Grindelwald Hotels with Breakfast

The hotel is located right next to the train and bus station for Jungfraujoch or First, just a 30-second walk away. The room was clean, spacious, and cozy. The front desk staff were very warm and friendly. Definitely choose a room with a balcony – it faces Eiger Mountain directly, and the view from the balcony is simply amazing. The breakfast buffet was also excellent. Five-star recommendation!

This hotel is quite popular, and I managed to snag a south-facing balcony room for two days by booking a month in advance, then booked a north-facing room for the last day. The south-facing rooms are marketed for their Eiger views, but since we were on the second floor, most of our view was blocked by an old hotel undergoing renovation across the street. If you can get a higher floor, the south-facing rooms would be great. What was surprisingly good was the north-facing room on the last day; it also faced a beautiful hillside, got excellent, unobstructed sunlight, and had a very peaceful and lovely vibe. Plus, the rooftop terrace offers stunning views of both the north and south sides, so there's no need to be too particular about the room type. The hotel's location is definitely its best feature; it's incredibly convenient. Sometimes you can see the train arriving and still make it downstairs in time. After a day of hiking, it's amazing to step off the train and right into the hotel! For this price, it offers great value for money in Grindelwald during summer!

各方面都挺好的我們住了兩晚，酒店就在first山的半山腰Bort這個纜車🚡上下點，其中有個遊樂項目Trottibike的起點就在這裏終點在山腳，我們要在first玩所以定了這個酒店，酒店不大總共10多個房間，房間沒有空調，夏天上半夜有點熱，下半夜就沒問題，冬天有制暖器。如果入住這裏大家一定記得提前在下午五點前check in，因為我們要在山下的小鎮格林德瓦坐纜車上來的，纜車最後一班大概在下午5點-6點，除非是自駕車，不然晚上上來酒店很麻煩。大家如果喜歡安靜且希望窗户直接可以看first景色的話這裏就挺好的，酒店下面吃自助早餐的位置也很好對着雪山，房間價格還行，下山做纜車衹有一站，從Bort到山下十多分鐘。對了酒店旁邊還有個適合小孩玩的小樂園。

The location is at Grindelwald Terminal, not Grindelwald village itself. This is basically the transfer point for Jungfraujoch, which is convenient if you're heading up there. However, there are no shops around, so it's quite desolate. It might suit those who prefer peace and quiet. If you want to go to First mountain, you'll need to take the train to the next stop. The good thing here is that the hotel is a short walk from the station, so you don't have to drag your luggage up any hills. If you're hoping to see the 'Dreamy Hillside' (Eiger North Face views), I'd recommend choosing a hotel closer to Grindelwald station. The shower drain was clogged; the water nearly overflowed onto the bathroom floor. Also, there's no fan in the room, so it could get quite stuffy and hot during the summer.

We stayed at Grindelwald for four nights. The hotel lobby offers complimentary coffee and tea, and outside of breakfast hours, the hotel restaurant is freely accessible to guests. You can use the microwave and induction cooker to prepare food, but you'll need to bring your own pots. We dined at the restaurant next door five times in a row, and not once did we have a complaint. It seems 'white people food' didn't overwhelm our Chinese palates. A friendly tip: definitely don't order rice with Western meals; the undercooked rice in Switzerland is truly awful – we fell for it more than once. The train and bus stations are just a two to three-minute walk from the hotel, making transportation incredibly convenient. Prices in Switzerland are exorbitant; a typical steak at a restaurant costs around 500, a fish dish about 400, and a bottle of sparkling water 85. For two meals a day, food alone can cost 1000 big bucks. Compared to back home, everything here is simply expensive. The hotel provides luggage storage. After speaking with the front desk, they'll give you a key so you can store your luggage yourself, lock the door, and then return the key to the front desk.

I ended up booking a hostel bed because it was the only option left, and honestly, I was dreading it beforehand. Little did I know, my 'dream hill' would turn into a 'nightmare hill'! So, I accidentally missed my train in Switzerland (maybe couldn't find it, or got off at the wrong stop), which meant a 30-60 minute delay... and then I missed the hostel's last bus. I thought, '15-minute walk, no big deal, a little uphill is fine.' But it wasn't just a simple uphill, it was an incredibly steep climb! Dragging a 40lb suitcase left me utterly defeated. The front desk guy was busy checking in other guests (yep, only one staff member there), so he couldn't come help me halfway up the mountain until after 10 PM. Big thanks to the Trip.com customer service who kept me company on the phone during that time (it was so quiet on the hillside, not a soul around)... When I finally got to the hostel, I found out it was mixed-gender dorms. First time sharing a room with a bunch of guys, scared me to death! 🤯 The snoring was... well, hilarious haha 😂. Still, I'm grateful. That luggage was seriously heavy; I spent 7 minutes hauling it up the mountain, completely exhausted and burnt out. The next day was my birthday, and the front desk guy, with a bright smile, wished me 'Happy birthday,' as if last night's nightmare had truly just been a dream.

The hotel staff was extremely accommodating and helpful! Everyone wore a smile as they greeted us. The location is great and the view of the mountains is unbeatable. Will definitely be staying here again on our trip back! Shuttle service is super convenient (Joao was great and unmatched driver) getting to and from hotel/station.

The hotel has convenient transportation. It only takes about 7 minutes to get to Grindelwald train station. There are many restaurants along the way. The hotel staff politely provided us with local information many times. The room was clean, the hotel breakfast was acceptable, and the price was very affordable.

If you stay in Greendelwald, unconditionally recommended!!! Compared to all the nearby Eigerview accommodations, the cost performance was crazy, and the view was crazy!! Every meal was bought at Coups and ate at the hostel ... No need for other luxury hotels!! Breakfast is also very good, the front desk staff are friendly and everything is perfect!

The hotel was located in the middle of the hill, just like many of the hotels in Grindelwald. There was free bus in the area so it was easy getting up and down. Yet, the bus service stops at around 6 or 7pm, and you will have to walk up the hill from the train station for about 20 minutes. Also, potentially because it was in the middle of the mountain or it was winter, it felt very dry in the middle of the night. It would be nice if there can be a humidifier in the room. However, the view of the room is absolutely worth it. You can look at mountains like Eigerblick just from your room and the breakfast buffet, and it is extremely breathtaking. The breakfast buffet included was decent, with fruits, bread, cereal, some hot food and drinks. In particular the eggs were very nicely done. The bathroom looks a bit old-fashioned and narrow, with slightly insufficient lighting, but overall it was clean and good. The service was generally good. We were greeted with great smiles and friendliness by the reception and staff at the breakfast buffet. Overall it was an amazing stay and I would recommend it:)
