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.

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.

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.

“A pleasant place to stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
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.
