For skiing on a budget you can't go wrong with staying at the Grindelwald official swiss youth hostel.Spectacular views abound from the balconies and quaint features inside make it feel homely and as good as any expensive swiss hotels. Preferably request to stay in old building which over the years has been renovated and is very clean and quaint. If... more

Excellent beds and facilities, despite the age of the chalet, interior is well maintained and some parts even looked brand new. Great balcony view from each room. Staff is extremely welcoming and friendly, and dinner was excellent. Too bad I missed the fondue on Christmas night. This is not your regular youth hostel as it packs in families with kids... more

The views, the breakfast, the dinner etc etc. So my husband & I decided to give this place a try. Because we didn't have advanced bookings, we ended up... more

I would say that while we were there (for 5 nights in August ) only 10% of people staying at the hostel were young, single backpackers. All the rest... more

I stayed with my husband and young brother in a Youth Hostel, as it is a very expensive country. I have stayed at this hostel before. The staff are very friendly and considerate and try their best to be of... more

We stayed two nights at this hostel and had a very positive overall experience. The staff went out of their way to be helpful, providing maps, making suggestions on hikes to take and when, and just being very friendly in general. The breakfast was great, with good quality food and lots of variety to chose from in the buffet. They... more
