We booked this hotel after reading reviews on tripadviser in 2011 and was impressed by the results so we decided to go for it in May 2012 and what a choice we made.We hit the Jackpot with this hotel.From the moment we arrived in the pouring rain,we were greeted at reception by a smiling member of staff and when we...

Location stands out as superb ! If you think a hotel on a train platform sounds odd .... Then you're wrong ... This was the appeal of the hotel. 30 minutes stepping outside the door onto the train with a beautiful journey through the Swiss alps and you are at Kleine Sheidigg ready to ski! Standard rooms (north facing) are... More

We've just returned from a week's holiday in Grindelwald through Crystal Ski and the whole area has so much to offer. My wife and her cousin are skiers, and the husbands non-skiers, but we all found so much to do and all had a great time. The ski pass recommended by the Crystal reps covered all the trains etc through... More

My wife and i have just come back from our holiday in Grindelwald and stayed at the Derby for the second time. We did not think it possible that it could be better than the first visit but it was. The meals in winter time are fantastic (not that the summer time meals were not good) and the choice of... More

Much has been written about how the Derby is basically on platform 1 of Grindelwald station and how this isn’t a problem but I’d go further and say this is actually an advantage. Grindelwald is pretty much a town on a hill and every step you take from the station is a step up that hill. Having to carry your... More

My family have been coming to this hotel for over 20 years consecutively. We have been during both the summer and winter season and I'm not sure what is better. This is a wonerful family run hotel with great access to the train station to explore the local Jungfrau area in the summer and slopes in the winter. There are... More

We stayed two nights for a skiing trip. The room was quite traditional, fairly large with a view to the mountains. It was a little cold, but it was the coldest weekend of the year outside. The bar area was cosy and the breakfast buffet had a nice selection. Staff were friendly and all spoke good English. The location is... More

Just returned from a weeks skiing holiday. The hotel is in an ideal location right on the railway station (but not noisy). It is 1 minute away from local buses The family who own the hotel were very caring and the staff too. We had a bowl of fresh fruit in our room on arrival, mid-week we had chocolate and... More
