The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, check-in and check-out went really smoothly and I had dinner at the hotel's restaurant the day I arrived. The lady who showed me to my table (which had an amazing view of the mountains) was SOOOOO nice and helpful, she answered all my questions really well and gave some tips on eating their really good cheese fondue, which came with potatoes, bread, pickles and pickled onions. Throughout my meal, she also checked in on me occasionally to make sure I was doing okay and was so smiley throughout. The next day was Saturday and they offered free breakfast, which included if I'm not wrong: Dunkelbrot and white bread loaves, butter, blueberry and raspberry jams, chocolate spread, hard boiled eggs, fruit, coffee, hams, cheeses, juices, milk, yogurt, cornflakes, granola, and a large variety of tea! They also had a toaster so the bread was amazing after toasting it. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, especially the bread and cheeses! The restaurant is really clean and cozy overall and I really loved my experience here overall. Toilets and showers were also SUPER clean and I was pleasantly surprised at how modern and sleek the shower rooms were to be honest. They provided a top-to-toe soap which I did not use but it is nice to have :)

The dormitory rooms are not soundproof so I could hear the guests next door who were not the most considerate people and played music and videos loudly at night. It would also be better if the doors had locks on them but all the guests were really respectful of the space and people who didn't stay in my room didn't just barge in. It would be great if you could replace the curtains in the compartmented dorm rooms with solid lockable doors as well since it is a mixed gender dormitory. It would also be better if there were bedside power sockets for each bed because everyone had to go to this one corner right next to my bed where all the sockets were at to charge their stuff.

great value for the room and location, bus stop just in front. Had a tiny room with 2 beds just for myself which was great, with an unique view of the hills. Breakfast was good too and staff was kind answering questions. Also I had twice a good dinner in the place, It was really beyond my expectations

everything was good in my opinion, have nothing to complain for what I paid and what I got

The hotel is a beautifully maintained traditional Swiss building, full of charm and character. The staff were exceptional throughout our stay—always warm, friendly, and genuinely eager to help. From the moment we checked in, they made us feel welcome and well cared for, going above and beyond to ensure that everything was just right. The buffet breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options to suit different tastes. It was the perfect way to start the day Overall, this hotel combines traditional Swiss charm with excellent service, modern comforts, and thoughtful facilities. It is a property we would be delighted to return to and one we can confidently recommend to others.

The family room was big with two floors. My kids loved that. The restaurant dinner tasted very well. Front desk lady was very nice. During the busy dinner time, she still stopped and answered me questions. The room service young guy was nice as well. He helped me doing laundry. Another front desk guy with glasses was rude. Didn’t help at all. Besides the room had no AC. Making it hot to sleep in August. And the guy told me the hotel had no fan to lend….

The front desk guy with glasses The location of the hotel was a bit far from town

Breathtaking view from our window and a large outside terrace with tables and chairs just down the hall always open, even for stargazing!Wonderful old hotel with history and charm! Don’t expect luxury accommodations but if you want an authentic Swiss experience away from the touristy center of town this is the place. Short walk or bus ride to town. Delicious breakfast buffet and restaurant on site. Laundry facilities.Stayed 3 nights- not long enough!

Service not too friendly at front desk or in restaurant.

We chose this hotel in Grindelwald because of the price, it is an expensive place to stay. It's a bit out of town, a long walk from the station. The staff had already sent us info on the free travel card so we took the bus. The room was clean, and the shared bathrooms were kept clean. Breakfast was plentiful, and the internet was great. It was like staying in an upmarket hostel.

The beds were a bit hard and the room got quite stuffy at night, we had the windows open but that let in insects.

This is one of the most satisfying hotels during our trip in Switzerland, the environment is warm and comfortable, the temperature in the room is very comfortable, which can not be compared with other hotels in Switzerland. The location is at the foot of the mountains, and although we were not assigned a room on the side with a mountain view, you still get a great view when you step into the terrace. What surprised me most was that their food was very delicious, which broke my impression of Swiss restaurants.

The disadvantage is that there is no elevator, and I can only carry my 20kg luggage on the narrow stairs

The room was clean, spacious, comfortable, warm, and quiet. Comfortable beds. Windows gave a great view of the mountains. Appreciated having the ensuite toilet/shower. The breakfast included in the rate was sufficient - nothing extravagant, but definitely adequate to start the day, with nice views from the windows of the eating area. Hotel staff was friendly and polite, though we didn't see them much as the hotel was closed up for most of our stay (common areas of the hotel are locked up on Sunday and Monday, with guests accessing rooms via a separate stairway). Having the hotel closed up during the day was not a big deal as we were always out enjoying the outdoors all day long. Ate one night in the restaurant downstairs; food was delicious. Having the bus stop right outside the front door was super convenient for coming and going, not to mention that the municipal guest card provided free transit throughout our stay. Local buses stop around 18h30, so dinner in town means you're on your own for return to the hotel, but the walk is a relaxed and easy 15-20 minute stroll through the town, so not a problem at all. All in all, very comfortable stay and really good value compared to other options available at the time of booking (which was well in advance). For future trips to Grindelwald I will start here again when searching for/comparing lodging options.

Had not realized when booking that not all rooms have terraces (ours did not). Made no difference during our stay as the weather was mostly too cool to sit outside, but if coming in warmer months, I would double check on this point. Also, for our particular room, while the windows in the room gave a great view of the mountains, you had to sit in just one corner of the room to take advantage of the view. But this was really just a minor thing, as we weren't in the room much anyway. Again, these are very minor points in light of the excellent value for money that Alpenblick offered.

The hotel has some of the best views in town. Only a short walk out of the main centre, its elevated position gives a wonderful view from the bar/restaurant. The breakfast was generous and a great setup for a day in the hills. Fruit, yoghurt, cereals, local cheese and meat, eggs, good fresh breads, jams and strong coffee. Perfect! You can use the roof terrace or basement kitchen to eat your own picnic if you do not want to eat in the restaurant. Food was as reasonable and of similar quality to down town grindewald, so with that view it’s defo worth eating at the hotel. They also have a well stocked bar with good beers. The hotel send you a discount card which gives you free local bus travel and discounts in places such as the brilliant sports centre.

The dorm rooms are a little cramped. Luckily it seemed like they don’t fully fill each room so you have a spare bed to put your bags on. So to be fair, for the price, the dorm rooms are okay. I would stay again if returning to Grindelwald.

This is more a hostel than a hotel. They have dorm rooms, private rooms with shared bathroom , and private rooms without a shared bathroom (but with a sink) - we stayed in a private room with a shared bathroom. The pillows are pretty thin, but we doubled over to bulk up. Shower and toilets are separate from each other and clean, but fairly tiny. Our room was fairly big and ours had a great view. (Just above the bar). The restauraunt is closed on Sunday & Monday's - not a big issue as only a few mins walk into the centre. However, note that there are no places to unwind in the hotel The room was clean and has two power sockets + 2 USB A sockets which was lucky, as our adaptor didn't fit into the main plugs. The room has a safe, but no fridge/TV - not that we were expecting them. Great location, free parking, about 5mins walk from Grindelwald First and 15-20min walk from the station. Just to note, if buying train tickets it's cheaper to buy online than in person/at ticket machines. Continental Breakfast served daily between 6.30-10 in the Summer. A mix of cereal, cheese, breads and meats served The hotel is dated with wooden walls/panels throughout, creaking walls and not so much insulation meaning you can hear people talking/walking around, but for the hotel has charm that suited the location and the price was the best in town. The stay was great for our needs.
