Inexpensive alpine option for Switzerland
Very friendly owner. It was a busy day at the Gasthaus due to a regional cycling event. Service was a bit held up as a result. Meal and breakfast were very good, room was small but comfortable - a little too hot with the window closed, a little too cool if open. Bathrooms well equipped.

A real Alpine retreat run by two lovely people
Really lovely and homely welcome to a family run house with some delicious eating and relaxing in a beautiful Alpine landscape. The magic was in the attention to detail and the little and welcome surprises that appeared throughout our stay. To tell you about them would be to spoil the surprise. Go and find out for yourself. You will find yourself returning for a second stay! Families of ALL ages will enjoy this stay.

My favourite place to stay in many years!
This proved to be a great base from which to do some motorcycle touring around the Alps with my son and I'm so glad we stayed for 3 nights here instead of moving around to different places. Sandra and Roli were great hosts and gave us a very warm welcome and took great care of us. Our twin room was basic but very comfortable and prepared to a high standard. Everything exceeded our expectations and a 2 star rating for this place is misleadingly low for the standard of everything we experienced. The restraurant serves great food - locally produced tradition Swiss fare which was the best food we had on our 5 days of touring the country (try the capuns!). There is a sauna and 'hotpot' available (an outdoor hot tub filled with Swiss mountain water and heated by a wood burning stove) and I recommend this as a great experience for an evening with your travelling companion(s) to enjoy together as you take in the stunning views of the surrounding mountains. As it takes 5 hours to heat up this needs to be arranged in advance if you are only staying for one night. I travel a lot and this has been my favourite place to stay for many years. My advice is to use this wonderful place in the Alps as a base rather than a one night stop over!

Alpina guesthouse
Initial check in was not good as we were lectured (there is no other word for it) on checking into hotels and guesthouses ( I have to say at this point that all we are very experienced travellers), how ever things went quickly downhill when we found that the room had bunk beds and was not en suite. However, things took an upturn as the room proved to be acceptable and the amount of showers and toilets proved to be adequate (mostly) the setting is outstanding and the walking is wonderful. The evening meal was OK.

It's all about what you're looking for
The previous reviewer's description of the hotel's style, layout and isolation is accurate, but I loved it. To me, the hotel felt very familial - you wear slippers around the building, most of the lodgers dine in the restaurant, and the owners treat you as a guest in their home, rather than just a reservation number. Also, the owners have chickens and lamas that wander around the grounds outside of the hotel during the day, adding to the down-home experience. They also have a hot tub and (I think) a sauna - though they cost extra. If you just want to relax, meet interesting people and eat good, home-cooked food for a couple of days (or just for an evening) then this is the place to do it.

Review
Actually, this shouldn't be called a hotel or even a motel. It's more of a guest house. You have to take off your shoes while you are inside the house. The rooms have no television or telephone. Even worse, all guests have to share the same bathroom. I am a woman, and when I was using the bathroom two male guests pushed open door in because there is no lock on the door. This really scared me a lot. Third, at night, two guests went outside to smoke and I could hear everything that they were talking about. Fourth, my room was in the first floor and early in the morning when I was sleeping someone on the second floor woke me up by walking back and forth. I could even could hear the noise of their suitcase zipper being zipped.. Additionally, because you are so far from town you are forced to eat at the hotel, which didn't have many choices that I liked. My husband and I travel a lot and we have spent time in many hotels and motels but I have never seen any hotel like this one even though the price is just the same as other hotels during our trip in Europe. Because of the mentioned issues I think that the price should be cheaper. This trip taught me a lesson that from now on if we take a trip we won’t make any hotel reservations because if the condition of the hotel is like this one we won't have to stay there or have to pay that price. Instead, we will just look for hotels while we travel because there are many different hotels and we can find one we like along the way. In this way we will have more choices.

Fantastiske omgivelser og en perfekt vært
Vi ankom i mindre godt vejr, og så lidt før vi reelt kunne tjekke ind. Værten tog det med et stort smil og bød os indenfor. Udsigten alene er alle 5 stjerner værd, men værtskabet, den gode mad og hotellet følger helt perfekt med. Vi brugte det til en enkelt overnatning, men ville gerne have været der længere. Tak for et godt ophold, jeg er sikker på at vi kommer tilbage.

Kleines Gasthaus mit Alphütten-Charme
Wenn man in einem unkomplizierten, mit viel Engagement, Kreativität und Herzblut geführten kleinen Gasthaus übernachten möchte, fühlt man sich in dieser Unterkunft vollkommen wohl. Schöner Ausgangspunkt für Skifahren und Wandern. Frühstück und Nachtessen sind der Hammer - grosse Klasse! Aus meiner Sicht das einzige Handicap, sind die engen sanitären Einrichtungen, welche gemeinschaftlich genutzt werden - dafür garantiert authentisches Alphütten-Feeling.

Das perfekte Haus für Gäste, die den Mix aus Hüttenzauber (Etagen–WC/Douche )und Wohlfühl Oase lieben. Wir trafen auf erfrischende Herzlichkeit der Gastgeber und gut geheizte Stuben an einem verschneiten Winterwochenende. Uns gefiel die stilvolle Einrichtung (Holzromantik mit modernen Akzenten). Dem aufmerksamen Gast wird nicht entgehen, dass hier jemand ein Auge fürs (Deko)-Detail hat. Der Frühstücksraum: Warme Wohlfühlstube zum Sitzenbleiben... Das Frühstück: Lecker und 1a präsentiert. Insgesamt eiziger Nachteil: Dünne Wände zwischen den Schlafstuben (Ringhörig!) Aber definitiv eine Adresse, die wir uns merken werden.

Heaven on earth
We stayed in Gasthaus Alpina for one night on our road trip and it was a huge mistake: we should have stayed longer! Fabulous place, spectacular view, cosy and clean guesthouse, but above all was the level of service. We arrived late, but it was no problem for the staff. Sandra was ready to welcome us half an hour after the latest check-in time, and even served us a small meal. She made the stay probably the best ever. I can say that although I left Tschappina, my heart is still there. Our room was quite small and it didn't have bathroom or toilet, but we were aware of that and it didn't bother us. There was only one person besides us staying in the hotel, so the bathrooms were available, when we needed them. It was very peaceful and quiet and we slept like babies. The weather was very warm, but it was still well tolerable in the room. Everything was clean and like we were told, the house felt like home. Food and breakfast were great, and we loved the fact that eggs, cheese etc. came from their own farm. I really wish that I have a chance to come back some day. And when I do, I promise I will stay more than one night.
