Apart Hotel Ferienwohnungen Adelboden am Dorfplatz

Pros -good location; beautiful village - local restaurants close - nice kitchen - clean apartment Cons - all digital ( keys, etc). No internet =no way to get in - poor instructions - nobody on-site to handle issues. AirBnB usually has much better communication/instructions/prices. - lots of paperwork just a few days prior to check in (not fun trying to complete this while on vacation) - excuses from staff when approached with problems - LOUD neighbors (again no ownership from staff)

We booked here as it was one of the more affordable options for Adelboden. Was a central location with a good kitchen. As just two people travelling, many of the chalets to rent were too big for us, and we wanted more meal flexibility than a hotel, and this seemed to fit these requirements. Positives - central location. Very easy to access bus stop (5 mins walk). Coop also very close, as well as several bakeries, restaurants etc. - kitchen very well equipped. Including coffee machine, fondue, raclette, and many more. - very clean - bathroom good, functional and nice powerful shower - digital key worked well for check in and during most of our stay - nice welcome box of oil, tea bags, dishwasher Tablets etc…all the basic. More can be ordered very quickly (and for many things for free). I requested more dischwasher tablets on the app and there were outside our door within the hour. Negatives - location. Whilst I expected town noise given the location, I didn’t expect it to be as noisy as it was. The bar next door is open til 1.30am and 2.30am Fri and Sat, meaning it was very loud. Music and increasingly loud people sat outside. We had to close the windows to be able to hear ourselves talk at one point. But with no air con and summer heat had to open them again quickly after. - lack of privacy. First floor apartment meant when you were in the bedroom area you were almost on eye level for people walking down the path next to the apartment. Either had to keep the shutters down all the time, or felt very overlooked. Had to either get dressed in the bathroom or keep the shutters closed. - Balcony looked nice on the photo, but given the amount of noise from the bar next door and Mister Cordons, as well as cigarette smoke, it wasn’t used. - obstacle course to access the front door of the apartment block. You have to walk between tables and signage boards, and banners to access the front door. Even at night, this is all left out, including the metal stake for the banners. This feels awkward when people are eating, and it also frustrating with lots of bags. The side door used to access the bins would be more sensible as an access door. - late check out. I had pre arranged and paid for late check out (3pm), but when we got back to our room at midday found we were locked out. We did get let back out reasonably quickly (about 10mins) after having to ring someone, but this left us running for the bus. We were told you get checked out at 11am automatically, when I said I had paid for late check out I was told there must be a glitch. We also had the cleaner walk into the apartment as we were finishing getting out things together to leave, again saying we should have checked out. This was a rather frustrating end to the holiday. Having paid an extra 50CHF I don’t expect to get locked out, and have people walking in on me. In all, I have mixed feelings. The well equipped kitchen and central location are great, but the noise was a big downside for us

Tolle Zimmer mit top ausgestatteter Küche, sehr bequeme Betten und angenehme Duvets. Und mit der Lage mitten im Dorf einfach perfekt. Ein paar gingen Skifahren, andere Laufen, für alle gibt es in der Nähe tolle Möglichkeiten. Wir kommen wieder.
