    Pros +

    • The view was fantastic and we loved having a balcony to sit out at night in the cool air and look out over the mountains and country side. Breakfast was incredible, served on linen table cloths with china tea and coffer cups and tea and coffee and milk served in individual silver servings. The ladies who served breakfast were so kind and professional.
    • All in this hotel was great; The room was comfy with a great view, cleanliness. But overall, the staff and owners! they make a huge difference, They help and procure tickets to 2 different visit areas we went.Service, breakfast and lounge at fireplace were great! We really loved staying there and would have loved to stayed at least 2 more nights.
    • 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.

    Cons -

    • The only downside is that there were many flies at breakfast due to the fact that the doors were left open to bring in the cool mountain air.
    • 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.
    • 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.

    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.

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

    Really beautiful hotel and room with a private balcony. Vining geraniums in window boxes everywhere. Beautiful sitting rooms and front porch.

    The property is quite expensive, worked out to about $433 US $ for 1 night.

    10AbdulazizPosted on: 7-13-2025

    Everything was perfect the room the view and the location. Special thanks to Eva, Edith, and Matthias who made our stay unforgettable.

    10BethPosted on: 6-28-2025

    The rooms are wonderful and roomy with a amazing view of the green mountains

    Would love to have had a fan in the room

    10JimiPosted on: 6-23-2025

    Location!!! Elevator!

    No Air conditioning

    10GregPosted on: 6-15-2025

    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.

    The pillows were not good

    10שיריPosted on: 6-3-2025

    Wow! Perfect location. Perfect view. Spacious room. Extremely helpful staff. Overall fantastic experience. Rich delicious breakfast.

    The floor makes noises when people step on it above you. No fridge.

    10Kevin K.Posted on: 5-29-2025

    Staff provided exceptional service and very polite. The owners and front desk were very helpful, you just need to ask.

    10DeanPosted on: 3-22-2025

    Very helpful with getting around town. The view from the balcony was stunning. Have coin operated washer/dryer. Staff was great. Much storage space for clothes and luggage. Could print tickets to the Jungfraujoch at the front desk.

    Shower was tight and it was disconcertingly easy to knock the shower door off the track. A refrigerator would h ave been helpful - I’m diabetic and had to make other plans for keeping my insulin cool.

    8TizanaPosted on: 2-24-2025

    Very silent room, room view was really nice, dinner and breakfast were really good and very attent to detail.Check-in very fast, and thanks a lot for keeping our bags after check-out; this was a great help.Bus stop in front of hotel in both directions, so very easy to arrive from main station.

    The staff were all delightful - we had a wonderful stay. The food at the hotel itself was fantastic, as was the nearby Fiescherblick, the best meal we had in Switzerland. Highly recommended

    10CaseyPosted on: 10-27-2024

    Such a beautiful stay with rustic charm right in the heart of Grindelwald! Thank you to the super lovely staff who were very accomodating, even checking in on us the day we arrived in Grindelwald and offering us a lift from the station to the hotel was greatly appreciated!! To wake up to the incredible views of the mountains from right outside our room balcony was surreal! ?

    9RebekahPosted on: 10-3-2024

    Great location. Lovely staff and very helpful staff . Great charm of a traditional Swiss hotel. The breakfast was also nice.

    Rooms are small which is to be expected in this style hotel. We slept with the window open but a fan to help with air circulation would have been a great bonus.

    10DanielPosted on: 9-27-2024

    We loved this hotel. The owners were so accommodating and welcoming. They were also so helpful with booking tickets for the local trains and trams - unless you already know what you are doing it’s so much easier having them book tickets for you and it’s either the same price or cheaper. Our room was beautifully updated and had a gorgeous view of the mountains. They serve an excellent breakfast. We will definitely stay here on our next trip!

    10AudreyPosted on: 9-26-2024

    Beautiful, traditional building in a wonderful quiet location with views to die for!! Town within walking distance. The family that run the hotel and all staff are so friendly and helpful. The owner even helped me track down a real cow bell to purchase!!❤️
