Huus Gstaad talks a big game and it made us excited to stay for three nights for months. Free daily activities? A game room? Bikes? There was so much to look forward to. Did it live up to the hype? Kind of.
Upon check in, we were informed that there's one free activity included a day that's decided beforehand. You must sign up the day prior by 15.00. Checking in around 16.00 on Monday and leaving Tuesday, we could only sign up for a Wednesday activity.
The hotel itself is large with a lobby, bar, overpriced restaurants, a game area, kids stations, a spa, pool, and other activities.
The winning elements of the trip were the free mountain bike rentals, the pool, spa area, and views. Breakfast included is really good and plenty of options, including gluten free options.
The rooms were nice with closet space, a balcony, drinking water, etc.
A few things to note:
1) There's no AC and the rooms get hot. There's also only a heavy blanket on the bed and no sheets to use as a cover.
2) The game room is in disrepair with half of the games not working it in poor condition.
3) Staff aren't very friendly. They are helpful just cold. read more
