Located in a quiet, but central area in Grindelwald, 350 metres from the Firstbahn and Männlichenbahn Cable Cars, Lehmann's Herberge Hostel offers accommodation in a traditional Swiss chalet, with free WiFi and free ski storage. It also features panoramic views of the local mountains.

Amazing view from the room and great hosts! It was just what we needed for a few days stay at Grindelwald. The location is central and allowed us to come back to the room in the middle of the day if we needed to freshen up. Felt like a home away from home.

Only 1.5 km from the ski lifts, this youth hostel is located in Grindelwald. The sun terrace and the lovely breakfast room have beautiful views of the Bernese Alps. Packed lunches are available.

All rooms at Youth Hostel Grindelwald have wooden furniture and offer nice mountain views.

I came here with my family and we had an amazing time. It was an entirely new experience and more than we could have imagined. Rooms are so clean and breakfast basic but yummy. If you have a large group, I recommend you use a car to get there.

Built in typical Alpine style, the Naturfreunde Hostel Grindelwald provides panoramic views of the Eiger and Wetterhorn mountains. It offers a large garden and free use of the internet terminal.

You can choose between private rooms and single beds in a dormitory. Bed linen is provided. Showers and toilets are located on every floor (basement, 1st and 2nd floor).

The place was beautiful and cozy, the room of 4 was really nice and some people might not like the beds but I LOVE them, they’re like futons and I slept so well. The views from the dining room are stunning and at night you walk either side and have amazing views of the mountains and the houses with their lights on. The staff really helpful and really nice too. I’m only sad I couldn’t stay for a lot longer. Coming back.

The Berggasthaus First offers simply furnished dormitory rooms with bright wooden furniture, shared bathroom facilities, a ski bar, and a lounge. Free WiFi is available in public areas and the guest house offers direct access to the ski slopes. Ski passes are not included in the room price.

Location is second to none. I loved being on the mountain after all the tourists left.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Charming property with a lovely staff. It has a great view and the location is close to the bus stop. Favorite hostel / hotel I’ve stayed at! Simple but good breakfast. A great value for the money.

Frigobar was always full and everything in there was free, they were refilling everyday. Coffee and tea available at the room. Everything was perfect.

    Everything was great! I had a separate room (thank you very much), lower bed. The dinner at the hostel was very very tasty, I recommend it! Clean, tidy and it was very pleasant to spend time!

    Fantastic restaurant for dinner; great breakfast (included); staff were very friendly and the hotel is in a great location, close to the train and amenities. They offered luggage storage with a changing room, perfect for after a day of skiing. The room was not huge, but big enough and comfortable for a family of 4, including a bunk bed large enough for a 17 and 12 year-old.

    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.
