Hotel Alex — Hotel in Leukerbad

Really pleasant surprise. Homely as you get into the reception. The signs are all generally in French and German (I think, I'm basically illiterate here) but the lady there spoke English enough for us to communicate. Very friendly. Incredibly helpful.

The decor is definitely from an older generation, but it felt like a lot of love had been put into it (and there might be a little surprise that gave my friend and I a really good laugh). The bathroom and bedroom were spotless. The towels smelled a little floral without being overbearing. I slept great.

We were tired when we got in and it was really nice to find there was a series of (European, so no bathing suits) sauna rooms downstairs (open from 16:30 to 19:00). For how homely it looks up top, the Grecian motifs of the wellness area took me aback. When we were there, they were renovating the foot pools, I think, and one of the sauna rooms were not in operation. They had a 55°C lemongrass room, a 45°C menthol steam room and a 85°C sauna room nonetheless. The jacuzzi hot tubs were 5 CHF per a set amount of time (I forgot how long) with a limit of 2 people per tub. They also had a really nice set of resting recliners where the upper floor had a view of the sky, which probably would've been really nice if it was cloudy when we were there.

Breakfast was a buffet including cured/cold meats, various types of bread, raw eggs to boil yourself along with whatever seasoning you want on it, honeys, jams, cereal of various types, juices, the hot drinks machine, fruits, muesli, yoghurt. I don't think I listed everything. Good variety, works for breakfast, as a Brit, still kinda missed my bacon, hash browns and baked beans, but hey, I was staying in a remote mountain town, so it was hardly...

We choosed Hotel Alex for a short stay of two days as it looked decent and the prices where among the lowest ones. And we wanted to try the funny private Alex express funicular also :) It appeared that this wonderful hotel had a lot to offer. We where surprised how friendly was the reception, how clean was the hotel in general, and how beautiful and tasteful was the wellness oasis inside the hotel. And the Alex express was up to our expectations: convenient and funny! We also saw quite rooms to read, other rooms with a lot of games, places to store bicycles, ski, snowboards, to heat shows, etc. The breakfast was generous and served in a nice looking dining room. Overall, we where really happy with this stay and would recommend this hotel to anybody, as it has one of the highest price-quality ratio we ever saw. Have...
