Ferienwohnung im Grünen

When you want to rest and view one of the most famous mountains, here is the place for you. The location is outside the city, quiet, calm, and has very kind owners. There is fully equipped kitchen, wifi, TV with some apps, a lot of games for the children, beautiful neighborhood, with friendly dogs and cats, a lot of goats, cows and even wild mountain goats.

For some maybe too far from the city and the height of the rooms is a bit too low for me.

Ubicación de cuento en plena ladera de una montaña. Parece que estás en una postal. Bien equipado. Es una experiencia estar en una vivienda con una familia suiza, muy agradables. Vistas impresionantes.

Incómodo de llegar y las instalaciones están bastante anticuadas, el baño da miedo. El alojamiento forma parte de la vivienda de los propietarios lo que resta intimidad. Pero lo peor es la mala comunicación previa a la llegada. Teníamos alguna duda y sobretodo al estar en medio del campo es difícil llegar y no vieron los mensajes en semanas. Llegamos nerviosos por ese motivo. Muy caro para lo que ofrece.

The location is excellent for enjoying the fantastic surrounding views. The host was friendly. As many reviews have pointed out, Google Maps didn't provide adequate directions, but the car navigation system provided right directions.

The facilities were very old. In particular, there was something wrong with the door lock, preventing it from opening. The lack of immediate action made it very difficult to enter and exit. The living room and inner bedroom had very low ceilings. Anyone over 175cm tall would be at risk of hitting their head on the ceiling. The kitchen, dining area, and first bedroom had sufficiently high ceilings.

This property is not in Grindelwald town, it is high up on the hills overlooking the town. The description says you can walk to town, while technically true this is misleading. It takes 20mins downhill to walk to town, and it’s very steep. The walk back up would be very strenuous and take at least 40mims. We took a taxi and it cost us 40CHF. If you have a car and want to be out of town then the view is fantastic. But it’s completely impractical without a car. It’s also horrendously overpriced. You are staying in a basement of a house. The main bedroom is basically a cupboard with fusebox over the bed that barely fits a small double. The ceilings are so low it feels claustrophobic- I’m 5’10 and had to duck my head all the time. The lady who ran it was nice, and the view was great. But it is triple the price what it should be

The view was stunning but that is about it.

A few things have made our stay quite uncomfortable and disappointing 1- the accommodation is very far from the town centre. Unless you are a professional hiker, it’s almost impossible to walk to the accommodation. You certainly need a car to get there, so please factor in the car rent/ taxi into the budget 2- the accommodation itself is quite uncomfortable, the second you open the doors/ windows, an army of flies will come inside, this was extremely annoying and uncomfortable. The host, when we spoken with them about that, responded that nothing can be done about that. There was no interest at all to address this issue. I have seen in other accommodations I have stayed in very effective windows and door screens for flies, sprays etc etc - any least genuine interest to help you with a problem that can easily ruin your stay. We had eventually to close all windows and doors and bought insect spray which has barely done anything with the huge number of flies. It was very hot inside with no fans etc and no chance to open any door or window. This is very uncomfortable 3- all beds and pillows were uncomfortable. Event worse, there was a sofa bed, it looked flimsy and weak( very weak metal support at the head part). As we were five, we had to use it as a bed. I was very doubtful that this can be used as a bed. Aside of being extremely uncomfortable, I discovered after two nights, the metal bar at the head part was broken. I was not sure whether it was already broken or not. Anyway, I spoke to the lady and she asked me to pay 300 CHF for a new sofa bed. I am sure this one isn’t worth 10CHF if anyone agreed to take it. Eventually, she agreed to take 200CHF. 4- furniture or the apartment and toilet needs urgent and overdue upgrade. 5- the ceiling is very low and you have to be very very careful, otherwise, you may end up with serious head injuries

The location, the view is amazing!

The flies, the bathroom needs an update
