Breakfast was included and was a generous buffet which included a good selection of cereals, yogurts, breads, cheeses, condiments, croissants, fresh fruits and optional soft boiled eggs to order. We also enjoyed delicious 4 course dinners for a very reasonable 46 CH. This family run hotel provided exceptional service and care to their guests. We are not fluent in German yet so the staff all speaking English was incredibly helpful for us. This hotel is a short 10 minute walk down the hill to the main shopping area, and was very quiet at Night. As the Hoteliers knew it was my husband’s birthday they prepared special table decorations for him and wrote him a lovely personal birthday greeting, with a small momento from the hotel. Being picked up and dropped off to the train was also an appreciated service. The room had wonderful views and modern bathrooms. This hotel has been run by the same family for over 120 years!

Immaculately kept chalet style hotel, tasteful interior and run by very friendly family staff, not to mention beautiful view of the mountains. Good buffet breakfast and dinner too. Extremely helpful advice on sights and activities and ability to book and print tickets at the reception is a great time saver and allows us to beat the queue. Location just opposite the church, and almost next to the Grindelwald First cable car station, within walking distance to town center yet away from the noise and crowd.

the single room is quit small, but still ok ! great view and really really friendly staff who will help you with all your questions. excellent breakfast with an amazing view :) very happy

Quaint and cozy family run hotel in walking distance to everything. Owners and staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Lovely views from our balcony. We will be back!

The view from our balcony and the owners were amazing! Also, there is a bus stop 20 feet away. This makes the location extremely convenient.

The owners were so helpful. The staff very friendly. The inn charming with its beautiful flowers.

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.

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.

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!

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.
