We visited Gstaad and stayed at Hotel Bellerive Gstaad | Bellerivestrasse | CH-3780 Gstaad on a weekend in February 2017.||||It was a spontaneous visit and we checked over booking.com and found this hotel, one of the only ones free in Gstaad on this particular weekend.||||We booked it and got the room. After that we went to the various sites and found to our surprise that the hotel had poor reviews on various sites.||||Some of the reviews were mixed and said it was good, and some others that it was not a good hotel. We said we have to wait that chance favours us and that we have a good experience as the reservation could not be cancelled.||||When we finally arrived in Gstaad and the hotel, and after our stay there, we are fully happy and satisfied.||||We were greeted very professionally and sweetly, by a young lady who was kind and gentle and handled our check in very well. The room itself was wonderful, big and very well equipped. Nice toilet too with an excellent powerful shower.||||That night we ate at the hotel, and the rustic restaurant and lounge area was extremely nice. The food was the highlight though, we had the Rösti and it was incredible. Some of the best we have had.||||Gstaad is a wonderful place and somehow being in the mountains and in this lovely place really rejuvenated us.||||The hotel is a bit out of the main town, but its walkable (15 minutes), has a normal bus connection (Bus 180 - 5 minutes walking) and the Skibus stops right outside the hotel and was free as well - (No walking needed). So really excellent connections to the town. The taxi charges 12 CHF from the train station to the Hotel and the taxis have Fixed tariff rates, and no meters in Gstaad.||||The hotel is close to a stream and a bridge and also when you walk 5 minutes you come to some stables and a horse riding center. Excellent for some fun with kids.||Breakfast is nice and wholesome and adequate. A treat.||||So overall we were very happy with our choice at the end, do not be scared by the poor reviews, do try out this little gem. It may make your holiday very pleasant. We were optimistic and were rewarded by a very nice experience and got to meet some really nice people working at the hotel.
