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!

Hostel with nice view and reasonable prices

The hostel is not near to town but easily accessible by a bus (they'll give you a bus pass). The views are great though. Best to stock up food or have dinner in town before returning as the dinner (which you can purchase) isn't great.

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.

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.

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.

It takes a few minutes to get there by bus from the train station, and it quits running around 500, but even if you have to walk up, its OK if you're traveling light...and know the direct path. If not, just ask. Nice folks everywhere, or follow GMaps.

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

This property was great except when I tried to check out there was no clear spot to leave your key and I had to check out 30mins earlier than when reception opened. I asked a man that came out of reception where to put it and I was subsequently yelled at. He said “can’t you see, I’m in my pajamas”. Seeing that I wasn’t asking any big favor and how was I to know he wasn't working. He could’ve just told me where to leave it and continued. Other than that, this place was great.
