“A relaxed time to soak up the atmosphere inside and outside the hotel.”
Hotel exuded the care the family has taken over generations to develop a hotel with unique and beautiful finishes. The breakfast was continental but was great. The views from our balcony were breathtaking.

“Spectacular room, incredibly comfortable stay!”
The room was exceptional and the staff were so warm and accommodating! Fabulous location at the quieter end of town which was so peaceful but everything was still incredibly accessible (we were only a 5 minute walk to the First cable car). We wish we had booked a longer stay!

“Great time in a superb location, with happy, friendly and helpful staff.”
Located on the edge of town away from the noise, with fantastic views all around. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had the 4 course evening meal on 3 of our 4 nights there, and all were very tasty.

“Worth it for the view!”
The outside of the hotel is actually even more beautiful than in the picture! The room was nice, clean, and the bed was comfy. The staff was kind and helpful with our requests. Our favourite thing was the AMAZING view of the glacier from our (shared) terrace!

Lovely view, friendly staff and great feel to the hotel. The set menu was delicious and they were good at catering for me, as someone who is lactose and gluten intolerant

Loved it. The staff were fantastic, a long term family run business. Location was great - just at the top of town. Bike ride was incredible- highly recommend 2-3 nights. We had dinner at the hotel one night which was great.

“Great Place”
Very silent room, room view was really nice, dinner and breakfast were really good and very attent to detail. Check-in very fast, and thanks a lot for keeping our bags after check-out; this was a great help. Bus stop in front of hotel in both directions, so very easy to arrive from main station.

The staff were all delightful - we had a wonderful stay. The food at the hotel itself was fantastic, as was the nearby Fiescherblick, the best meal we had in Switzerland. Highly recommended

“Absolutely INCREDIBLE stay in the heart of Grindelwald with breathtaking views of the mountains!”
Such a beautiful stay with rustic charm right in the heart of Grindelwald! Thank you to the super lovely staff who were very accomodating, even checking in on us the day we arrived in Grindelwald and offering us a lift from the station to the hotel was greatly appreciated!! To wake up to the incredible views of the mountains from right outside our room balcony was surreal! 😍
