and friendly. Clear instructions and good advice on the tourist spots.

Sauberkeit im Zimmer lässt zu wünschen übrig
Das Zimmer in der Lodge hat eine Dusche "wie in einem Formel 1 Hotel. Funktionierte jedoch alles einwandfrei. Dagegen war der Boden definitiv nicht sauber, denn unsere Socken waren voll Staub, Haare und Schmutz.
Das Frühstück im Hotel ist dagegen top.
Fazit: Zimmerpreis zu hoch, nicht sauber, doch Frühstück ist TOP.
Grosszügiges Zimmer und Bad. Lodge in Gehdistanz zum Hotel Hofweissbad und Bahnhof. Frühstück in Selbstbedienung. Gut aber nur kleine Auswahl mit Brot, Käse, Eier, Konfitüre, Jogurth, Milch, O-Saft, Kaffee/Tee. Kein Laktosefreies Angebot vorhanden. Aufenthaltsraum mit Sofas und TV. Leider keine Tische für Frühstück. Gratis Parkplatz in der Tiefgarage.

Wunderbares Weekend mit Freunden in fantasitischer Umgebung. Fühlten uns jederzeit sicher (auch in dieser COVID Zeit). Die Schutzmassnahmen werden sehr gut umgesetzt und das Personal ist immer super Freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Das Essen im Hofweissbad von Käthi Fässler war einmal mehr ein Gaumenfest.
