Grindelwald Hotels with Bars

Nice mountain view from the room, but the room is not big. The hotel located 10 mins walk from the Grindlewald station and 2 mins walk from the First Bahn to go Grindlewald First. The breakfast is nice but it’s only open at 7am hence it’s quite rush if you have early activity which you have to leave the hotel early e.g to go to Jung frau.

In view of the scarce parking spaces in Grindelwald, the parking lot directly at the house was very pleasing, even more pleasing - it was free! Of course we left the car for the stay there and walked. The room (double room with bathroom) was relatively small, but adequate. Very nice to see the local mountains right outside the window in the early morning! The breakfast buffet wasn't exactly lavish, but it was adequate, and there was even rice ready for the predominantly Asian guests. The coffee was always freshly brewed in cups and tasted correspondingly good. Tickets to the Jungfraujoch were available at the friendly reception at original prices. The walk to the train station takes about 10 minutes. Rooms with shared bathrooms were also available for thrifty guests, mostly younger Asian travelers. Conclusion: gladly again (but 1x on the Jungfraujoch is enough in life)

The pinnacle, quite literally, of our Swiss trip was in the beautiful alpine village of Grindelwald. The Konzett family runs their historic, charming boutique hotel in the heart of the village, convenient to everything including the train station. The hotel is a thoughtfully appointed, subtly luxurious hotel with super friendly and professional staff. This was the first European trip for our grandchildren, and the staff made certain it would be a trip of a lifetime for them. The Hotel Kreuz & Post was the perfect choice for both the adults and children. The staff is top drawer--professional, kind, extra accommodating and everything you would expect in a luxury hotel. Highest recommendation for an authentic stay in the Swiss Alps. Kudos to all the Konzetts and staff!

We were hiking from Schynige platte til First, and had clearly underestimated the hike and perhaps overestimated our own ability. When we reached First, the gondola down to Grindelwald was closed (for anyone else, please note that they close it rather early (17:30-18:00-ish) considering how long a hike it is from Schynige Platte, and start as early as possible, since it takes quite some time to even reach Schynige Platte with the mountain train from Wilderswil). We called the hotel, to let them know, that we were coming but it would take some time, as we had to walk down from First on very sore legs. Steffie from the reception (sorry if this is not the correct spelling of your name) was incredible kind, and tried to help us as best as possible, and directed us to the hotel halfway down, where we could try to call for a taxi. We made it to the hotel, and as luck would have it, a taxi pulled in at the same time, as it was driving some people up to the hotel up there. If you should happen to end up in the same situation, try calling a taxi and see if they will go all the way up to First. It should be possible but will of course cost a bit to get them up there. The hike down to the hotel halfway down was quite steep, so hard on the knees. We were delighted to crawl into the taxi and get driven all the way to the hotel door. Here we met Steffie, who kindly offered to open up the spa area just for us, as it had closed before we were able to reach the hotel, and would not open until after we had to check out the next day. We were too tired at that point, and were in stead allowed to go in the spa the next day, despite having checked out at that point. We ordered some food from Steffie and got it sent up to our room, and enjoyed a meal, a nice bath and a comfortable bed. The next day, we enjoyed a very nice breakfast with champagne. Best of all was the employee cooking up omelets on order at the breakfast bar. We checked out. Stored our luggage at the hotel and went for a walk in town, before heading back to the hotel and enjoying the spa after it had opened. Steffie provided us with a key to the spa, and we were then lucky enough to be able to enjoy the spa all to ourselves. Definitely recommend using it when it opens up around noon if you have the opportunity. The infinity pool was just amazing in the sunlight and with the mountains in the background. Absolutely recommend this hotel, and a very big thank you to Steffie for the great service!

