Familienferien im Chalet Bärgli Kandersteg

Location fantastic easy parking, great access to the area. Big appartment.

We arrived late and it was hard to find the keys in the dark. The floors were incredibly creaky from upstairs, you're in a basement and it feels like it! By no means our first visit to Switzerland but none the less everything is still incredibly expensive comparatively even to France and Italy either side.

Apartment was well located in a peaceful place with good access to everything required. Modern well equipped kitchen. Comfortable living area.

Ground floor means just below street level, with net curtains could be a little dark inside.

Very beautiful chalet with great equipment, strategic location.

 Great location, clean and comfortable. Everything needs it was on site.

We knew it was a basement area converted into an apartment space and were pleasantly surprised to see how efficiently it was planned. We didn't expect any view from the window. We were aware this didn't come with a balcony or external sitting area. It is a basement afterall . So no heartbreaks there. The rooms are big , well maintained and clean. The kitchen is huge for a holiday apartment. The location is prime. Absolutely center of the town besides the church. The check-in and check out is hassle free as well.

It is a chalet and thus some creaking is unavoidable. But every time the guests returned to the floors above , we knew cos it creaked and how! Sometimes that was 10 pm or later even. Not advisable for light sleepers and more so for little children. Can be a little unnerving as it seems like a person walking in your own apartment. The beds are definitely a bit too hard. ( I thought the other reviewers were exaggerating. But it is true. Took us a couple of nights to adjust. And then it wasn't a problem anymore) On the last full day of our stay , we decided to have a late start at about 11.00 am. As we were getting ready around 10.15 am( with no one in the bathroom ) there came a loud gurgling noise through the bathroom drainage pipes. We thought it was funny until it was too stinky to stay indoors , because the ventilation was crap. There was this horrible sulfuric stench that filled the whole apartment. That is when you feel that this is really the basement you are paying your money for. I don't know if it is a daily occurrence around that time or if we were just really unlucky to experience the odour. And so I am not taking off too many points off the rating as a benefit of the doubt. I would definitely choose the other floors over the basement if we choose to holiday in Kandersteg again.

The apartment is spacious. The kitchen is big enough for more than one person to cook at a time. It's great to have a large entry hall for boots and packs. The location is great--just a couple minutes walk from the train station. Kandersteg is beautiful. There is a great view out every window.

The floors are old and creaky so you can hear the upstairs neighbors walking around and we were probably disturbing the downstairs neighbors.
