"Great central location, bed was super soft. Loved the modern updates while also keeping the Swiss chalet touches. Breakfast was wonderful with a mix of fresh made bread, yogurts, fruits, meats and cheeses. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever lucky enough to come to Grindewald again."

"Unfortunately, this hotel felt cheap and outdated despite the price charged.
Yes, the location is excellent, right in Grindelwald and close to the train station, and the mountain view from the balcony is beautiful. However, compared to other older hotels we stayed at in Zermatt and Pontresina, this hotel fell far short of expectations.
The walls are paper thin — you can hear your neighbours very clearly. The room is extremely small and not particularly functional. The bathroom and shower are so tiny that they are difficult to use comfortably.
Overall, everything feels low quality, from the artificial plastic flowers in the reception area to many aspects of the room itself.
As we were dissatisfied, we inquired about shortening our stay and receiving a partial refund for one or two nights. The receptionist was kind and offered to discuss the matter with the manager, but our request was ultimately refused without much explanation or flexibility.
While the location and view are definite positives, the overall experience did not meet our expectations for the price paid."
"Amazing views from the room. Pool was under construction but looks like it will be very nice once re-opened. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful and we enjoyed food and drinks in the bar during the evenings. Highly recommend."
"Excellent stay from start to finish. The location is perfect, especially for exploring Grindelwald and the surrounding mountain areas. The breakfast was outstanding with plenty of options, and all the common areas were spacious, spotless, and very well maintained.
What stood out most was how much thought had clearly gone into guest comfort. Everything felt welcoming, organized, and designed to make guests feel relaxed and cared for. We genuinely felt well looked after during our stay.
One of the few hotels where I felt every dollar was well spent. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Grindelwald."
"One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist. We truly enjoyed our stay, especially the complimentary breakfast, which was a wonderful addition to the experience. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. Everything exceeded our expectations, making our stay both relaxing and memorable. We look forward to returning and staying here again in the future. Highly recommended!"
"The hotel staff were very friendly. Our room was on the 4th floor. It was large with two rooms, a table and four chairs. Tv in each room . The room was clean and tidy. There were two doors out onto the balcony which has most beautiful Mountain View. There was plenty of choice for breakfast. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel, the location was slightly uphill and close to the shops, restaurants and only a short walk to the train station. The views were amazing and we would come back if we came to Grindelwald again."
