Very pretty view, breakfast included, and easy access to bathroom/showers. My only complaint: There was only one charger outlet in the corner of the room (to share between the four of us). It was somewhat coming off of the wall. And the charger near the sink didn’t work for me. But overall, wonderful stay! Would recommend.

The Good: Great breakfast and view. Large rooms The Bad: poorly lit area between buildings. Lots of stairs involved to access some rooms and reception. Property "landscaping " was wild and unkempt. Lots of weeds. No fans and windows barely open. It lots of gravelas hot. Tiny bathroom sinks. Could not fill water bottle in the one near my room. One operational shower for females between 2 floors. No frosted window in shower area. You might flash a bicyclist or two! All rooms are mixed. The Ugly: I did not know the bus stopped running at 5 pm.The climb up is at a 45 degree angle. Half the path is steep uneven coarsely graveled steps. Unlit at night. Getting a bus or taxi ($20) is highly recommended.

Beautiful location with some incredible views and vistas. The rooms are comfortable but with hot weather outside the rooms do get quite warm and uncomfortable at night. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff super friendly. The front desk closes late morning to late afternoon which is a problem if your travel plans are delayed. The property is about a 10 minute bus ride or 20 minute walk from downtown which makes it nice a peaceful. The walk up is steep but not that bad (unless you have rolling luggage). Overall a wonderful experience!

Awesome experience staying at this hostel. The reception manager was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area. He explained the amenities and the processes of the hostel very clearly. This place also provides guests with a Grindlewald Guest Card. Extremely professional staff, great food and awesome location.

It takes a few minutes to get there by bus from the train station, and it quits running around 500, but even if you have to walk up, its OK if you're traveling light...and know the direct path. If not, just ask. Nice folks everywhere, or follow GMaps.

This property was great except when I tried to check out there was no clear spot to leave your key and I had to check out 30mins earlier than when reception opened. I asked a man that came out of reception where to put it and I was subsequently yelled at. He said “can’t you see, I’m in my pajamas”. Seeing that I wasn’t asking any big favor and how was I to know he wasn't working. He could’ve just told me where to leave it and continued. Other than that, this place was great.

The area is too dark from the car park, entrance and exit from the second building. No shower in the ground area only on 1st and 2nd floor.

The front desk staff not very friendly, a bit rude but the hostel itself is very nice with a million dollar view.

The hostel is not near to town but easily accessible by a bus (they'll give you a bus pass). The views are great though. Best to stock up food or have dinner in town before returning as the dinner (which you can purchase) isn't great.

All great except: Checkin at 4pm is too late, TV should be moved to the next room with more comfortable chairs, laundry should be updated so don’t need coins, one kettle is not enough for whole hostel, fridge too small
