Alpenlodge Kühboden — Restaurant in Fiesch

My husband, daughter, and I stayed at Alpenlodge Kühboden in mid-July. I would highly recommend it as a comfortable place for couples or families. It's not fancy but very nice.||||We were pleasantly surprised that the entry is literally at the footstep of the gondola, making travel with luggage easier. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. We had a three-bed room that has wonderful down blankets and pillows. Very warm and cozy. The room has many windows and large closets. There was also a semi-shared living room area outside our room with TV, books, games, tables and chairs that was very convenient as well. ||||We had a very nice dinner that evening that was a set menu, and a very good value - especially for Switzerland! Also a very nice view towards the Fiesch valley. The dining room and bar area are quite nice and cozy whether you are a large group, couple, or family. The included breakfast was basic but perfectly sufficient. The place was spotless and staff very warm, friendly, and helpful. ||||We were also very happy to have a secure room available for storage of our mountain bikes, as well as accommodation for flexibility of check-out time the next day so we could shower. The terrace is also quite nice and had a trampoline and sandbox that kept our munchkin busy.||||The only downside, is that being located in/adjacent to the gondola (telekabin), the running of the cables can be heard. Not loudly or for long periods, but it is audible. Fortunately, the cables do not run late at night, and don't start until 7:30. It wasn't a problem for my daughter and husband to sleep very well that night and late into...

Alpenlodge Kühboden is a hotel and restaurant/lounge as well.||I'm just here to review restaurant/lounge staff.||||On October 21 2017, 5 friends and I went for a quick beer while waiting for the cable car that would take us to Fiesch.||On our arrival, we sat down and waited for the waitress. One of us asked for a beer, while the others were still not sure what to have and didn't order anything for the moment. Most likely most of us would get something to drink. Anyways, after having said that for the moment we were ordering only 1 beer, the waitress, who was not that polite, said that we could not just order 1 beer in a table of six. Furthermore, she even said that there's a rule in Switzerland that states you cannot do this. Of course that this is rubbish and I even asked her to show me. We all know what happened, nothing. She said she wouldn't take our request and that the space, electricity and staff had to be paid. Well, the entire room, which is quite large, was completely empty, being us the only ones there. Irony or not, this waitress and staff were so in need of money that she would rather have an empty room than six people contributing to the atmosphere and consume more later.||||All in all, this just sums an awful service and attitude towards the clients of this space, who will never step foot, nor recommend this place in such need of money. Well, an empty restaurant really tells the quality of the service, right?||||Never in my life a situation like this happened to me...
