Walking distance from the train station. But there’s a small hill to walk up. They have pizza if you are too tired to go out for dinner. Free sauna which is very nice on the cold days.

The hotel is very nice and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and the views are incredible. We don’t ski but for those who do this is a great spot. We couldn’t park on property because we didn’t install the snow chains but there’s a parking garage right across the street so it workout for us. I am extremely satisfied with their hospitality and I would definitely be staying again if I come back.

Charming hotel!

We had a wonderful stay at the Alpenhof. It’s charming, comfortable, quiet for sleeping, and all around a great hotel. We loved the breakfast and the staff were friendly and helpful. The walk up from the train station (very short, by the way) is a steep uphill. A little tricky in the snow but definitely worth it. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Swiss hotel in Grindelwald

Hotel Alpenhof if a beautiful, peaceful hotel in Grendelwald. We had a suite on the top floor with a balcony and a sweeping view of the mountains and green hillsides. The room was spacious and clean, with an handy minibar in case you want to have a beer on the nice deck, and tastefully decorated in Swiss style. The restaurant offered good Swiss food and a nice breakfast buffet. Staff were very nice. It’s right up the hill from the train station, so very convenient. They will pick you up if you don’t want to walk up the hill with your luggage upon arrival. We loved this place and highly recommend it.

This is a perfect Alpine chalet style hotel with excellent service from all the staff. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast with a good selection of breads, cheese, fruits, etc and dinner in the restaurant was terrific. The hotels WiFi was fast and few perks for travelers were the washer/dryer, parking, sauna, etc. We would stay here again and recommend it to our friends. Our only minor complaint is it is a little tricky to find using GPS so a few more signs would be helpful! Love this place!!!!!!
