Super clean and efficient. Fair warning its a little hike straight uphill from the train station unless you grab a bus or taxi. This was a great warm up in the mornings, not so pleasant in the evenings after hiking all day and the buses stop early to this point. We stayed in the new building in a family room with 2 sets of bunks and everything was super clean with a great mountain view. Downside was minimal airflow and no fans. You will have to rent towels for 12chf and a 40chf deposit if you don't have your own. You will also need coins if you want to use the laundry or want to lock the lockers. Breakfast was great and they do have dinner options though we ate in town.

The staff & owner were friendly & helpful. The showers were amazing - some of the best I ever had. It was nice to have a sink in the roll & I liked that both the bathrooms and showers were gendered. I had a balcony room & the view of the valley & mountains was beautiful. I enjoyed relaxing on the hammock and outdoor seating.

All hostels in Grindelwald

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.
