Derby Swiss Quality Hotel

We recently returned from staying a week at the Hotel Derby in Grindelwald, Switzerland. We were a group of 44 diehard senior skiers from the USA. Our hosts, Gunnar and Marion, and their staff, were FANTASTIC! They answered any questions and addressed all inquiries promptly. The hotel is THE place to stay in Grindelwald. It is a very well run property in all aspects. Clean, well maintained rooms, very good food and an excellent location. Although only a few steps from the town center, the area is not at all crowded or noisy. Aside from the property itself, the biggest plus is its proximity to the two railway lines. The local cog railway and the faster high speed line are immediately outside of the hotel’s front door. Both are electric, so no noise, and run on very convenient schedules. They are a classic example of precise Swiss timing. Since we have returned home almost every member of our group have asked how soon can we return to the Derby and the Jungfrau region. My answer has been, “not soon enough “!

Staff were excellent, as was the location to train bus and town.

Limited breakfast and not great dinner choices. Noise and staff smoking on the level below meant our room was full of smoke and noisy, plus too hot so needed the window open

Perfect location for skiing - very easy access to various slopes via train or bus. Our room was always kept spotless and very comfortable. The view of the mountains was lovely. Even though we also overlooked the train station, we were not disturbed by any of the trains which are all electric, so very quiet. The staff were delightful and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The management strive really well to create a family atmosphere and it is easy to see why people return year after year. The food was varied and interesting and very tasty. Breakfast especially was delicious. We will certainly recommend the hotel to our friends and family, and hopefully will return at some time.

La ubicación y el hotel excelente.

Todo perfecto.

An excellent stay here in early Jan. Good sized room with balcony and nice hot shower. Stayed on half board basis with excellent selection at breakfast and typical swiss cuisine for evening meals. Hotel have a very good a la carte restaurant . Nice bar area and good sized ski room with heated boot warmers. What is one of the hotels best features is its location overlooking the station and close to the main stop in the town which makes it very convenient for getting around. My room overlooked the station and did not notice any noise from the trains.

My wife & I have just had another superb short break at the Derby Hotel. This was our 10th visit which says it all! The Directors, Marion & Gunnar, are excellent hosts & we always enjoy our Eiger view room at the back of the hotel. All of the staff are attentive, friendly & helpful & as soon as the flights are available we will be booking for January 2027.

zentrale Lage und trotzdem sehr ruhig gutes Frühstücksbuffet

Warmwasserversorgung am Abend hat nicht ausgereicht
