The hotel location is a bit far away from the train station. The view from the room window was fantastic. The breakfast service was inconvenient for the tourist who has to leave earlier, because the breakfast service starts at 7:30.

A little bit far from village center but free bus pass helps. Not so much dining choice near the hotel so the free bus is a good perk. Hotel was great, Staff pleasant and helpful, Great Breakfast.

Great

The staff are so helpful! Breakfast buffet was wonderful! The rooms were clean, well furnished & well maintained. We had a balcony with a pretty view of the mountains. It is located very close to Pfingstegg lift and amazing Gletscherschlucgt Glacier Canyon. We walked to Grindalwald train station - do not get off at terminal station. They did a bag of laundry for me & returned it to the room while we were gone. Restaurants & church in walking distance. Easy to get to lifts for mountains. Would stay there again if I am lucky enough to return.
