Honestly, this was the second hostel that I stayed at and it was wonderful. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. I normally don’t ever do reviews but I had to do one for this place everything about it was perfect. And if you get a chance to get Klara as a receptionist, she was wonderful and answered all my questions.

Good location, but the rooms are really dated, the toilets/showers are really basic, the kitchen is really unpractical (no toaster, no oven or hob, just one microwave and a really small fridge for such a big hostel).

The guy at the front desk was very kind and helpful. I asked if I could switch rooms and he said he will check and then he was able to find another room for me. The rooms were clean and spacious. It’s also a great location, close to the terminal, bus stop, and train station.

I wanted to express my gratitude to a lady receptionist. I arrived early and stored my luggage in the baggage room and then put the key at the counter. I went to explore Interlaken and called to inform that I would be late for a proper check in and I needed to get the luggage from the baggage room which I didn't have the access to. She was really kind and waited for me, sorry to have kept you waiting.

It was okay, as far as low expectations for a hostel. The one toilet for women on my floor stopped working, instead of a sign, it appeared to just be locked, so women would stand there waiting.

Grossly overprices for what it is - a very bare bones hostel. We were told we needed to pay for towels and we needed to strip our own beds at the end of our stay. Fine, but not for 200 francs per night. We stayed in incredible hotels in Switzerland elsewhere for the same price (checkout the lodge in Niederhorn, for example). The rooms are outdated and simpler than pictured online. Think of a college dormitory from the 80s...smells a bit like it too. The shared bathrooms and showers are rather far from the rooms. The hot tub pictured looks as if it hasn't worked for quite some time. However, the location is very convenient, the breakfast is fine, and the rooms are clean.

This property is at an incredible location. But of course it’s a hostel with shared bathrooms. Property is clean including bathrooms. Gives a great breakfast. The prices are unbeatable.

We called in and had two twin beds a bathroom and air conditioner and they ended up putting us in their other side which was a brothel I'm 61 years old I didn't go on vacation to sleep in the brothel I was a little disappointed the room was fine but I had to walk clear down the hall to go to the bathroom I'm not sure if that was their fault or the booking site we went through but be careful if you went here to make sure you get the right side

This property is not suited for the family. Very unpleasant and not clean. The beds are old.

The hostel was overly communal. I had to share one outlet with my bunkmate. The voltage converter I have to use does not fit with outlets so close together. Their lockers also required a 5 franc piece which I could not be given as change or ask the reception for. Everyones phones also fell under the beds and the only way to retrieve them was with someone with a long arm.

My experience was very good. The location of the lodge is excellent, right next to Grindelwald terminal station. Room was very clean and staff was very professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend it to people.

Smooth late night check in with information package waiting for me. Nutritious breakfast for hikers. Very clean. Very service minded staff. Nice place over all very close to Terminal. Ticket for local bus to village included during stay.
Only downside would be the pulsating temperature in showers.

3 min walking distance to grindelwald grund train station and local bus terminal. Local bus is free if you stay here. Staff was super friendly and helpful. This place was the cheapest stay I could find. Air condition was not so great though.

In the middle of the building site for the new cable car, smell of stale beer in communal areas and construction site dust outside. Inaccurate room description on Expedia. We took a refund and stayed elsewhere.

I would give them 2/5 stars. You have to put on the bedsheets on the mattress, pillow case on the pillow, and cover on the blanket yourself. The bathroom and showers were only downstairs so had to go down everytime. Wifi is only available in the lobby so again have to go downstairs. Towels and such are not provided automatically, and when we asked for them, we got very dirty looks from the staff. Finally, we’ve been to other hostels in Swiss itself where bathrooms were on every floors, wifi available in rooms, beds were already made, towels were provided for each person, and price of the stay was less than this place. Therefore, I would not recommend this place.
Only positive was the breakfast was decent. Nothing great, just cereal, milk, bread, butter, jam, some sliced meats and cheese, but satisfying.

Hostel is located close to train and bus station (buses are free with guest card which one u get when u check in). For now is a little bit noisy cuz next to hostel another building is under construction. The price are reasonable like for expensive switzerland. Very kind and helpful receptionist , very clean showers and toilets. Old but comfortable beds. Wifi working good, u can use computer and printer, lobby is huge and with a lot of places to sit. Kitchen is outside the building and u can prepare ur own dishes. (we don't find any cups for tea :( Minus for payable towels and small choises on breakfast, no eggs :( but coffee was delicious. We will come again ;)

The hotel is pretty good and is value for money, however, it is of a 20-minute walk distance to the Grindelwald Train Station, but very close to the Jungfrau rail station.
It is quite interesting that they put the kitchen out of the building and I have to eat with the company of insects

Incredible! Very friendly welcoming staff, good breakfast with great authentic swiss feel, right by the river, outdoor kitchen and wood fired hot tub and hammock deck. Loved it!

Enjoyed our stay here. Room and common areas were clean and the bathrooms were good. Wifi was decent but mainly could only use it in the common area. Kitchen is located in an outdoor area which is nice in the summer. Note that the lockers inside the dorm room could not be used with a personal lock but instead required 0.5 sfr. Breakfast spread was also very good with cereal, yogurt bread, salami and cheese. Hostel pass giving free bus usage was very good for getting to grindelwald station each day

My wife and I liked this place just fine. We slept in bunk beds that were pushed together, so it was a lot like a full bed higher up. The wifi worked well. We got there late and there was an envelope pinned up by the door waiting for us. We would stay there again.

Poor breakfast selection, bathroom facilities on different floor than room, staff fairly friendly, location is great, right in the heart of Grindelwald.

Nice location where the bus stop just less 1mins walk;
Excellent breakfast provided;
The only thing is the wardrobe in the room will make noise when people passing by.
