Location was slightly up hill on Main Street away from busiest part of town so more quiet yet easy to walk everywhere in town. Owners are 4 generations. Called Gary while on train to Grindelwald and he happily met us at train station for ride to hotel w luggage. Views from room and breakfast breathtaking looking at mountains.

Jeff

United States of America

The owners were great hosts and were a huge help setting up tours and traveling around Grindelwald. They were alsovery responsive when we had any requests.

Mark

United States of America

We stayed at this wonderful place for four nights with our two adult sons, 20 & 23. The food, rooms, owner attention/ Ancestry of the hotel, and warm hospitality were outstanding. The hotel is like a mini-museum of Grindewald. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and it was some of the best food on our trip- fresh, local, tasty, and healthy. Our sons loved the basement ping pong and we all appreciated the laundry facility and game table. You can get your Jungfrau pass and tickets printed at the hotel without having to wait in line with tourists at the train station. The owners are lovely and very helpful people who encouraged and helped me find the spot where my father and mother took a picture in 1960 so I could get the same picture of my sons. Unforgettable experience!

Kristine

The staff was especially helpful. They turned on the steam room when I requested it. Delicious breakfast. And best of all a balcony to sip a glass of wine.

Charming authentic family-run chalet hotel with a lot of character. On the edge of town away from the hustle and bustle. Owner-operators are very friendly and helpful.

Lee

United States of America

Could not ask for more amazing views. We arrived after dark and we woke up to stunningly close mountains and the sounds of the cows with large bells passing right beside. Staff went out of the way to help us from everything from breakfast to local activities.

Nothing. It was perfect.
Hotel was just a short walk 1 km from the train station and not in the middle of town so it was quiet and relaxing. We were happy to walk to the train station, but on our arrival, the owner Gabriella, offered to pick us up. I loved the history of the hotel. It is owned and operated by the 3rd generation.

The only slight inconvenience was that we did not have a refrigerator in our room. It seems mini-fridges in Switzerland are not typically in hotels.

Kudos to the staff who were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was big and airy with a big balcony overlooking the Alps, just the place to sit and chill out. While not exactly centrally located (they have a shuttle service, and the bus stops nearby), the hotel is close to both the First and Pfingstegg cable cars. Remember to use the Guest card, it gives hefty discounts.
