It was one of the best hotel experiences of my whole life. Yes, this is a hotel located 2,200 meters above sea level, but the quality of the services is on another level, and I feel that I am in a good 3-star hotel. The staff is so friendly and makes every effort to help everyone feel at home. The dinner menu was so tasty and it was the perfect choice for the end of the evening. The breakfast was excellent and delicious. The Berggasthaus First was my complete dream of sleeping in a wonderful place in the Alps. Also, the property is incredibly clean and comfortable to stay. It was a quiet place at night, and we slept like "babies". Everything was perfect, and the communication with Yanis and Julien was a gift from God. There are so many funny stories and positive vibes. I won't forget that, and if I visit the Grindelwald area again, it's a must for me to return to Berggasthaus First. Best Regards

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly in terms of storing luggage. The breakfast buffets was also fantastic as well as the location of the lodge (right in the centre of Grindelwald with great views).

The room is average but the location is great. If they give you the better rooms, it will have a view as well.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Henryk is a very welcoming host. The dormitory was really clean, and it is a great place to stay 15mins away from the city centre which makes the position of the hostel perfect - at a walkable distance from the centre, and at a quiet neighbourhood.

    Great views. Can even eat outside on the balcony overlooking the snowy peaks. Lots of opportunities to mingle and chat with other guests. Away from the hustle-bustle of the town, but still within walking distance. I only booked here because the Interlaken Youth Hostel was booked, but I'm so glad it was, as this was a much nicer place.

    So zen, comforting and cozy with panoramic views of the mountains. I am a girl traveling alone and it was the perfect safe stopover for me after a 14 mile hike. Staff was so friendly and helpful. It felt like they really wanted you there and cared about your stay. Hostel was clean and very comfortable. Hostel is about a 10 minute walk outside of Grindelwalds main strip, which gives it the calming charm I was in desperate need of. Breakfast was delicious too, prepared me for another long hike the next day.

    Amazing views from the hostel. Breakfast was very enjoyable. I felt safe and slept reasonably well. I was surprised how diverse the age groups were of the other holiday makers.

    Breakfast was delicious and had a great selection (and vegan/vegetarian options too). The staff were incredible helpful, and gave us great suggestions for hikes to do. The room was comfy and the hostel was quiet. The location was great as the bus stop was just outside and we were right next to the train station, which was convenient. The lodge’s restaurant was also good for a quick cheap eat. Also seemed to have lots of communal areas, pool table, etc if you wanted things to do.
