Everything was nice about this hotel. It had great views, it was clean, the rooms were spacious. The only issue we had was that they were very stingy with ice. We asked for ice so that we could cool some white wine. She would only give us a small glass of ice. It made us feel like we were not the priority since she said that she needs to have plenty for dinner paying customers. We spend a lot on the room itself. It just rubbed us the wrong way. He did suggest a great hike and gave us First tickets which was very convenient. Breakfast was great.

This was everything we had hoped for and more! We booked a superior double room. It was spacious and had two large single beds pushed together. Our room had chairs for seating and the bathroom was big enough with updated facilities. The shower was also nicely sized (vs the standard ‘cruise ship’ style tubes usually found in Europe). There was a large balcony with two seats and a table. Absolute win. Did our room happen to be lucky enough to have a view of mountains? No, but I do believe that was an upgraded pricier option. Fair enough. A huge win for us was the laundry facilities. There was a full size washer and dryer!! You will need Franc coins for this and those can be obtained from the front desk. Every person who served at the desk here was so incredibly pleasant and helpful. We purchased lift tickets here and also received good advice for hiking. The breakfast here was outstanding and we took advantage both mornings of our stay. The young ladies working here were so nice. There was standard ‘continental breakfast’ foods and they served coffee/cappuccino. The views from the sunroom where we ate were breathtaking. A final perk was the location. The hotel was about 20 steps beyond the restaurants and busy section of Grindewald. We easily walked to town to enjoy dinner and reached the cable car to Grindewald First in 5 minutes. Do I wish this location had ac? Yes. But would it stop me from recommending or returning? Absolutely not. I would return in a heartbeat.

It was a near perfect location for our five person Family. I preferred this location because it’s quieter, and it would be impossible to find a better view than the one from our hotel balcony. Recently remodeled room was the size of a small apartment with a massive wrap around balcony. We are definitely coming back and we found the staff to be very gracious and welcoming.

Such a treasure in Grindelwald. My wife and I loved this quaint hotel. Doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles like a 5 star resort (no pool, no ice machine, no fridge but they have a wonderful breakfast in the most beautiful setting & the room we stayed in (34) was perfect for us. The staff was so warm and helpful and we just loved the history and the fresh flowers adorning the outside of the hotel. We experienced ZERO issues and the hotel head would get us ice on request (Americans love their ice) ;)

We stayed near the end of September. Since there is no A/C (which we knew in advance), we opened the windows. Unfortunately, this allows mosquitoes and flies in the room. The breakfast, while nice, was the same as any other continental breakfast we had in Switzerland. The bathroom had been nicely remodeled but the rest of the room was very tired and in need of refurbishment. The location was excellent, clean, easy to get a bus into town or train station and very quiet. The view from the dining area was spectacular. Even the back of the hotel (not toward the mountains) where our room was located was very pleasant. Unlike every other place we stayed in Switzerland, the room was not equipped with a mini-fridge.

a beautiful stay in Grindelwald

We enjoyed our stay very much. The room was charming and very clean with a balcony looking toward the beautiful Alps!! We were welcomed by the owners and provided with helpful tips on how to experience the Alps from Grindlewald. We ate a dinner and a breakfast at the hotel with excellent service and very nice menu choices. Parking was also available, free, and convenient.

Old world charm. Very good condition. Delicious breakfasts. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We did visit at a time when the weather was much hotter than usual and there was no A/C. Which made for uncomfortable nights, but the whole town had the same problem. We would stay here again.