Excitement when we booked the hotel: five stars hotel, a restaurant with 14 points on Gault & Millau, spa and gorgeous views over the Eiger mountain. But disappoin**ent when we arrived. Nobody to greet us or help us with the luggage. The tables on the garden next to the entrance were covered of empty packs of cigarettes and overflowing ashtrays. When we arrived at the front desk, there was only one person, who took care of the couple of friends that were travelling with us, and suddenly a guy appeared that seemed to have just jumped out of bed and hastily took our luggage. As check-in was not until 3 PM, we went out to enjoyed the day. Came back a 2:50 PM and the room still wasn’t available because check-in was at 3 as the front desk person repeated. I would have hoped that 10 minutes to 3, the room would be ready… I was told to wait in the lobby. No drinks. No service. At that point I really was not feeling welcome. The tables in the lobby were covered in dirty cups everywhere. After 10 minutes, I go to the front desk and finally can get checked in. This is when I am handed a pass for public transports and a discount voucher for the ski pass. Would have been more useful in the morning that when the day was over. I then go to the room: no luggage. I had to phone the front desk to get it delivered. The view was as promised: gorgeous! The room however, very meh. It had a vibe of the early 90’s. Carpet’s colours washed off by the sun. Outdated furbishing, bathroom included. Cheap plastic ashtray turned upside down on the balcony that was covered in a fake grass carpet. Certainly not worth 660 CHF a night (ca. 700 USD). We had booked a massage a few weeks prior, lucky for us they changed our slot but we still had our trea**ent. Our friends however, booked in August and the hotel cancelled without any notification because a massage therapist was sick and they reallotted the slot my friends booked to someone else. The gastronomic restaurant was supposed to be closed but our friends managed to get a 7-course menu organized. We were all very excited but disappointed as the dishes got served. First dish was so small we thought it was an amuse-bouche. Then we had a mere soup that was so sweet, it could have been a dessert. And then a scoop of passion fruit ice-cream. I will not mention all the dishes, but the menu was really uneventful and unworthy of a 14 Gault & Millau restaurant. Also no explanation provided about the dishes when they were getting served. At that stage, we suspected it was not the food of the gastronomic restaurant, but they served us the same menu they were serving the night before for New Year’s Eve. Menu with wine turned out to be 230 CHF (ca. 250 USD) per person. Pretty hefty for what we got. After dinner we went to the lobby’s bar for a last drink. Again, the table was dirty and I had to ask the waitress to clean it. Check-out the next day was also very laborious with a guy with messed up hair, again, not a good image for a

This hotel can score 100 points. First of all, Grindelwald is the most convenient and most suitable place to stay in the entire Jungfrau region. This hotel is also very good. The bus stop is free of charge at the bus stop and free mountain bike rental. Although the pool is small but the scenery is invincible, the breakfast is superior to other Swiss restaurants. The parking space is sufficient and free. Except for the expensive price, the others are perfect. Oh, it is my problem.

The greatest hotel!! The location is so close to the station, employees are really awesome, the view from the window was so fantastic. They upgraded my hotel room from single to view room i think, the landscape from the window, The Eiger mountain was super fantastic. Amazing hotel, super recommended 호텔 싱글룸으로 예약했는데 뷰룸으로 업그레이드 해주셨어요! 싱글룸은 주차장뷰라서 걱정했는데 문 열자마자 아이거북벽이 짠 보여서 너무너무 좋았음. 비수기라 좀 괜찮은 가격에 이용했는데, 다음에도 또 머물고 싶을 정도로 좋은 곳임. 직원들도 친절하고 조식도 맛있음! 아 근데 호텔청소를 좀 일찍함 9시~11시 사이에 호텔청소를 하니 알아두시길! 호텔 체크아웃할때 직접만든 아이스티까지 주시더라구요 감동쓰

The rooms are good and upgraded. I booked a beautiful room and was put on the 2nd floor with an unobstructed view but the view was good not the best. I found this hotel cleaner than the others we stayed in in Switzerland. The front desk wasn't very helpful I found rude people, also we waited about 20 minutes at the bar before I had to get up and get someone's attention. Well located in front of the train. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

The Belvedere exceeded all I hoped for in the usual issues like cleanliness, friendly helpful staff, and assisting in planning adventures in the region. What went well above my hopes was the entire staff's attitude toward the dietary restrictions for my travel partner. There is no information concerning availability of gluten-free meals contained in Belvedere's information BUT I have never seen such a positive and cheerful attitude by a staff. If you are or are travelling with someone who is gluten challenged, you absolutely must stay here. Once we talked with the restaurant staff for the initial meal (dinner) they would have gluten free foods and options already prepared for every other meal before we could even ask. We will be returning to this area and will always stay at the Belvedere.

Eiger Lodge Chic - Grindelwald: I didn’t realize that the Eiger Lodge was located in Grindelwald Grund – Terminal, not in the heart of Grindelwald. Having noted that, I must say that our 7 nights at the lodge with a room and balcony facing Mt Eiger and sumptuous breakfast, I was happy for my mistake. The lodge is near the Terminal from where we purchased tickets and left via cable car for the Top of Europe – Jungfrau, and took the Mannlichen - Wengen cable cars, as well as the main Grindelwald Terminal train station. There is also a ‘shuttle train’ which runs between Grindelwald Grund and the main Grindelwald town. It’s also a few steps away from the lodge (on the other side). The owner and staff are very personable and very helpful. The lodge is an interesting mix of hostel and hotel. We were in the newly opened ‘Chic’ section. Waking up to those incredible views from our balcony was priceless. Their laundry facility is somewhat limited for the number of guests. Line-up is via the honor system – first come / first can use it. The Eiger Lodge also runs a nearby campsite (5 minute walk). Breakfast can be enjoyed inside or outside. The lodge has an outdoor restaurant (open evenings) with covered and uncovered seating. We ate there several times – good food / limited menu / cold beer. The lodge provides all guests with a free bus pass. We used ours to get to the town of Grindelwald, so we could take the cable car to Grindelwald First, where we also hiked to Bachalspsee and met the contented Swiss cows. Highly recommended.
