“Location is a major win, steps from the Grindelwald train station, making it easy to ditch the car. The mountain views, especially from south-facing rooms, are captivating. I appreciate the blend of traditional Swiss design with updated comforts, and the on-site dining is a definite plus for experiencing local cuisine.”
