In the very well-equipped holiday apartment in the chalet right next to the hotel we have a week long very welcome and comfortable. Wonderful views of the bergkulissen of the eiger, moench and first. We were as guests and treated with attentions to the front desk, and for the farewell worn out. Owners and staff are extremely friendly people. The location, directly at the train station Grindelwald and still very quiet, could not be better. You can the car forget and with bus, train and gondolas get anywhere.

Welcome very friendly. Stayed in a holiday home of the hotel derby. Location below hotel. The condo is located in an older chalet. Therefore makes the floor with every step and you'll hear from the other other tourists. Rooms comfortable but simply furnished. Kitchen is very old (in need of renovation) and furnished with the necessities. Unfortunately we had 2 times in the evening no warm water for showering and several electrical cables of the lamps was the isolationeschutz broken (dangerous!) We are therefore already earlier! … read more

Next to the train station, close to the small bus station, and within easy reach of the gondulas that take you further up into the mountains,it is an ideal holiday base. The area has many wonderful walks, with breathtaking scenery. All of the staff offer a friendly caring service: the owners who show a personal interest daily in their guests welbeing; the helpful, considererate dining room staff; and the efficient reception … read more
