All great except: Checkin at 4pm is too late, TV should be moved to the next room with more comfortable chairs, laundry should be updated so don’t need coins, one kettle is not enough for whole hostel, fridge too small

This hostel was an ideal base for two nights for our activities in the Jungfrau region. The view from the terrace (and our room) was breathtaking, shower was powerful and hot (we booked a room with a private bathroom). It was a bit of a walk from town (steep but quite short) but very doable and the buses were handy (though be aware they finish early evening if you are in town for dinner/ drinks). Kettle and microwave also gave some flexibility with meals. Only downside was drinks were to be bought at reception which regularly was busy or unmanned (and when we finally found someone they had limited stock available), though if organised can pick this up in town.

Decent rooms with good facilities/amenities and great view, although it takes a fair amount of effort to get there (Roads in the area are quite steep, something to consider if you've got heavy luggage). Otherwise, enjoyed my stay there!

Regarding the location, I can say that it’s not one of the most convenient one’s. But, worth just for the view. I would definitely recommend NOT to stay in a room with 6 people. The house is a bit old, so you keep hearing the floor cracking so it’s hard to sleep with so many people walking around the room. Other than that, the breakfast is good, staff friendly and place always clean.

Good Stay
I’m a 59 year old solo traveler that stayed here September 20-23, 2023. I basically had just one roomie that was super considerate and nice for the two nights. Bed was very comfortable and things were quiet during my stay. Breakfast was good and kept me solid throughout the day. Has great views from my balcony. All-in-all, I pleasant stay and I highly recommend.

Amazing town
Grindelwald is such a pretty town so this hostel is the most cost effective to stay in grindelwald. Clean and good selection at breakfast. Only disadvantage is that it is located high up on the hill so it’s a steep treck up walking but bus also goes there every half an hour

Not sure if this is informed to guest.. but would be good information to share: - last bus from station - is a very very challenging steep uphill walk to the accommodation, esp. with luggage!

Everything excellent, just to reach by walk is very steep path, better take bus 122 or 121 and there is a stop just by the hostel entrance.
