Hotel Blümlisalp

Frühstück war super, vorallem die hausgemachten Sachen wie Käse, Marmelade, Butter etc. Auch die Kulinarik ist sehr zu empfehlen. Die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Die burig urige Einrichtung hat uns sehr gefallen. Die Lage ist spitze, direkter Blick in die Berge inkl. Gletscher, einfach total authentisch und super gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen inkl. genügend vorhandenen Parkplätzen direkt vor dem Hotel.

Leider sind die Matratzen für unseren Geschmack etwas durchgelegen ( Hängematte Gefühl). Beim Abendessen ist uns negativ aufgefallen, dass wir kaum Zeit hatten uns die Speisekarte richtig anzuschauen schon mussten wir bestellen (nach 2 Minuten) obwohl das Restaurant nicht voll war und wir früh genug dran waren. Und als wir dann beim Essen waren, wollte sie schon abräumen, obwohl wir noch voll dabei waren. Kaum abgeräumt wurde die Dessertkarte schon verteilt. Unter einem entspannten und gemütlichen Abend stellen wir uns leider etwas anderes vor. Es gab den Eindruck einer schnellen Abfertigung. Hätten gerne noch mehr bestellt, jedoch hatten wir auf den ,,Stress,, keine Lust mehr. Beim Frühstück wurde sich dann über andere Gäste/Touristen negativ bei uns beschwert, was wir sehr unkompetent fanden. Ein absolutes NO-GO in unseren Augen.

Fantastic views.

Absolutely stunning view from the balcony. Bus stop right outside. Traditional Swiss building.

Breakfast very minimal. Majority of staff were unwelcoming and quite rude to be honest. The one staff member who was nice to us kindly let us buy some fries to take up to our room for dinner, after which we were chased by another staff member and lectured that we shouldn’t be taking food to our room and given a lecture on not getting the room dirty, which was completely uncalled for. however it was stated by the kind staff member that there is no issues with eating in the room. Majority of staff do not have any or very little English just to make aware for English speakers (not necessarily a bad thing but makes it quite difficult to communicate) but I think they must treat you worse if you only speak English. There was also no kettle which was disappointing. Also no lift which makes it difficult with luggage. Bed and pillows quite uncomfortable.

A traditional and cosy 2* hotel located in the outskirts of Grindelwald. The bus to the slopes stops every 15' right in front of the hotel which makes moving around (during the day) very easy. Even more, there is a very nice red slope ending just one bus stop down from the hotel, which makes it almost a ski-in hotel. Facility-wise is what someone would expect from a 2* hotel. Not exceptional but still absolutely and spotlessly clean (a cleaner would come in every day), with great wi-fi, loads of hot water and good heating (we were there with -15 Celsius and harldy felt anything). The personnel is extremely friendly and pleasant. And the breakfast, although not extremely diversified, is very tasty with home made jam and tasty bread, croissants, fruit, cereals, ham and cheese, yoghurt and fresh butter and any hot drink someone would wish for (no eggs etc). Overall, and given the prices in Grindelwald, it was worth the money we paid for. Just last year we paid almost twice this amount to be tacked in an apartment in central Grindelwald, without any view of the mountains. If you don't mind the distance, the place is great.

Not very much of a problem for us, as we had our own car, but the bus service stops quite early (last bus from the centre is at 18.30). So, unless you have your own means of transportation, you have to either take a taxi (expensive!), walk uphill for at least 30' or stay and eat at the hotel restaurant, which might be a bit overpriced compared to other options we explored (but we are always in Switzerland, so...).
