4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2012

Staff were extremely helpful throughout the planning and the visit allowing us to fit the group into rooms with a degree of flexibility. As a hostel it worked extremely well, breakfast was sufficient and we took a group evening meal which was excellent quality and quantity and served efficiently. Location next to Grund station is a big plus.

Mountain hostel is a budget accommodation in lovely Grindelwald. 5-min walk from train station, from our 6-bed (3 bunker) room we can see snow-capped mountain. The only bummer is we only had sink inside the room as the shared bathroom is down the hall. Room is really basic, bed, closet, sink. Buffet continental breakfast was served, muesli, cornflakes, breads, milk,... More

My husband and I stayed here for only one night, although we wished we had stayed longer.The location is a bit far from the city center, but you cannot complain of the beautiful hike down to the valley where the hostel is located.A free bus pass comes with the room which was probably the cleanest hostel we stayed in our...

Great Value for money. Stayed in Feb 11 for a week. Exceptionally clean, breakfast very basic but nice. Took our own sleeping bags. Location couldnt have been better, short walk to one lift, short walk to the train, or a free bus ride to the town from right outside (with ski pass). When I say short walk I do mean... More

Spent 4 nigths there. The rooms are small and cozy. The view outside the window was very beautiful. When we went, the clouds came down to our window in the night. And in the day, you could see the tiny little houses on the top. The hostel is just besidea stream the sound of which keeps you away from every... More

Just back from a holiday in Switzerland - spent 4 nights in a hostel in Interlaken & 4 nights in the Mountain Hostel. This was a nice hostel. Breakfast was very good, excellent choices - cereals, bread, cheese, meat, yoghurts, juice, coffee/tea. It was about a 10-15 minute walk from Grindelwald, beside Grund train station & Mannlichen cable car, rooms... More

A cheap hostel in a brilliant location, with private rooms available at a far cheaper rate than most other hostels. The breakfast had quite a good variety, with more on offer than you would expect. The showers were very, very clean and the receptionist really helpful. Plus they had free WiFi! The only two problems were - big groups of... More

Clean, functional, good breakfast, nice room if you compare to a youth hostel. 15 minutes walk from Grindelwald center so have a car or be ready to walk. We came from 8 hours hiking over Grosse Scheidegg and we were dreaming about a beer, so the choice was limited to the restaurant above the nearby bahnhof. A good hostel if... More

For skiiers the location of this hostel is brilliant, close to the train station to get to Kleine Scheidegg and close to the cable car to get to Männlichen. The rooms were ok, bunk beds and a sink which was handy, unfortunately we had problems with the heating, we just could not get it to work, so that was a... More
