Everything was unreal! When we arrived exhausted after hours of travelling our room key and details were all laid out on the desk ready for us to head straight up. The rooms view was unbelievable and much appreciated. The breakfast was perfect and staff friendly and helpful. Couldn’t fault anything.

Lovely hotel. Great staff and breakfast and fantastic view of mountains. Just know that the 15 min walk from rail station is up the side of a steep mountain and it’s a car free area so no taxi and no hotel transport. Travel light.

I absolutely loved my stay! The staff were fantastic, the breakfast was great, and the rooms were comfortable. I definitely felt the full Swiss experience...especially with the climb up to the hotel 😅.

Very nice staff. Walking distance from train station. The breakfast is very nice. The condition is a bit old, but all hotels in Grindelwald would probably the same.

The view from our room/balcony was priceless, very clean with daily service, excellent breakfast, very friendly hosts and staff. Authentic Swiss chalet . The path to reach is very steep, do not bring large suitcases.

Lovely stay at the Chalet!
We only stayed one night and it was perfect! Our key was waiting at the front desk, lovely room, good size, comfortable and with a balcony and view! Breakfast starts at 7:30, and it was perfect too, with a lovely view! Fresh bread, trouts, local cheeses and meats! A wonderful stay at a chalet!
We drove, there’s a small parking and then you need to walk a little uphill with the bags to reach the hotel. Totally worth it!
