We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend tbe hostel. It has nice flair, equipment and friendly staff. Thoug the rooms could include more charching stations and the bus ticket should be made available before check-in so arriving at the hostel is more convenient.

Views were beautiful, food was not good, except the donuts which were great. Horrible arrangement of beds. Also, why did they think it was okay to have one girl and 2 guys in a room, in which one bed is right next to the other? Receptionist was awesome. Location for closeness to everything not great

Room was very nice, although clearly geared up for winter rather than summer (fleecy bed sheets & no aircon/bit of a sun trap). Not a very social hostel- mainly school kids on a trip. Location is a bit of a nightmare as it’s up a bit hill but for relatively cheap accommodation while doing some hikes it can’t be beaten. Would be good if female only dorms were availablw

10/10 hostel. Would recommend to anyone visiting Grindelwald. Worth the price.

had a great stay, only problem with the room was a lack of outlets would be nice if they had an extension cord so everyone had their own, otherwise good room

One of my favourite hostels I’ve ever stayed in! The views from the balcony and from my room window were stunning. It’s the perfect place to unwind. It is very steep to reach by foot (I completely underestimated how steep) but without luggage it’s entirely doable. My only gripe was putting on and taking off the sheets, didn’t love that. Would definitely stay here again though.

This hostel was super cozy and it was always super clean. The location is a bit annoying to get too as it’s pretty much straight hill to get up too. But with it being on a pretty high hill it has an absolutely fabulous view, like honestly breathtaking. But there was only like 3 plug sockets and they were all in one corner of the room and not near the beds which is a bit annoying but not the worse. But all in all seemed pretty modern and a really nice stay! Would defo stay here again!!

El staff es muy amable, habíamos reservado dos camas individuales en una habitación compartida y pudieron acomodarnos en una doble privada. Tienen baños por cada nivel y no tuvimos que esperar para bañarnos. Cuentan con una sola lavadora y secadora por lo que recomiendo llevar cambio ya que funciona con monedas. El lugar tiene hermosas vistas pero lo ideal es llegar en bus ya que es en subida y subir con maletas podría ser difícil. El desayuno es muy bueno y puedes también pagar por una c...

Don’t listen to the bad reviews!! This hostel is so nice. It is by no means a party hostel but for relaxing in a cozy cottage like location in the mountains it is perfect. The breakfast is so good, the rooms are spacious and cute with amazing views of the mountains, the staff are very kind and the bathrooms are clean. Only small downside is the showers have a button you have to push every 10 seconds. Overall though this is an amazing mountain hostel that I can’t recommend enough!

I don’t usually leave bad ratings, but this hostel was not the best. It had a good breakfast, and a great view, but that’s about all it had going for it. There’s a huge hill to walk up with your luggage. We had to wait for the staff to take a smoke break in order to check in. Showers turn off after 10 seconds. Staff kept hounding us about not making the bed properly? There’s also only one outlet in each room. And lockers cost 2 franks every use… also, kids were EVERYWHERE. Very weird...
