Steep hill to hotel

location , town , food

Stayed in February 2025

The walk up the hill would be difficult in bad weather, & very hard in rain or snow, but we had clear sunny weather so managed ok going up the hill with our bags.

Charming chalet, comfy room

The location is incredible it's a bit of a climb but worth every step. I had a beautiful very comfortable room looking right at the Eiger and down over the beautiful village. Night and day the views are amazing. Staff are so friendly and helpful they even added a kettle to the coffee machine when they knew i liked tea. Breakfast was great again stunning views. I stayed 3 nights and would definitely return. Outstanding

We had the most heartwarming experience at Hotel Sonnenberg. We were grateful for everything arranged and prepared by the hotel owner and his wife, including the fondue dinner in a private tent, the hotel room and the breakfast etc. Perhaps Hotel Sonnenberg is one of the major reasons why we fell in love with Grindelwald. The balcony view absolutely left us breathless every morning.

pricey all said and done. no way to reach the hotel by vehicle so have to carry luggage up a steep path by hand.

The carpet in the room has seen better days and the shower went hot/cold by itself, but who cares when you can just look past it out the window :)

Oh my goodness those views - highlight of a month long road trip. As others have said, that 2 minute walk uphill from the village is SO worth it. Just stunning. Also the most warm and friendly staff from start to finish

During the day I could hear people talking in the room next to mine very clearly. Extremely steep walk to the hotel, this is the sacrifice for the views. Very difficult to walk even without any luggage, every time it was a workout. Part of the road to the hotel was totally dark in the evening, that part is far away from the hotel so very likely not managed by the hotel, however you have to walk through it in complete darkness to get to the hotel.

Very close to train station and grocery. Quiet area. Great WiFi. Excellent views. Nice breakfast.

We loved our stay in Hotel Sonnenberg. Great location, beautiful mountain views and a well maintained, clean room. The staff was friendly, welcoming and very helpful. When we had to leave early for a day trip, the manager arranged take away breakfast packs with coffee for us, which was fabulous. We loved everything and would definitely recommend Hotel Sonnenberg to anyone who wants to stay in Grindelwald.

The fan in the bathroom stays on a bit long (it's to help with the moisture) so if you got up to use bathroom at night, the fan noise was a little loud but not a deal breaker.

The view from our room was insanely beautiful! I highly recommend getting a room with a balcony view. You will not believe the views. The staff were SO friendly and helpful. On our last morning, they packed us a breakfast so we could take it on the train with us. The breakfast everyday was great, and they cook eggs to order :)

The Sonnenberg is the best value in Grindelwald. The views of the valley and peaks are unforgettable. We truly felt welcomed to the Sonnerberg unlike other Grindelwald hotels I've stayed in. We had cycled over 2 major passes from Andermatt so the 200 meter walk was no big deal. The couple managing the hotel booked dinners in the village for our group which completed our two night stay.

Absolutely amazing! The staff are so kind and helpful, the room is surreal with the most perfect view of the mountains. I want to go back right now!!!

Stunning Mountain View, quiet environment

The uphill is pretty tired, but in exchange of the view is worthy.

Hosts are very nice, great balcony at the restaurant.

Rooms were a bit small, and the walk up was very difficult with the luggage and stroller

Staff was great, hotel was very clean, rooms were comfortable and the location is beautiful.

It’s a bit uphill so you gotta work to get up there!

A felt very welcomed the moment I stepped into the hotel. The lovely couple were so helpful and easy to communicate with. The room was spacious and had an amazing view of the mountains. If I ever come back to grindelwald I will do my best to book atleast one night here. The breakfast was very good.
