A must stay in Grindelwald

You have to make this your stay for your Grindelwald trip!! The coziest hotel with the sweetest owners and most breathtaking views. It was the perfect location, only a 7 min walk from the train station, but up on the hill enough so it felt more peaceful and serene than the main street of town. I only stayed two nights, but they came and freshened up my room anyway during the day, changed the bed/towels etc. complimentary breakfast that included a buffet spread, made to order eggs, and all sorts of coffee. Little details in the lobby and room just provided a sense of home and comfort. Beautiful yard with lounge chairs that overlooks the mountains and town. Only 1 small hill to get up, but absolutely doable even with luggage. And it’s so worth it!! Truly felt like a dream staying here.

My wife and I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Sonnenberg! Our room in the chalet building was gorgeous with an incredible balcony and view of Grindelwald and the alps! The hotel is just up the hill from the train station which makes the walk up worth it to get a view better than any hotel in the valley! Breakfast was excellent with fresh bread and pastries baked right there in Grindelwald! The staff were lovely and George even coordinated a bottle of Champagne in our room to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Couldn’t recommend more!

Very pleasant hotel with excellent views. The complimentary breakfast has many delicious choices, and the staff were always cheerful and accommodating. Very comfortable and relaxing sitting area next to the breakfast room. The only downside is that there is a steep climb from the parking area to the hotel. The staff, however, were very helpful transporting luggage to and fro. Altogether a wonder stay.

The way to the hotel from their parking lot is a difficult climb for seniors. No elevator to use from the reception to the rooms! It has good view of the mountain.

The most amazing view!

This small hotel is one of the most amazing hotels I have ever stayed. I have to admit, the steep walk to the hotel will make you rethink your fitness level ... but ... the view from our room was simply to die for! The owners (a very nice couple) not only upgraded our room for no particular reason, they also provided us with information on nearby attractions. The room was clean and roomy. Breakfast was included and was also fabulous. Great variety and extremely delicious. I would give this hotel my highest recommendation.

Classic Swiss hotel with charming rooms and lobby. Beautiful Mountain View from the room. The hotel is located up a very steep hill but that is the only downside.

Very friendly staff, great location. There is a bit of a walk up the hill so if you are older / disabled, be sure you know what you're signing up for. But you are in Grindelwald after all!

The room was very comfortable..larger than many we have stayed in in Europe. The views were incredible. Breakfast was yummy and plentiful. Parking was convenient for us but I see how this could be a problem in on season. There is a walk uphill to the property which is very doable but you do need to be prepared to carry your luggage up

This hotel has amazing views from your room or the balcony. With amazing views comes a little bit of a steep walk to this hotel, but totally doable and worth it. Could use a little bit extra cleaning in the main dining areas, but was pleased with room cleanliness. Breakfast was ok, unfortunately learned on the last day you can order eggs which would’ve been awesome to know before. A very Swiss and cozy feel! Would recommend
