I was a bit puzzled by the absence of a door in the bathroom area of my room

The view from the hotel was breathtaking from all sides. A special thanks to Mrs Brawand, the owner, for being everywhere at the same time and managing to make all guests feel special. The staff are very friendly, well trained and service oriented. I enjoyed the food in the restaurant.

The hotel offers stunning views from every corner, especially from the room’s balcony. They have rich and diverse breakfast which was always served warm. In addition to modern rooms.

Nothing, I was impressed at how super efficient the place is especially the warmth throughout.

The staff are friendly and welcoming, location is absolutely mind blowing, what a view! Our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 children) enjoyed ourselves thoroughly here this weekend just before Christmas. We saw snowfall and the Mountain Views are breathtaking (sounds cliche but it’s true). There is a local bus outside of the hotel (124 at the time of writing) that goes in 2 directions, to Bodmi where there is a ski school (10mins) and to Grindelwald towards the main town/railway (also 10mins). Bus runs every half hour but stops around 7pm. The hotel give you a timetable and guides. You can walk to town to the local restaurants however be very careful it is steep and can be slippery in ice/snow! The rooms were spacious enough, warm, clean, well lit and have that Swiss chalet charm. Rooms might be sound proofed, unsure but once the front door is closed, I could not hear anything- even with my noisy kids in the corridor, so perfect for light sleepers. At the front of the hotel to the right is a ski room down a short stairwell where you can keep your equipment, skis and boots. The hotel partner with Buri sports (in town) where you can rent ski equipment, they can drop and pick up at the hotel if you ask kindly. This hotel is located 10mins drive away from the main railway station. We travelled from Basel to Grindelwald by train, which took just over 2.5hrs with one change over- so very easy to get to. Breakfast was good, continental, juices, tea and coffee provided. They do an evening menu every day. Not overcrowded and just right.

NB THE SHUTTLE DOES NOT RUN UNTIL 7AM. Owners daughter not very helpful in particular at reception We tried to organise a taxi to take us to station before the shuttle started and she gave us a number and told us to ring ourselves. No luck so ended up hauling our suitcases the 20mins to train station.

Stunning views and great location for the gondola to First. Lovely staff in the breakfast resturaunt and in the traditional resturaunt. Excellent fondue! Heaven to sit out on the terrace and watch the mountains and relax. Good size room and sweet welcome plater with fruit and water.

The extra bed which was a sofa bed was rather uneven and slightly uncomfortable.

The view from our room was picture perfect. The dinner at the restaurant was also very good. The pickup and drop off at the station was convenient. It was a short walk to First station too. The afternoon cake service was an extra bonus. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good as well.

The only downside of our stay was that our next room neighbor kept coming out on the balcony to smoke and the smell of of the cigarette smoke was coming into our room which for non-smokers isn’t very pleasant and so that we obviously had less privacy since the balconies are pretty much connected and only divide with pots of flowers.

Absolutely gorgeous cottage style hotel with beautiful views from the top of the hill with free parking and location close to the main street. Delicious buffet style breakfast with wide variety of food options and great coffee machine to begin our day just perfect! Views from the outdoor restaurant terrace were absolutely breathtaking. Very friendly reception staff and clean room with a balcony. Sauna was a bonus however didn’t have a chance nor time to try it. I’m sure it gets used much more in winter time whilst we visit in August.

Nothing.

Everything was just perfect with a plus for the restaurant. Location is among the bests in Grindelwald.

Basically all works here like a Swiss clock. However, we would have bought the First gondola tickets at the hotel reception as one person said would be possible and so to take advantage of the discount coupon we received during our arrival. But when we tried to buy tickets the next morning, it proved to be impossible, for some reason. No sweat, we bought the tickets via internet, but of course could not utilize the possible discount.

This is a quality hotel with a good location. Very nice area indeed. One should note however that walking the pedestrian path from the village to hotel includes a high hill up and vice versa going down to the village center. It is ok when you are fit. Food: we had two dinners at the hotel and a few drinks in the lobby bar. All was nice and good quality. Staff in the restaurant and reception was also very nice and helpful. The sauna area in the hotel basement is good, including two saunas (hot & medium) and nice relaxation area, indoor and out. Dress code: none, towels available.

Bed and pull out sofa could have been a little more comfortable.

The number one thing is, the view is unparalleled! I liked that it was not on the main road, but still close to everything. The cleanliness was off the charts great. The staff were always so pleasant and helpful.

no AC but I know this is common in Europe. Since there wasn't AC we left our balcony door and window open but because we left it open, we can hear our neighbors baby crying and people dining at the restaurant. It made it really difficult to sleep. We had to take sleeping medication just to try to fall asleep.

We had an amazing room with a balcony with a great view. I loved waking up to our view and sitting outside on the balcony admiring the view. But the only thing is that the hotel is situated up on a hill so it was tiring having to climb up the hill every day. Other than that, it's an amazing hotel.

Had a challenging interaction with the shuttle bus driver, who spoke to us in a condescending manner, more like we were children rather than customers.

The food was one of the best in our trip. The hotel is very cozy and conformable.
