    A delightful stay in the Swiss Alps!
    • Leisure trip

    • Junior Suite
    • Stayed 4 nights

    There's no thermostats in the rooms - it's all central heating. It was quite hot at night, especially with the down comforters. We needed to keep the windows open at night - which caused us to wake up frequently when large trucks would drive by on the street, especially after 5am. When the windows were closed, though, everything was nice and silent. The wifi was good, and we were able to relax to a show before bed on a tablet, but there was no way to do anything with the TVs in the room. The system they have does not allow casting or screen mirroring, nor does it allow any apps such as Netflix, Disney, etc. As tourists who speak English, we didn't really watch any of the mainly Swiss German channels that were available through the TV. I'd recommend bringing a Chromecast or something that'll allow you to use your own apps or cast to the screen.

    The view is unmatched. We had an upper floor corner view room and despite it being rainy for a few days, our view was spectacular. Breakfast was good with fresh breads/croissants, meats/cheeses, hard/soft boiled eggs, juices, fruits, yogurts, jellies, cereals, and more. Coffee and tea was also served. The property was very cute and had an authentic Swiss Alpine feel. The location was perfect, in short walking distance to everything including Grindelwald Terminal. There was no charge for parking. There's a game room on the bottom floor with books, games, billiards, a card table, and more. Perfect for a rainy day/night. The staff and the owners at the front desk were delightful and very helpful and accommodating.

    View was great, location was close to town. Owners were super helpful. They gave us great advice on hikes to do and even printed tickets for the train and the tram for us. Breakfast was delicious. We ate two dinners there and they were also very good.

    Our room was a little warm and the only way to cool it off was to open a window. Also there was a step down in the Junior suite room that we needed to be careful of.

    Great location, amazing view from our room and balcony- exceptional staff !!

    It would have been nice to have a hot option for breakfast, but this was by no means a deal-breaker - what was offered for breakfast was very tasty and the breakfast room was gorgeous and cosy.

    The room was exceptional and the staff were so warm and accommodating! Fabulous location at the quieter end of town which was so peaceful but everything was still incredibly accessible (we were only a 5 minute walk to the First cable car). We wish we had booked a longer stay!

    Located on the edge of town away from the noise, with fantastic views all around. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had the 4 course evening meal on 3 of our 4 nights there, and all were very tasty.

    The waitresses were a bit "lost", and noone could make the drink we ordered from the menü. We were very excited about the dinner because it sounded so good on paper, it turned out okay.

    The outside of the hotel is actually even more beautiful than in the picture! The room was nice, clean, and the bed was comfy. The staff was kind and helpful with our requests. Our favourite thing was the AMAZING view of the glacier from our (shared) terrace!

    The pillows were not good

    Absolutely wonderful stay. Loved the alpine feel. The owners were very attentive to our questions. Very clean. Nice breakfast with a good variety of choices. The fixed dinner was not our style but was good. The location was perfect and the view from our room was perfect. Could relax on the hotel front porch with a aperitif and relax. Would definitely recommend.

    My bedroom smelt very strongly of fresh wood, which kept making me sneeze in the night! And the rooms were very expensive compared to other areas of Switzerland (I am guessing this might just be the way in Grindelwald) Otherwise comfortable and very quiet.

    Lovely view, friendly staff and great feel to the hotel. The set menu was delicious and they were good at catering for me, as someone who is lactose and gluten intolerant
