Alpenhof

Almost Perfect Stay at Hotel AlpenhofAbsolutely stunning mountain view from the balcony of our suite. So breathtaking yet so serene. About 10 min walk down hill brings us to lively village of Grindelwald with all its shops n restaurants n cafes n supermarket. Cannot ask for a better location. Having said that, without a car, it can be quite challenging to take our luggages uphill to the hotel. Breakfast is another highlight of our stay. Fantastic selection of cheeses n eggs n bread n yogurt n everything. Delicious. Our suite is clean n comfortable n spacious. WiFi is stable. The only “negative” I have for our 4-night stay is that the glasses/mugs we used in our room were occasionally not cleaned for us after each day. It is a bit strange.All in all, I have no hesitation recommending this hotel to other travelers.

Clean, friendly, and an easy walk from the train (for an overweight 53 year old). Staff was kind, welcoming and helpful. Included breakfast was a great way to start the day. Rooms a bigger than your typical European hotel room. GREAT VIEWS!

This place is fantastic. We got the mountain view and it’s breathtaking. The lady at reception was so so friendly and welcoming and the man in the restaurant at breakfast was so polite as well. The rooms were very clean and comfy beds.

Such a cute little hotel right by Grindelwald train station! Only thing is that it is up a really steep hill, no joke to climb up while dragging your luggage. Rooms were very roomy and clean. They kindly upgraded one of our rooms to a bigger room, which was really generous. Breakfast was simple but satisfying and delicious. There were cows at the patch of grass next to the hotel, which amused us greatly. Would recommend.

Excellent stay in grindelwald. Very close to town (3 to 5 min walk), front desk staff were helpful with accommodating an early breakfast and sauna reservation. Room was spacious and well kept. Free parking.

Great place. Nice rooms, comfy beds, amazing views! Highly recommend this place. Breakfast was even included and staff very friendly and helpful. There is a washer and dryer you can use for a small fee. Would have liked thicker towels and more light in the room.

This hotel is a dream, it has such a gorgeous, overwhelming view to the mountains and the village ! The staff was so friendly and sweet towards our dogs, giving them each a bag of treats on arrival. The room was very spacious and clean and the balcony was wonderful with a gorgeous view ! The location is also perfect, just above the main street so that's easy to walk to and from but still in a quiet place to enjoy the tranquility of the mountains and last but most important.. surrounded by cows in the green fields !

Very nice classic hotel, good views, clean , warm, breakfast and coffee is just ok, we have to walk uphill for a short distance and not fun when there are snow and ice. over all good experience.

I stayed here for two nights with my girlfriend and 8-year-old son while touring Switzerland. This hotel is incredible! It's a little off the beaten path; just far enough from the crowds of tourists and up a hill to get a sense of quiet and solitude and offer great views, but easily accessible to the Main Street in town with just three minutes' walking. There is a surprisingly spacious parking lot out front given the tightness of the region. Our room was spacious, clean, with lots of storage space and a mini bar and fridge. There was also a bench and table with two chairs directly outside of our room to enjoy the view. The restaurant downstairs is excellent as well. Picture a Swiss chalet in the mountains and this is probably what you're imagining. Wood trim, fire place in the corner, giant cowbells on the walls, etc. the breakfast included was an excellent spread of breads, cheeses, meats, cereals, etc. We loved it and would recommend this to anyone staying in Grindelwald!

I Have always wondered what the hype was all about with cheese Fondues. I never understood it until I went to the source of the cheese world which is Switzerland. The cheese was just so creamy and full of flavor. And the bread as well as the meat when twirled inside the cheese, makes it's all moist and delicious as can be! It's pricy don't get me wrong however, we were in Switzerland so that makes sense. Service- 10/10 Ambiance - 10/10

We visited the restaurant based on our hotel's recommendation that they serve Swiss fare and we weren't disappointed. Our hotel stated it's off the beaten path and we'd avoid the throng of tourists. The restaurant itself was clean and orderly. We were the first ones there and didn't see many other customers, but I'm guessing it was because we were on American time and wanted an early dinner. Staff was super friendly and was happy to use a mix of German and English for us. We had beer and fondue. That's it and we were VERY happy. The fondue was authentic and the beer cold. What else can you ask for?

Such a cute quiet & quaint place to grab some great food. We got the alpenhof cheese fondue which was spectacular. As was the Swiss dumplings and chicken wings. The people that work there were kind and attentive. Even some guests nearby wished us a happy trip (they must have noticed our American accents)

Service was good but the burger I ordered was mushy and tasted bad. Fries were good and the steak my friends ordered was alright. I heard this place was five stars but other than the great view there's really nothing special.

The staff is wonderful, free parking almost unheard of in this town and it is SOOO dog friendly! After a long drive, me & my dog were pretty tired. They gave us gourmet treats for him and wine for me!! I dont mind the added cost of the wine because its delicious !! Beds are very comfortable. The terrace is great for dogs. The view is so beautiful. Another wonderful stay!! Thank you Alpenhof!!

Visited for 2 days July 3 and 4. Very nice hotel with decent sized clean rooms, over looking the town of Grindelwald and the Eiger Mountain. We lucked out and got a fantastic room where we looked out onto the incredible Eiger. What an amazing view to wake up to. Breakfast was good if typical Swiss fare... cereals, yogurts, cold cuts, a nice selection of cheeses and breads... Juices, coffee, tea, milk etc. all nicely presented by a friendly staff. It was included in our room cost. We had dinner one night here too. Schnitzel with spätzle was good, although I like my spätzle with cheeses melted through it, the way my Swiss mother made it (and now I do). Have yet to find any restaurant in serving it that way. That aside, if you're coming to Grindelwald consider the Alpenhof. I wish we could have stayed longer. .
