Landgasthof Ruedihus

We had a wonderful stay at Ruedihuus, the hotel and the room were extremely cozy - lovers of antiques will be amazed! The staff was extremely friendly, there‘s a rich breakfast buffet and you can get traditional food for dinner (raclette, fondue, rösti). in winter there‘s not too much sun where the hotel is located but instead you‘re a bit off the center where it‘s wonderfully quiet. big plus: shuttle service from the train station if you arrive by train.

This Historic Hotel is beautifully set in a gorgeous landscape surrounded by mountains. The facade is intricately decorated with paintings and unique bottle glass windows. The food served is very Swiss - lots of cheese & meat. Worth trying their barley soup, fondue or raclette,& their house dessert “Vacherin”. Ambiance is warm & cozy especially at winter time. Service though was a bit slow but it’s a place where you are not pressed for time.

Cannot speak to the hotel experience as we only stopped in for dinner. In comparison to other restaurants in Kandersteg this one provided the most food and quality. The sausage, onion gravy and rosti were delicious. My wife had the chicken breast and a friend had the steak and said it was excellent as well.

Good location and authentic. Access to the spa and sauna at the hotel across the road was key for us. Not many people stayed in our building and the breakfast was a bit lacking.

Our party of 8 greatly enjoyed staying here as our first and last night 'base'. Charming historic accommodation on the edge of the village in a very scenic rural site. It is like being on a film set for Snow White (in a good way – rustic but not kitsch).||The kind of dinner you need if you have been hiking all day served in a convivial dining Stube.||If you want something that exudes historic charm and rusticity, this is for you.

I had hoped to not post this, but the attitude of the owners has given me no choice. I do not like conflict, and I hate to post reviews like this. I had made a reservation and was very excited to come stay at this guesthouse (it is in an amazing location, obviously).||||About 3 weeks before my planned stay I was told by my doctor that I would need surgery and that the only time he could do the surgery was in the middle of my planned vacation to the Landgasthof Ruedihus. I immediately contacted the property to let them know of this change and that I would need to cancel my reservation. Again, this was 3 weeks before my planned stay. They would have had more than enough time to have someone else book the room that I had reserved. They flat out refused my cancellation request, saying that I would be required to pay the full amount as I had agreed in my initial reservation. No room for negotiation, no empathy, just a “nope, sorry about your situation, better luck next time.”||||I fully understand charging the full amount when a person cancels on the day they were supposed to arrive (as the property would have no time to allow someone else to book the reserved room), but this notice was provided 3 weeks in advance. Most hotels and guest houses that have ethical owners would have no issue not charging, thus I was taken aback by their rude and unprofessional approach to my very reasonable medical cancellation.||||It is clear that the owners of this property do not care about the medical wellbeing of their potential clients. As they do not care about the wellbeing of their customers, I would highly recommend not staying here, regardless of how beautiful the scenery around the location is. Unprofessional property owners like this give other owners a bad name. It’s very unfortunate and surprising to be treated this way.||||I highly recommend steering well clear of this location. My family and I are deeply hurt by this whole experience. Find some alternative lodging where the owners have a reasonable outlook and will not force you to pay them for cancelling nearly a month in advance if a medical emergency comes up.

We stayed here and ate here. The hotel building itself is beautiful and charming, with inscriptions carved into the face, and a well manicured herb garden in front. The restaurant is in an intimate tavern-like setting and it’s so charming! Food was so hearty and delicious. The rooms are bright and airy, and quite well renovated. Slept so well. It’s in the most romantic setting with a view of mountains and waterfall in the background. Staff were professional and friendly. Overall highly recommend.

Review for the restaurant only We had a nice dinner experience, very authentic chalet restaurant, good food but quite salty for our taste ( I believe it’s a German cultural thing - to add lots of salt in the food)
