The location is great with beautiful scenic view, especially breakfast place has the amazing view. Staff are very kind and friendly and in terms of cleanliness it’s super clean and they cleaned our room everyday. I would definitely recommend to chose Caprice hotel as there destination stay, you won’t regret it. Even train station is just 2 min away from the hotel which is very convenient. For feedback I would advise hotel caprice to keep kettle in every room rather than asking down in the restaurant. Overall, we had a great experience with my family. Thank you.

We enjoyed 3 mights at the hotel and had a spacious superior double room. It opened onto a massive roof terrace. The hotel has a lovely family vibe and the staff was very firendly. 2 minute walk down to the train station made the hotel a convenient place to stay in. And thats what you pay for, the convenience of being so close to town. However i wouldn't say that the hotel is good value for money. It is quite expensive per night with basic facilities. They do mention there are no kettles or coffee machines in the rooms, but at this price, you would expect one or the other as well as free parking. You have to pay ch5 a day for parkkng. I was mostly disappointed by the cleaning charge for dogs, ch50 is extremely expensive considering my dog made absolutely no mess. Whilst the hotel is lovely and extremely quiet, i would opt to stay elsewhere if i am going to spend that much.

The hotel is near the train station which was convenient for getting around to other areas. There was a little bit of a steep hill to get up to the hotel but it was only about 100 yards. I chose a single room; it was small but worth the price I paid. The continental breakfast had enough variety for me and all was very fresh. The hosts were very pleasant and accommodating. I would recommend the hotel.

We stayed as family in Hotel Caprice, it was fantastic. The views from this place was just stunning, almost unreal. Close to the station, dining and so many Grindelwald attractions and cable car stations, just perfect location. Rooms were clean and convenient. Dining staff was very friendly and caring, gave a family vibe. Reception staff and service can be more friendly and helpful ( especially to tourists who have come from 1000s of miles away to visit their little town). Overall I would do it again in a second! Grindelwald is just a dream town.

Hotel Caprice is located near train station, so very convenient to travelers using train. Room conditions were also very clean, and all the staffs i met were very friendly. View from the restaurant where we could get breakfast was fantastic. There is no elevator like many other hotels in this area, but staff helped to bring up the luggage. In short, everything was goo except for price. You should not compare with hotels in Asia

Our check-in/out experience was bad in this hotel. Our train from Milan to Spiez was late so we missed the last train connecting Spiez with Grindelwald. We had to find a taxi to take us from Spiez to Grindelwald which took us a while. On the way I found an email from the hotel asking if we’re checking in tonight and stating that they will charge an extra 25CHF for each hour we arrive late after 9:00pm for check in. This wasn’t announced anywhere in the rules of the hotel or check-in agreement. While checking out the owner wanted us to pay that amount of money and he didn’t like that I argued about it. At the end when I told him that this rule is not mentioned anywhere, he let it go. Otherwise the hotel was nice. Within Walking distance of the train station and about 3 minutes walk from the city center. You’ll enjoy a very nice view from the breakfast terrace. It’s a family business and the owner was informative and helpful (one night my brother was locked out of his hotel after midnight so he called the property and asked them to open the door for him) The only thing that wasn’t comfortable in our room was one of the mattresses. It was too soft but the one on the other bed was ok.
