Decent rooms with good facilities/amenities and great view, although it takes a fair amount of effort to get there (Roads in the area are quite steep, something to consider if you've got heavy luggage). Otherwise, enjoyed my stay there!

10/10

The front desk staff not very friendly, a bit rude but the hostel itself is very nice with a million dollar view.
3-night trip

10/10

Grindelwald is such a pretty town so this hostel is the most cost effective to stay in grindelwald. Clean and good selection at breakfast. Only disadvantage is that it is located high up on the hill so it’s a steep treck up walking but bus also goes there every half an hour

10/10

Everything excellent, just to reach by walk is very steep path, better take bus 122 or 121 and there is a stop just by the hostel entrance.

I’m a 59 year old solo traveler that stayed here September 20-23, 2023. I basically had just one roomie that was super considerate and nice for the two nights. Bed was very comfortable and things were quiet during my stay. Breakfast was good and kept me solid throughout the day. Has great views from my balcony. All-in-all, I pleasant stay and I highly recommend.

Not sure if this is informed to guest.. but would be good information to share: - last bus from station - is a very very challenging steep uphill walk to the accommodation, esp. with luggage!
2-night trip

8/10

All great except: Checkin at 4pm is too late, TV should be moved to the next room with more comfortable chairs, laundry should be updated so don’t need coins, one kettle is not enough for whole hostel, fridge too small
5-night trip

10/10

The area is too dark from the car park, entrance and exit from the second building. No shower in the ground area only on 1st and 2nd floor.
2-night trip

10/10

This hostel was an ideal base for two nights for our activities in the Jungfrau region. The view from the terrace (and our room) was breathtaking, shower was powerful and hot (we booked a room with a private bathroom). It was a bit of a walk from town (steep but quite short) but very doable and the buses were handy (though be aware they finish early evening if you are in town for dinner/ drinks). Kettle and microwave also gave some flexibility with meals. Only downside was drinks were to be bought at reception which regularly was busy or unmanned (and when we finally found someone they had limited stock available), though if organised can pick this up in town.

8/10

Regarding the location, I can say that it’s not one of the most convenient one’s. But, worth just for the view. I would definitely recommend NOT to stay in a room with 6 people. The house is a bit old, so you keep hearing the floor cracking so it’s hard to sleep with so many people walking around the room. Other than that, the breakfast is good, staff friendly and place always clean.

성수기의 그린델왈트의 숙소를 구할 때 모두 너무 가격이 비싸서 가성비 좋은 유스 호스텔 더블룸을 이용했습니다 ! 식당이 매우 커서 예쁜 뷰 보면서 조식을 먹을 때 행복했어요! 객실 내에 드라이기가 없는 것은 단점이었지만 창밖으로 보이는 뷰가 너무 아름다워서 모든 것이 용서되었습니다. 다만 뚜벅이 여행자로서 올라가기가 굉장히 힘든 곳이라 버스를 반드시 타야 합니다. 스위스에서 밤늦게까지 놀 거리는 없지만 혹시라도 막차를 놓치면 매우 높은 오르막길을 오래오래 올라와야 하기 때문에 조금 늦게까지 일정이 있을 분들은 삼가하시는게 좋을 것 같습니다!

8/10

The hostel is not near to town but easily accessible by a bus (they'll give you a bus pass). The views are great though. Best to stock up food or have dinner in town before returning as the dinner (which you can purchase) isn't great.
