The host is incredibly nice and helpful! The hostel is very clean and well equipped and the breakfast is great (I read some comments hoping that could be richer.. but I think we are in a hostel not in a seven star hotel, it’s already better than it should be). The view from the garden is totally another bonus. I would suggest you hike up the hill (it’s not that crazy sincerely) and enjoy the view along the way! The bed is comfortable and to be honest I slept better than other nights in hotel. I would come back again for sure!

What's not to like? From the gondola ride, to the friendly staff, the easy check-in (you do it in the restaurant), the comfy cabin room and, obviously, the STUNNING VIEWS. Everything exceeded expectations and I wished I could've spent an extra night. If you're wondering if it's worth it booking the cabin room as a solo traveler, JUST DO IT! Having the First View and First Walk all to ourselves after the other tourists left/before they arrived the next morning was the highlight, it was a beautiful sunny day and the views were breathtaking.

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly in terms of storing luggage. The breakfast buffets was also fantastic as well as the location of the lodge (right in the centre of Grindelwald with great views).

The host Marsielle is very hospitable. The apartment is cosy & clean; the kitchen is well equipped. The bus stop is just a few minutes' walk away. It is very convenient to go anywhere and yet a quiet environment. We rented 4 bikes from the host for half a day & biked to Iseltwald. The rental was CHF10/bike/half day, very reasonable. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Hassle free booking, smooth check in. They allowed storage till check in time. Staff is very good. Services, breakfast is very good but you have to remove and carry all the covers (pillow, bed sheet etc) to the washing bin. This is a hassle.

Henryk is a very welcoming host. The dormitory was really clean, and it is a great place to stay 15mins away from the city centre which makes the position of the hostel perfect - at a walkable distance from the centre, and at a quiet neighbourhood.

Great views. Can even eat outside on the balcony overlooking the snowy peaks. Lots of opportunities to mingle and chat with other guests. Away from the hustle-bustle of the town, but still within walking distance. I only booked here because the Interlaken Youth Hostel was booked, but I'm so glad it was, as this was a much nicer place.

So zen, comforting and cozy with panoramic views of the mountains. I am a girl traveling alone and it was the perfect safe stopover for me after a 14 mile hike. Staff was so friendly and helpful. It felt like they really wanted you there and cared about your stay. Hostel was clean and very comfortable. Hostel is about a 10 minute walk outside of Grindelwalds main strip, which gives it the calming charm I was in desperate need of. Breakfast was delicious too, prepared me for another long hike the next day.

Amazing views from the hostel. Breakfast was very enjoyable. I felt safe and slept reasonably well. I was surprised how diverse the age groups were of the other holiday makers.

Breakfast was delicious and had a great selection (and vegan/vegetarian options too). The staff were incredible helpful, and gave us great suggestions for hikes to do. The room was comfy and the hostel was quiet. The location was great as the bus stop was just outside and we were right next to the train station, which was convenient. The lodge’s restaurant was also good for a quick cheap eat. Also seemed to have lots of communal areas, pool table, etc if you wanted things to do.
