The place was beautiful and cozy, the room of 4 was really nice and some people might not like the beds but I LOVE them, they’re like futons and I slept so well. The views from the dining room are stunning and at night you walk either side and have amazing views of the mountains and the houses with their lights on. The staff really helpful and really nice too. I’m only sad I couldn’t stay for a lot longer. Coming back.

Breakfast was excellent with variety of bread, spreads and cold cuts, cereals, hot drinks. The fact that I could head out to the trails before everyone came on the first cablecar, and that you have the whole place to yourself literally after the last cablecar gone down. One of the male staff who speaks better English was kind enough to bring me around to explain about the place, codes, rules in general., despite the busy crowds in the restaurant, appreciated that (hope he enjoys his return to Austria!) The female staff are also friendly during dinner and although there was a confusion during checkout if I should pay on the spot or not, better that they sort it out. Shower is great, I had great company, sharing about their photography. Great place to stargaze at night, especially for someone from the tropics with light pollution.

Quite everything: from the spacious bedrooms to the commodious kitchen; everything you need is here. The hostel is just a 15-minute walk (or 5 min taxi) from the train station wengen with amazing views: you get to see a lot in the space of 15 minutes. Everything is clean, the host is very friendly, the place is quiet and very cost effective for all the services that it gives. There is a piano, baby foot and table tennis. Many benches outside too. You can even make a bonfire near the hostel. You won't be dissapointed :)

We enjoyed our stay at an incredibly accommodating hostel, complete with a picturesque garden and a pond graced by sizable fish. The highlight was the option to barbecue, an opportunity we naturally seized. We opted for a room with a shared bathroom, which pleasantly surprised us with its smart system. This intuitive system allowed us to control the lights and even set up music using an iPad, enhancing our convenience. The beds provided exceptional comfort, and the thoughtfully equipped kitchen elevated our experience. Additionally, the laundry facilities, available for a mere 8 CHF, were a practical bonus. Walter, the epitome of a welcoming and easygoing host, extended an immediate sense of belonging. We're sincerely appreciative of the warm hospitality and undoubtedly look forward to returning in the future.

All hostels in Grindelwald

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Henryk is a very welcoming host. The dormitory was really clean, and it is a great place to stay 15mins away from the city centre which makes the position of the hostel perfect - at a walkable distance from the centre, and at a quiet neighbourhood.

    Great views. Can even eat outside on the balcony overlooking the snowy peaks. Lots of opportunities to mingle and chat with other guests. Away from the hustle-bustle of the town, but still within walking distance. I only booked here because the Interlaken Youth Hostel was booked, but I'm so glad it was, as this was a much nicer place.

    So zen, comforting and cozy with panoramic views of the mountains. I am a girl traveling alone and it was the perfect safe stopover for me after a 14 mile hike. Staff was so friendly and helpful. It felt like they really wanted you there and cared about your stay. Hostel was clean and very comfortable. Hostel is about a 10 minute walk outside of Grindelwalds main strip, which gives it the calming charm I was in desperate need of. Breakfast was delicious too, prepared me for another long hike the next day.

    Amazing views from the hostel. Breakfast was very enjoyable. I felt safe and slept reasonably well. I was surprised how diverse the age groups were of the other holiday makers.

    Breakfast was delicious and had a great selection (and vegan/vegetarian options too). The staff were incredible helpful, and gave us great suggestions for hikes to do. The room was comfy and the hostel was quiet. The location was great as the bus stop was just outside and we were right next to the train station, which was convenient. The lodge’s restaurant was also good for a quick cheap eat. Also seemed to have lots of communal areas, pool table, etc if you wanted things to do.
