Central Hotel Wolter

We would highly recommend this hotel!!! When we arrived to Grindelwald by train, it was less than one minute walk to it. (about 30 seconds!) It is also opposite the area where there is many buses to the different ski areas and other little towns outside of Grindelwald. There is a ski hire shop just a couple of doors down from it. All the hotel staff we met were very nice, very friendly and helpful! The Hotel and bedrooms are very cosy and clean. They have a lovely restaurant downstairs. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast each morning! We would highly recommend staying in this hotel! There is also a very nice supermarket near it, just about 2 minutes walk from it. We have highly enjoyed each time we have stayed there. It is very welcoming and homely! We just feel so at home there! ❤️

We stayed from 4 to 9 Sept 2025 and were pleasantly surprised with our stay. Rooms were cleaned and fresh towels every day. Staff were so nice and helpful from checking to restaurant to room service . I needed a small screwdriver to fix my suitcase and it was no problem. Location across from bus and train stations makes travel easy. Close to shops and good for an afternoon drink and people watching. Food at breakfast and restaurant is excellent. Very happy to recommend Bert and Annie

We had a wonderful stay at Central Hotel Wolter. Our room was spacious, the bed was super comfy, the views absolutely breathtaking and breakfast was yum, but the restaurant food was truly astounding. A special mention to Lukas at reception who went above and beyond to make our stay a breeze. He was so kind, welcoming and incredibly helpful. His warm hospitality really stood out and made our time in Grindelwald even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area.

Perfect place to stay when the weather is cool and pleasant. The location and rooms are excellent, and the breakfast is quite good. It’s super convenient to go anywhere, and best of all — right across the street you get a breathtaking 180° view of the snow-capped mountains! 😍

This hotel will meet all your needs. I'd pay or atleast ask for a room with a view, as this really boosted our stay, the views from my hotel room were beautiful. Breakfast is basic, but does the job. Some staff friendly, others quiet. Rooms clean, and were fine. beds were great for me and had good sleep. If your in a wheel chair, hard mobility or have heavy luggage, the lift access is through the restaurant, pass the bar. Not sure how this is used later in the night, when the restaurant is closed, as this is the only way to access the lift (elevators).

Our reservation was for a standard studio room with a balcony view. We were 'upgraded' to one of the large apartments in the back building. The room had much more space, but no view. It also had mold growing in the bathroom on the ceiling above the shower. Clearly, obtaining adequate ventilation during cold winter days is difficult. We checked out early because of poor weather. The front desk was staffed by a very competent man.

Lovely hotel with charming room conveniently located in the heart |of town with magnificent view of the Eiger. Nice breakfast buffet with scrambled eggs. We ate twice in the restaurant at street level and the food and service were great.

I stayed at Central Hotel Wolter on my second night of a six-day hiking tour of the Bernese Oberland portion of the Alps. Even though it was not what I would call a "luxury" hotel, it would end up being one of my favorites for the week. This was due to the friendly staff, the attractive room (with lovely view), and the excellent restaurant. It was also very close to the train station, which proved useful when I had to return for some luggage (The staff were nice enough to let me store an extra bag in their luggage room for no extra charge). Breakfast in the morning was good, if a bit too crowded. But my dinner at the ground floor restaurant was delicious. All in all, if I ever return to Grindelwald, I would stay here again.

From Vegetarian's PoV Food: (1) Vegetarian Burger: so delicious and tasty. No fake meat (sietan or tofurky) actually veggie burger with veggies. So flavorful and fresh tasting. (2) vegetable cream soup: base has too much of a cauliflower taste. It's an acquired taste but with enough hot sauce the flavor is palatable. (3) Thet have a huge dessert menu with a 12 gelato/ice cream flavors and some 12 other dessert combos with ice cream & fruit combo. This place feels like they actually care about the flavors and end product of their food. We've tried many places in the city center area of Grindelwald and this one stands out to us. We'll be here tomorrow. Service: authentically sincere and prompt. Ambience: great with indoor and outdoor seating facing the mountain.

The spargel soup was amazing!! The salads were large with fresh ingredients and very filling! The bread was rustic and delicious, too! Thank you for a great dining experience!

Good food and decent prices for Switzerland. We really enjoyed the Apero Plate. The spring rolls, shrimp, and chicken nuggets were tasty and perfectly fried. I loved the sauce and pickled vegetables they were served with. Everything was a great combination.

The restaurant boasts excellent food and a delightful ambience. As a steak house, it takes pride in perfectly seasoned cuts. The tomahawk steak, especially recommended for parties of two, is a standout. Our meal included tableside carving, crispy French fries, steak-cut potatoes, and a generous salad. Our kids ordered the Fitness combo which included fresh fruit, large fresh salad, roasted potatoes and a choice of steak cuts. An excellent chose for a single person. Additionally, they offer fish dishes. The salads are fresh, and all dressings are made in-house. The attentive service ensures a pleasant dining experience. The price may be a little on the higher side, it's definitely worth it. While reservations are ideal, walk-ins are also welcome."

Expensive, took a long time, didn't taste good, and worst of all had a huge fly problem. My son Timothy was crying by the end.

This place is in the Swiss Alps, OMG!!!!!!!!! its in such a beautiful location. It's almost like a mountain top chalet. The place has a restaurant attached to it for all the tourists and for the guests. The staff was so nice and they have outdoor seating. The swiss arent really known for their beers but the chocolate in this country is amazing. I'd definately come back here.

Great filet (steak, 7~8 oz. or 200g) , fresh vegetables, and fair drink prices. If you're in Grindelwald this is a great dinner option with a patio (with radiant heat). Pricing is $$$. NOTE: This restaurant is inside the Grindelwald Hotel Wolter.

There weren't a lot of options when we were in Grindelwald, I think it was a holiday and many restaurants were closed. This place seemed busy, so we glanced at the menu and stopped in. There were flies buzzing around our head all dinner. The food was not tasty. A pesto pasta that was bland and oily. Bread not fresh. I'd look other places. To be fair though, our server was quick, responsive, and friendly.

We noticed this restaurant had more patrons than most so we thought we would try it and we are so glad we did! After starting in Amsterdam and travel through France and Germany including five days in Switzerland, this was the best meal we have had. I had the chicken and my wife the Asian salad and the dishes were beautifully presented and tasted even better than they looked. I cant say enough about how much we enjoyed the restaurant!

A great combination of location, price, food variety and quality. The service is a little inattentive but acceptable and the food tastes good. They have some exotic items as staples (first checked out five years ago) like kangaroo steak. The five stars are based on what the competition has to offer.
