This is a great place to stay ! great views from the room and hotel deck.
very clean rooms and up to date bathrooms .
Alot of fun taking the FIRST gondola to the hotel.
highly recommend this hotel!
Beautiful stay halfway up the mountain. You can drive up to it, which we did. Road is paved but very narrow and you have a lot of bikes coming down during the day. You can also take the gondola, First. Hiking is fantastic. Peaceful and solitary at night. Restaurant is great.

The location is unbeatable. Unbelievable 360 views of first mountain and the Swiss Alps. DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone driving up there, only take a funicular from Grindelwald. This a single lane HAIR RAISING- WHITE knuckle drive straight up a steep mountain while tourists and kids zip past you on trote bikes. You will have gray hair.
Beautiful location and spectacular views. Nice and clean facilities with a modern twist on a traditional aesthetic. Great breakfast. The only dinner option is the hotel but it is good and has a kids menu.
We had our own clean, modern bathroom, but it was down the hall from our room (not an issue just wanting others to be aware).
Note if you don’t drive to the hotel, you have to pay for the gondola.
A lovely view from the top of the mountain were the hotel was situated very close to nature as we was looking for, I recommend the hotel vor everyone who love the nature as it is.
Definitely I will return to those places!!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The surroundings of the property make this a truly unique and memorable experience. The views, cows right on property, large play area for kids and the cable car that takes you up the mountain were a treat!
The room was comfortable for a one-night stay only. No slippers, robes and not enough towels for a 4 person room.
The breakfast that's included was poor - flies everywhere (likely due to the cows on property) so it's not a good feeling seeing the flies on the meats, cheeses, bread and other food items - lost our appetite quickly. There were flies everywhere so recommend they find some solution for this.
For dinner we dined at their on-site restaurant and the food was mediocre for the price paid. Only one staff member who seemed overwhelmed. He had trouble conversing with us (English) and the table behind us (Korean but speaking English).
Recommend this property for a unique experience but skip all meals and hopefully they fix the fly problem.

Given the location of the property there is only 2 modes of access ( the gondola and hiking). From google earth it looked to be car accessible (private roadway) and we assumed either a taxi or the gondola could take us up. Well the gondola shut down due to some issue and it was poring rain. The hotel said a taxi could take us but after calling multiple taxis they couldn’t, and we just had no way of getting to the property because the hike was out of the picture with our luggage so we missed 1/2 nights at the hotel. We paid for another property and slept off our anger and frustration. In the morning we checked into our room and found that the bathroom was separate from the actual room for us. This was annoying given you would have to walk across a public hallway to get to our room. Whatever we said. Upon entering our room it was fairly clean but there was smashed bugs on the wall and ceiling. The room was clean other than that. We went to eat dinner which tasted okay. We both ordered the European version of a rib eye but what we received seemed like pork. Very chewy and wouldn’t recommend. Carrots overcooked to mush and potatoes bland. Just after dinner as soon as I made it upstairs to my room and sat on the toilet with some sort of food reaction. Was very unpleasant.
Overall if you are a tourist DONT stay here given the location and the inconvenience it gives you while exploring Grindelwald. There are way nicer and cheaper hotels on grinldwald that are better.
