Youth Hostel Grindelwald

Hotel badly located you have to walk between 10 and 20 minutes to get from the village and for people who ski the shuttles that go to the terminal are only every 30 minutes, the unpleasant owner who does not hesitate to block our rooms for a whim. I had to negotiate for 30 minutes to be able to enter my room. The owner doesn't like children and speaks to them unpleasantly. At Check-in I was able to take possession of my room only an hour later because the organisation leaves something to be desired. The owner charges 100chf for the loss of the key to the room. In short, I do not advise and I advise you to go elsewhere for your own good. The owner smokes weed despite the ban he put on the balconies.

Booked a room with a sink for three people for five nights. We were not expected to share with a fourth person as we were one family - thank you YHA. Huge room with shared single-sex bathroom/showers and a shared veranda across the back of the property. ||THE VIEW. A direct view of the Eiger and adjoining mountains. We took so many photos. This was surely the best view in the whole of Grindlewald. ||You are given a Grindlewald card when you arrive - this entitles you to free rides on the 121, 122 and 123 bus throughout your stay, and the bus stop is two minutes walk away to catch the 122 into the centre of town. You can walk, of course, on the signed paths.||Front desk very helpful. Many languages spoken and lots of items for sale (beers, crisps, noodles) and some for a deposit (use of the guitar, piano).||Thank you so much for providing a microwave - this made our Swiss experience so much more affordable. We bought microwave meals from one of the supermarkets in town and cooked for ourselves in the evening. So many people were eating the noodles, but we had quite a variety from Coop. There is a large, very clean communal fridge for your beers/picnic items.||One thing - no towels. Take your own.||This was a great place - so many things to do in Grindlewald and the free buses made them all the more accessible.||The view befitted a five star hotel.

Hands down, probably the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The facilities and food were superb and the location is out of this world. Fantastic views from the balcony and terrace below. Spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Top marks.

A great hostel at the top of the hill (I hiked it, but it's a pretty tough hike with 23kg on you; the bus may be more convenient) with beautiful views of the Alps. Clean beds, great amenities, and clean bathrooms. Some notes (not a knock on hostel's rating itself, but tips for a better experience): * Don't book the 7+ beds (where the beds are on the floor) and opt for the bunkbeds. If you sleep beside someone who snores or has bad body odor, you will have a bad time, especially if they start invading your space. * It can be chilly. Bring a sweatshirt

Located quite far uphill and far from train station, you will rely on bus 122 to reach / leave the hostel, which only operates until around 6pm. The view from the hostel is not bad, with quite a large outdoor area. The building itself is an old wooden structure and it is very easy to hear the noise from other rooms. Only two toilets / shower rooms per gender per floor but so far it is ok. Just be reminded that there is no individual electric socket for each bed and the lamp above the bed does not seem to work.

I got a very beautiful view after waking up. You have to climb up the hill to find the hostel. But, if you come before 6 pm, you can find bus that will stop only 2 minutes walking from the hostel.

Youth Hostel Grindelwald is cozy, clean, and welcoming. The highlight was enjoying breakfast with an incredible panoramic view of the mountains — a perfect start to the day! We had a struggle with parking since limited spots available and it’s better to book in advance with the hostel.

Pros: Breakfast included which is nice. Has good coffee and plenty of selections of foods. Rooms & bathrooms are clean. Water is hot. Views from the hotel is nice.Common areas really nice. Cons: At breakfast there is only 1 toaster which always creates a huge queue to toast bread. It seems really simple to buy another toaster to avoid this issue. The hostel is located on a hill which makes its access uncomfortable if you want to walk into the town often. Which most guests will since they probably don't have a car. The staff at the reception plays the weaponized incompetence really well. They "try" to help you buy they don't "know" anything. Straight up useless. Bear in mind if you don't book a whole room you will be put in another building to the side which is not the main building. It has 3 floors all by stairs. Rooms have only 1 plug which makes it really hard when you have room mate trying to charge their phones.
