Guest Reviews

• Mariam (9/5): -
• Estelle (10/5): Très calme paisible et chaleureux. - Tout était super ! Rien du tout !
• Aaron (9/5): Maisemallinen ja viihtyisä majoitus - Majoitus oli todella viihtyisä, ja henkilökunta oli mukavaa. Aamupalatarjonta oli hyvä. Huoneeseen jäi helposti painava ilma, kun oli vain yksi pieni avattava ikkuna.
• Olga (9/5): Дружелюбие и содействие персонала. Отличное сочетание цены и качества - В хостеле 2 корпуса. Я жила в новом. Простой, но сытный завтрак: йогурты, хлопья, хлеб, вкусные колбасы и сыр. Ужин (за допплату) скромный по содержанию, но сытный: суп (или салат) + большая порция основного блюда + десерт. Номера просторные, белье чистое (полотенце не дают, берите свое). Шкафчик на ключ запирается при депозите в 2 швейцарских франка - нужна именно монета, без нее шкаф не закроется, у меня монеты не было, но на ресепшн мне ее одолжили. Также на ресепшн мне дали а пользование переходник для розетки для зарядки ноутбука. Общие санитарные зоны очень чистые!!! Расположение - немного на высоте, можно доехать 3 остановки на автобусе от вокзала или пешком минут 20 в гору. Но зато вид из окон и на улице волшебный, и птички поют. Бронировала номер в женской комнате. Однако на вторую ночь к нам без предупреждения заселились мужчины.
• Jhung Whoo (10/5): - 가격에 비해 넘 좋아 👌 ?.
• Sophie (9/5): Was such a cozy place with an amazing breakfast in the morning! - Amazing view Nothing
• Suchart (8/5): Nice Hostel - Good mountain view Free breakfast Parking is available with fee 2 washrooms but only 1 washroom can be used. Another washroom was locked.
• Elsa (9/5): - Superbe Auberge de jeunesse ! Chambres et terrasse donnant sur les montagnes. Accueil au top et délicieux petit déjeuner.
• David Santiago (10/5): Inolvidable - La atención fue muy buena, las habitaciones cómodas, aparte la ubicación con esa vista estuvo excelente, el desayuno delicioso y muy completo Depronto que no se pudiera prender la chimenea de la sala
• Oneill (10/5): Amazinguhhhhhh - It was splendid
• Ankita (8/5): -
• Madeleine (10/5): Uplifting views and walks nearby. - The staff were really friendly and helpful giving us info like bus times. One staff member told us about the new Glacier Canyon visitors’ centre, that had just opened , which was excellent. The food was delicious and evening meals very cheap. The views are fantastic. Everything was very good .
• Wu (5/5): - friendly staff, Nice view. There are bed bugs!! 有床虱
• Nóra (10/5): -
• Frederike (10/5): Bestes Hostel in dem ich je war - Also erstmal vorweg das ist mein neues Lieblingshostel. Alle Mitarbeiter*innen sind super freundlich und hilfsbereit gewesen. Das Haus an sich ist sehr cozy und mit vielen kleinen Details eingerichtet, an denen man merkt es hat sich jemand Gedanken gemacht und wollte, dass Gäste einen möglichst angenehmen Aufenthalt haben. Von der Bücherecke bis zum PingPong Tisch, dem Klavier und dem Kamin war alles sehr toll. Die Lage war fantastisch, wahrscheinlich der schönste Ausblick den ich je zum Abendessen hatte. Das Abendessen war beide Abende super lecker und nach einem anstrengenden Wandertag auch absolut genug von den Portionen her. Das Frühstück war ausgewogen und es wird sogar lokal eingekauft!! Mein Zimmer hatte Zugang zu einem gemeinschaftlichen Balkon von dem aus man toll den Mondaufgang und die Sterne anschauen konnte. Die Betten und Zimmer waren gemütlich und sauber und ich habe mich dort sehr sicher gefühlt, was als alleinreisende Frau echt viel wert ist. Die Gemeinschaftsbäder waren auch sauber und das Warmwasser hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Für den Preis unschlagbar. Insgesamt eine tolle Erfahrung!! Kann ich nur jedem empfehlen! Nichts, alles war toll!! Würde jederzeit wiederkommen.
• Washihara (8/5): かなり登るが、その疲労を上回る景色と設備の良さだった。 - 内装が木組の小屋で別荘にいるように感じられる。朝食も宿泊料金に含まれているのでお財布に優しい。かなり登るのでその分景色が素晴らしい。 ドライヤーがなかった。スタッフに聞けばあるかもしれない。駅からここまでの道のりがかなり険しい。グーグルのマップの言う通りのルートで行くと痛い目を見ます。
• Shajeer (10/5): -
• Quentin (9/5): -
• Ewan (9/5): -
• Rosa (10/5): - Un lugar cómodo, con buenas zonas comunes y un gran balcón en la habitación con vista a la montaña 🗻. Aunque las personas de la administración no hablan español, se esfuerzan por entenderte y ayudarte con la información. Muy buen desayuno, bastante variedad. Todo estuvo bien.
• สมัญญา (4/5): -
• Chaoyu (9/5): 很好的酒店，住客们都很友好，早餐和晚餐都还不错，风景宜人。 -
• Noah (10/5): -
• Mike (9/5): Great little place, best views - Spotless, beautiful chalet, with a nice garden. Great breakfast and amazing views. A bit far to walk from center but there are busses
• Rocio (8/5): -
• Tim (5/5): -
• Mooshimy (8/5): - The location Same breakfast for the whole stay
• Kouassi (7/5): - Emplacement calme, Forte montée pour s’y rendre. La chambre était confortable et literie agréable. (chambre avec salle de bain privative) Le petit déjeuner était très copieux RAS
• Sarah (8/5): - Views and staff
• Júlia (10/5): -
• Lacerda (9/5): -
• Damiana (10/5): - sehr gut, tolle Lage! gute Essensoptionen für das Abendessen, schöner Gemeinschaftsraum, mit Bergsicht nichts, war für eine Jugendherberge genau richtig
• Guest (6/5): -
• Patrick (7/5): Für einen kleinen Aufenthalt in den Hochalpen genau richtig. - Preis für eine Übernachtung war für Schweizer Verhältnisse günstig. Es gibt einen Gästekühlschrank, in dem mitgebrachte Speisen und Getränke gelagert werden können. Ausstattung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber immer noch funktionell. Der Blick auf die Berge ist atemberaubend. Frühstücksbuffet ist völlig ausreichend und nicht übertrieben. Sehr steile Anfahrt
• Geordy (10/5): -

