Checking in was easy, warm welcome, room was spacious and comfortable. All amenities covered from coffee machine to toiletries. Breakfast was excellent, a really good selection across the board. Excellent restaurant for evening meals. All staff members were friendly.
The location is the best in front train station, the staff is friendly. Close to Eiger mountain

Booked a comfort room and when we arrived at the hotel they let us know it was on the 5th floor when the elevators only go to the 4th floor. You need to take a narrow spiral staircase to access the room which is essentially the attic of the building with very low ceilings and no central air. I asked for a different room as I was traveling with my elderly mother who is over 70 years old and they could not accommodate. When I asked if a lower category opens up even in the middle of our 5 night stay the front desk man said he could let me know and started to reach for pen and paper but then changed his mind. He didn’t make any note so I believe he was just saying that but didn’t mean it. They did send someone to bring our luggage up the stairs for us. Then when we were checking out we called down to ask for help to bring our luggage down the stairs but was told no one was available as all staff are working in the breakfast buffet. It would be better if they let people know to call the night before or have luggage be sent down the night before.
Even without the stairs/luggage issue, we will not be staying at the hotel again. There is no central air and funky smell throughout the hotel probably from cooking in the kitchen as there is poor ventilation throughout the dates building. Breakfast buffet is just okay as they only have 2 hot items (eggs and bacon) but they do not even provide any condiments (ketchup, salt/pepper, hot sauce) that you would normally see.
Staff were fantastic telling me where to go and helping me with bags and moving my car. Couldn’t do enough for you! The food was lovely and waiters created a lovely atmosphere. The room has a fantastic view. My only criticism was that the TV remote didn’t work but didn’t really need it with the view!
I found this hotel to be a pleasant traditional hotel with friendly staff and mostly good facilities. On the negative side the rooms are little old-fashioned and occasionally run down in small areas. But the public areas are good, as was the restaurant. Pleasant buffet available for breakfast The best thing is the convenience for getting on the train which is literally right outside your door.
The worst is the ski room arrangement because you are forced to exit from the basement of the hotel so to get back to the train station to ascend the mountain, you must lug your skis, wearing ski boots up a flight of rickety steps and all across the outside of the hotel.
We booked a south facing room for one night, so that we could view the Eiger. We enjoyed out stay so much we stayed an additional night. All of the staff was very helpful, and I'll likely stay here again on our next visit. Oh, it about 10 meters from the train station--you can't get a hotel closer to the Grindelwald train station.
Good stay but no Wifi for one day. They could not fix it. We also had to ask for soap on second day and no refills on coffee or other in-room amenities. Otherwise all good. Large rooms. Great location next to train station. Restaurant was surprisingly great.
No laundry facilities. Bathroom smelled. Rooms small. HOWEVER, the place was clean and charming with a delicious free breakfast! The staff was very friendly as well!
This is the traditional Swiss hotel experience we were looking for and the views were outstanding. It’s a great hotel and the staff were very helpful.

Small town jewel
I read some of the reviews and was a bit worried as some people complained on the breakfast, size of room, and location near the train. I have nothing but great things to say about the hotel. Yes, it is right next to the train! The breakfast has so many options, I could tell that everything was fresh. The eggs were delicious! The people working there from the front desk to the restaurant, and the cleaning staff were all polite and friendly/helpful.
