Property offered a great price, quite easy to find & located in convenient walking distance of village shops & amenities. Staff we're punctual, welcoming, helpful & everything was organised. Room was kept in good order daily, though would be better if can be equipped with a fan / air conditioning system. Breakfast buffet is served daily & offers a good selection. Recommend sitting on porch to get view of mountains. Overall a great place to stay when visiting Grindelwald. Danke

We liked the staff, especially Christina, who treated us very nicely, responded to questions to the best of their ability, and was pleasant and welcoming. The breakfast was awesome. The windows from some rooms and breakfast area overlook the Eiger Mountain and the Glacier. Our room did not. Amenities within the room can be improved. The shower curtain was too small and made it difficult to prevent splashing of water outside. One other problem is the steep slope to get to the bus station. For an elderly or disabled person, this could present a problem. Overall, we enjoyed staying at this hotel in Grindelwald.

Fantastic Views
Great hotel in Grindelwald. The staff was very friendly and the complimentary breakfast was very good. We had a fantastic view of the Eiger and Monch mountains that captivated us. I suggest requesting a room with a view of these mountains as opposed to the other side that looks towards Mount First. That side isn't bad, but the view towards Eiger and Monch is fantastic. The mountains feel close enough to touch. It's a 15 to 20 minute walk to the main train station, but there are also buses that make it easy to get around.

Beware of Bed Bugs
Unfortunately, the room assigned to us was infested with bed bugs. We also learnt that another room below ours suffered the same fate. While we were given another room, the entire stay was affected as we needed to take a lot of precautionary measures to prevent our items from getting infected. The overall upkeep of the room was generally satisfactory, but it was old and dated.

Overall hotel Residence was excellent and we would definitely go there again.

We found the Residence to be adequate and worth the gorgeous views and proximity to a bus stop and some dining options. While the aesthetic is dated, our room was sufficient and clean. My only suggestion would be to add some thicker curtains or blinds as the headlights from cars did shine into our room quite early each morning (around 5:00 am). Our room was situated on the back of the building. The staff was friendly and this hotel is perfect for anyone who doesn’t plan to spend the whole trip in the room.

The whole property needs to be renovated. From the carpet to the faucet in the bathroom looked as if they were from the 60s. The breakfast was great and the view from our terrace was amazing.
