    Rooms roadside are noisier and booking.com didn’t pass the twin room reservation. But the lady at reception went out of her way to solve the issue.

    Lovely hotel, efficient and nice staff. Superb restaurant both dinner and breakfast.

    No kettle or mini fridge in the room. Rooms overlooking street may be too loud in the morning, if you are light sleeper.

    Room is very clean, bathroom is comfortable. Amazing little pillows, overall, bedding is great. Great restaurant. Located near train station.

    Nothing. Just the particular room we had. Other side of building would have e made all the difference

    Property was great. We just happened to get a poorly located room on the street side over the kitchen. Traffic noise disruptive.

    I wasn't a big fan of the breakfast. It was Ok, but I'm more of a english breakfast kind of guy. No bacon in this place.

    No dislikes

    Breakfast was continental but extensive and really good quality. Situated high in the mountains just north of Gstaad it’s a perfect location for hiking and the signage in Switzerland is excellent. Also the Schonried ‘Golden Pass’ railway station is just a couple of minutes away from the hotels front door. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and pleasant.

    Better that Gstaad - magical Swiss location!

    Room was above the kitchen and sometimes could hear the pans banging late in the night.

    Schonried is a magical village, with chalets perched on top of the other as they climb up the hill. The hotel is nicely placed in the centre of the village, with free parking and walking distance to Horneggli ski lift. The architecture is typical Swiss chalet, simple but warm and elegant. The restaurant is excellent - we had breakfast every morning (varied and with great choices, friendly staff catering for all your whims), and dinner twice - high class food accompanied by Swiss wines and marvelous deserts. Sannen and Gstaad are not that far and are also beautiful to visit and mingle with locals and tourists (and you get a chance to see some celebrities, like we saw JC Van Damme :)

    There wasn't a fridge in my room - however didnt really matter as I was able to keep anything cold by putting on the windowsill outside to keep cold!

    I loved my stay at Hotel Kernen ! Close to railway station & walking distance to ski field. Very welcoming hotel & staff were amazing - Bruno the owner made a huge effort with his guests & is a lovely person. Meals in the restaurant were divine . Highly recommend to stay here rather than in Gstaad town centre.

    Breakfast is great! The hotel is very conveniently located to the ski lift. You can walk with ski boots, no need to worry about the distance. There are also two ski stores which can rent ski/snowboard. Bruno Kernen is the best hotel owner I have met so far.

    Honestly I have nothing bad to say I just had a great stay

    Location is great next to train station but not noisy. Had an incredible stay at the Kernen hotel! The owner and entire staff were simply brilliant, from the attentive housekeepers to every member of the team. The service was exceptional, and the location added to the overall charm. Highly recommend this place for a delightful experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️

    It was fairly expensive but we did travel at a busy time of year (Christmas time)

    Beautiful property with great views and excellent location. Breakfast was for a good length of time and a wide variety of food. We ate in the restaurant a few times and enjoyed the meals each time. Staff were very hospitable and welcoming. Went out of their way to help us with activities and bookings.

    The big pillow not really guarantees a good night. It looks nice, but too high/tall ..Maybe a second more compfy pillow would be good?

    The hotel is very well maintained and managed! Totally renovated and beautiful located in the Gstaad area. Parking for free. Opposite the train station of Schönried. The breakfast is absolutely good and some 5 star hotels can’t compete with!

    The evening meal was either a fixed menu with options or a la carte. The former was too much food for me and quite costly at CHF 50 but a single course a la care could be over CHF 40 - so I ended up eating dinner elsewhere

    Room was great - nice welcome - great service - free parking and good wifi
