Great stay in a great place

A good location, not far from the train station 10-15 min walk. Free bus ticket provided once we had checked in but didn’t really need it as we were happy to walk and take in the atmosphere of Grindelwald. A quiet time of year (Nov 2019) with a lot of hotels and restaurants closed and getting prepared for December and winter-rush. Still, we had lots of places to chose from. Grindelwald is an excellent location and more to do (non-ski) than Kleine Scheidegg. Also an easy train trip back to Interlaken if Jungfraujoch is closed due to weather extremes. We got to Jungfraujoch on the Sunday morning and although visibility not great on the day, it was one of the most amazing places we have been to. The people are great, extremely friendly and helpful - envelopes if our Swiss-German was not up to speed. The Steinbeck Hotel was great - food, room, pizza, and bar, Thanks to everyone

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property definitely caters for large tour buses, not the independent traveller. The rooms and hotel staff were as you would expect, but the affiliated Italian restaurant onsite that caters the breakfast fell well below expectation. The restaurant and breakfast area was infested with flies and, when asked to improve the situation, the restaurant staff shrugged their shoulders. Almost nothing was left for breakfast after the busses departed and what was was covered in flies. The hotel reception was responsive, but the restaurant aspect needs to be greatly improved.

Right next door to Grindelwald First cable car

Located right next to Grindlewald First cable car. Room was simple and spacious. Bathrooms were clean. Parking was free behind hotel. Hard to get in as parking was very full so have to be careful with reversing on a hill. No safe or kettle in the room.

Authentic Swiss Alps Hotel

This hotel is in a great location, right at the base of a gondola and above a popular restaurant and bar with great food. The staff and owners were super friendly and the breakfast superb. A beautiful setting with amazing views even from our bedroom windows.

It was one of the best hotels we stayed in Switzerland. We really liked the room. The only negative thing was that the WiFi was on and off though it wasn’t really a big deal for us.

Lovely small hotel opposite Eiger Mountain. There are larger hotels there but if you want a smaller with staff who recognise you thus is perfect.

There was to much light in the room.

It was giving a feeling that you are staying in a bed and breakfast hotel.

convenient for a Jungfraujoch vacation

The hotel is situated in Grindelwald, a town very close to the best parts of the Swiss alps, whether you choose to take the train up or to do a 10-hour round-trip hike like we did to see the Jungfraujoch, the summit of Europe. The hotel service was okay. The front desk wasn't always attended, probably because it's the off-season. Sometimes the hotel restaurant staff came over to help when nobody was at the front desk. People were generally very friendly. The room has decent heating, which is essential, but it could be a little hot and dry. Our room was spacious and had two bathrooms with a standing shower in one and bath tub in another. There were small packages of shower gel/shampoo. Very basic but should do. The water pressure was good. The beds were fine, but the pillows were terrible, felt like nothing was there. Both my husband and I had to fold it twice to be able to fall asleep. The room was clean. The neighborhood is quiet. It's not a luxury place, but for an average traveller it's just fine.

Great Location

Everything was great, the restaurant food very good and service attentive maybe breakfast could be a little more like the restaurant, but to be fair it was out of season and very quite, overall great value for money.

No View at all from the hotel

I hated my stay. This hotel DOESN'T have any views of beautiful Grindelwald. The only thing you can see from your room is another hotel's guest rooms. That's it. If you want to stay in Grindelwald please consider other hotels since there are many hotels that have a wonderful view from your room. Breakfast was included in your stay but there was nothing to eat.

Aufenthalt im Steinbock

Der Steinbock ist ein schön und gut geführter Familienbetrieb, freundlich und zuvorkommend! Lage zum OEV und zur Firstbahn sehr gut. Was uns weniger gefallen hat: Abfallcontainer vor dem Fenster, Parkplatzprobleme, dürftiges Frühstücksbuffet und 17cm Bildschirm im Nebenzimmer! Unbequem zum Fernsehen am Abend.Bis auf die paar Kleinigkeiten waren wir zufrieden!
