The staff speak good English and are very friendly. The whole Hostel is very clean and looked after, you can see there is some pride taken in the standard. Breakfast is a standard Swiss cold buffet including a selection in the likes of cereal, Muesli, Bread, Cheese,Luncheon Ham, Coffee etc, etc. I was very happy with what was offered. Offering... More

This hostel might well be the only soultion to fully enjoy the Swiss Alps at a reasonable price. Located just next to the Männlichen lift, it is warm and cozy, and offers accommodation for every occasion: 6-people hostel rooms for lone travellers or friends, double or quadruple rooms for couples and families. The toilets and showers are shared, but clean... More

Free wifi! Lovely communal area. Clean linen and comfortable beds ( we were in a quad). The showers do this water saving thing and switch off every few minutes, and the lights too. But the hostel is close to the train station so going to jangfrau is easy. The bus to town is free. The breakfast was just ok.

Great hostel, great view, great services, clean, refrigerator, grill, microwave etc for guests. Very helpful staff, good breakfasts. However, could be very noisy at night, though stopped by about 11 pm. Also, quite expensive for a hostel - however, I think that may be switzerland rather than the hostel itself - and definitely great service on every count - couldn't... More

I have stayed here twice before and I can't fault it. Its perfectly situated beside the train station or the local bus gets you into town in 5mins. Hotels in the area are very pricey so it was great to come across this hostel as the prices make Grindelwald an affordable short break, I've just booked my third trip there.... More

Staff were extremely helpful throughout the planning and the visit allowing us to fit the group into rooms with a degree of flexibility. As a hostel it worked extremely well, breakfast was sufficient and we took a group evening meal which was excellent quality and quantity and served efficiently. Location next to Grund station is a big plus.

Mountain hostel is a budget accommodation in lovely Grindelwald. 5-min walk from train station, from our 6-bed (3 bunker) room we can see snow-capped mountain. The only bummer is we only had sink inside the room as the shared bathroom is down the hall. Room is really basic, bed, closet, sink. Buffet continental breakfast was served, muesli, cornflakes, breads, milk,... More

My husband and I stayed here for only one night, although we wished we had stayed longer.The location is a bit far from the city center, but you cannot complain of the beautiful hike down to the valley where the hostel is located.A free bus pass comes with the room which was probably the cleanest hostel we stayed in our...

Great Value for money. Stayed in Feb 11 for a week. Exceptionally clean, breakfast very basic but nice. Took our own sleeping bags. Location couldnt have been better, short walk to one lift, short walk to the train, or a free bus ride to the town from right outside (with ski pass). When I say short walk I do mean... More

Spent 4 nigths there. The rooms are small and cozy. The view outside the window was very beautiful. When we went, the clouds came down to our window in the night. And in the day, you could see the tiny little houses on the top. The hostel is just besidea stream the sound of which keeps you away from every... More
