I’d give this 11/10 if I could. Honestly, Grindelwald far outdid any expectation I had, but the hostel is one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. The view from our room was to die for, almost didn’t want to leave!

The lodge exceeded our expectations. Especially the apartment which was on the other side of the dorm rooms. Overlooking the ever flowing river stream and the Eiger Mountain peak, it was a dream to have stayed there. The proximity to the Grund station from which the train goes to Jungfrau was amazing. Plus the free bus service to the center of the town with the card from the reception. I would definitely recommend the place any time.

Probably the best hostel I have ever stayed in. Seriously. Location is incredible. Next to the main park, and next to a bus stop. When I arrived, in the check-in, the hostel provided me with a card to travel for free in public transport during my whole stay. The breakfast was simple but enough. Facilities were excellent. The kitchen HUGE. There are lots of lockers for luggage, everything was awesome.

Exceptional location next to the train station and within walking distance of the town center, but still a very quiet and peaceful place. Convenient accommodation for visiting the surrounding towns of Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, Murren, Wengen, Brienz...etc. Across the street is a Coop supermarket. Well organized and very clean hostel. Breakfast is excellent, rich and varied. Highly recommend, for visiting the Berner Oberland region. Iwould stay here again.

Super comfortable location - between the two stations; it's a walkable distance, but you can also take a bus (you get a free bus travel pass for the duration of stay! very nice). Easy registration, friendly staff that will also gladly help with picking activities that suit you. Good breakfast. The hostel itself is huge, and has basically everything you need - lockers, kitchen, fridge, rest area, laundry room... you say it. The facilities are clean and comfortable as well. I had a bed in a dorm room, and it was quiet enough - couldn't hear much from outside. The lockers in the room are tied to your keycard, which is nice. Satisfied with my stay!

Christoph’s warm hug and hospitality is exactly what you need after the hike up to the dormitories. Make no mistake, it is an uphill climb, make sure your heart can take it. If you have heavy bags, please take the last funicular up to Allmendhubel from Mürren before 5pm. We had no regrets, Christophe received us right at the door and brought us warm snacks when we reached. Excellent service, dormitories were spacious and comfortable for our needs, you may leave your luggage there. Highly recommend!

Henryk is a very welcoming host. The dormitory was really clean, and it is a great place to stay 15mins away from the city centre which makes the position of the hostel perfect - at a walkable distance from the centre, and at a quiet neighbourhood.

Great views. Can even eat outside on the balcony overlooking the snowy peaks. Lots of opportunities to mingle and chat with other guests. Away from the hustle-bustle of the town, but still within walking distance. I only booked here because the Interlaken Youth Hostel was booked, but I'm so glad it was, as this was a much nicer place.

So zen, comforting and cozy with panoramic views of the mountains. I am a girl traveling alone and it was the perfect safe stopover for me after a 14 mile hike. Staff was so friendly and helpful. It felt like they really wanted you there and cared about your stay. Hostel was clean and very comfortable. Hostel is about a 10 minute walk outside of Grindelwalds main strip, which gives it the calming charm I was in desperate need of. Breakfast was delicious too, prepared me for another long hike the next day.

Amazing views from the hostel. Breakfast was very enjoyable. I felt safe and slept reasonably well. I was surprised how diverse the age groups were of the other holiday makers.

Breakfast was delicious and had a great selection (and vegan/vegetarian options too). The staff were incredible helpful, and gave us great suggestions for hikes to do. The room was comfy and the hostel was quiet. The location was great as the bus stop was just outside and we were right next to the train station, which was convenient. The lodge’s restaurant was also good for a quick cheap eat. Also seemed to have lots of communal areas, pool table, etc if you wanted things to do.
