"It’s up the Grimsel pass about 6 kilometres from Innertkirchen, had a decent spaghetti bolognaise, there’s millions of flies sharing it if you sit outside , it’s not the hotel at fault it’s just Switzerland. Room had a sink in it , nothing else , one shower room and toilet , 13 rooms on the floor we were on , I cannot say how many of these 13 rooms had en suites , if they do not then one shower and one toilet is not enough, £140 for the room is pushing it"
"Can’t really say enough about this place . So charming , so well kept. The breakfast was absolutely amazing. The view unbeatable. The staff was so kind and helpful . Yeah this place is a 10+ kind of place ."
"The hotel is in a very central area which makes it good to get to places. Whilst my room was modern, it was tiny (I booked a single room). The cover on the light switch kept falling off, the breakfast was terrible, with nothing left at 9am. The staff flapped when challenged about this and you’d then have to wait 20 mins while they got more food."
"This stay was disappointing from all other hotels I booked around my Switzerland trip. Customer service wasn’t that great. If you are lucky then you get a good view room. Breakfast didn’t have much choice, just an okay place. Rooms didn’t even have any updated features, it was more of classic style without even a plug point for usb or usb c. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are traveling from USA."
