Grindelwald Hostels

Good morning, We spent two nights in this hotel, during a small ski stay. We had a family room with my wife and my two girls adolescents, the room is large enough and the spacious bathroom also, The young woman who welcomed us was very sympathetic and made the effort to speak French. The hotel has a very good breakfast, there is also a parking underground at €15 per night, the last day we could leave the car until 15:00. The hotel is ideally located near the tracks and shops, not need to touch the car during the stay.

The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from Grindelwald Train Station and can be reached by bus; the hotel is opposite the First Peak Cable Car terminal, which is very convenient. The hotel room is small, free drinks are available at the mini bar, and it's quite clean. Maybe because there are many tourists and tour groups, the waiters feel a little tired and not very enthusiastic. The restaurant downstairs of the hotel is okay.

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!

From the moment we arrived by train…and walked the 400 feet from the train to this hotel, we knew we were in the right place at the right time. This hotel feels traditionally Swiss, with a spa, pool, and food offering that is decidedly modern. Perfectly located for awesome day trips to the surrounding areas. Our room was clean and spacious. The huge bath tube saved the day after many of the hikes we took from this location, central to the JungFrau region. Reservation and check-in was super easy. The front desk team couldn’t have been more professional, welcoming, and ready to help make our trip the best it could be. Special mention goes out to Andras….Front desk guy, and our favorite concierge of all time. Every morning, I would go to Andras and say, “Andras, today we’d like to go to (fill in the blank with a typical tourist trap)” He would say, “No you don’t. You’ll have a much better time (insert amazing, fun-filled, off-the-beaten-path adventure.)” It happened every day and we had a blast. He was able to read our energy, and give us perfect suggestions! Thank you Andras and Miriam (who also made us feel right at home) Breakfast was to die for. Although there were quite a few very large tourist groups, the hotel gave us independent hotel guests a more private and quiet space. We ate our evening meals that the hotel as well. It was never boring or repetitious. One night Raclette in the cozy bar area. Another night in the main dining area. Our favorite night was in Restaurant Schmitt, enjoying a chef’s course menu. Executive Chef Markus Handau, prepared an innovative and creative symphony of courses. Each one more exciting than the last. Our favorite servers, Gabriel and Julio made every meal enjoyable! They were friendly and authentic and told us stories of their own day-to-day lives in Switzerland, even though home was Brazil and Portugal. The Spa team were amazing as well. They kept the facilities neat and clean. And I had a terrific massage the day we arrived. It was also so nice to go to the Wednesday Night Summer Streetfair while staying here as well. We will definitely return to this Swiss classic!

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 hotel stay was wonderful and exceptional and my family and I are particularly amazed with the Swiss hospitality provided. Every staff member is so friendly. I also want to give a special shoutout to Jana. Tourists and travellers planning to make a base between Lauterbrunnen, Interlaken or Grindelwald - look no further. This hotel has everything you need. The rooms are amazing for value and very comfortable and the breakfast provided by the hotel is on another level in terms of the quality of offering. There is literally nothing to complain about the room and we regret we didn't stay as many days in Grindelwald. The location of the hotel is 5 minutes walk from the First Mountain station and located strategically in the middle of the town. To top it off, the hotel is coupled with Restaurant Barry which in our opinion provides one of the best meals you can have in Grindelwald and the pricing wise is standard and comparable to other establishments around the area. Since we drove as well, tourists and travellers would be delighted to find that the Hotel provides ample parking space which is charges ~30 CHF (please check with the hotel). All in all, 5/5 will definitely return during winter season.