• Gilberto (10/5): -
• armelle (10/5): Très agréable, très bel emplacement et personnel très accueillant et professionnel - chambre spacieuse, confortable, très bien située, propre, calme. Vue magnifique. Parking tout à côté et bien pratique. Salle pour déposer les skis bien située. Accès dégagé très rapidement lors des épisodes neigeux. Petit déjeuner bon et complet. On a apprécié le houmous, les fromages blancs avec ou sans fruits, les différentes variétés de pain et biscottes et la charcuterie. Un plus pour les laits végétaux ! Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
• Sheng Wen (9/5): - 早餐自助式非常豐盛 位置離車站有點距離，而且在山坡上，附近生活機能不好，要搭公車到車站附近採買，下雪時行走不方便
• Julian (10/5): - Great location and staff Good value for..money
• George (10/5): Incredible. - Food was very good, staff very friendly and helpful, very clean. Unreal views. Amazing vibe about the whole place. I can’t name anything I didn’t like.
• Yuhi (7/5): -
• Jaime Andres (9/5): -
• Cristina (8/5): Was very pleasant, would go back - Was clean, fresh breakfast. I was in the second house was well kept and also rather new. Staff very friendly. Sufficient hangout areas, fridge at customer disposal, drinks and snacks available. There was nothing I didn’t like. Only for those that like to be close to the center there is a 20 min walk to consider.
• Simon (10/5): Ich habe mich gut erholt. - Tolle Begegnungen und lebendige Stimmung
• Alfons (8/5): -
• Mareike (10/5): -
• Adriana (7/5): Muito confortável e uma vista Impecável. - Equipe muito querida, pessoas no quarto também! O chuveiro é muito bom e, se precisar, eles possuem secador (basta pedir na recepção). O café da manhã é ótimo, com horários muito bons! A localização, caso você chegue tarde, não é favorável. Tem que subir a montanha para chegar até o hostel e com as bagagens e gelo fica complicado, no entanto, se chegar antes das 19 você pode pegar um onibus, que te deixa quase na porta do hostel.
• Lesley (9/5): A most enjoyable stay and I would be very happy to return - Friendly, helpful reception. Very clean. Excellent breakfast ( included) and a good value for money evening meal available. The hostel was busy but with a pleasant atmosphere and guests of all ages. My room was generously sized for one as was the shower room. A hostel so not luxurious but comfortable. The view from my room was exceptional - I don’t think I’ve ever had a better one. Nothing - everything good
• Buyle (9/5): Ideale locatie voor een shortski in een van de mooiste bergomgeving van Zwitser - Authentiek, mooie herberg Eenmaal een koude douche
• Shimada (8/5): - 景色がとても良い。 スタッフが優しく、温かい。 部屋やベットが十分広い。 偶然だと思われるが、宿泊した部屋の清掃が一部行き届いていなかった。(机の上に前の宿泊者の汚れが大部分に残っていた) それ以外は、設備としてはやや古いが、清掃はしっかりとされている。
• HUIMIN (10/5): 非常棒 - 风景，环境 房间地板咯吱咯吱响

• Hugo (8/5): -
• Andrea (8/5): -
• Carmen (10/5): Es un hostal muy cómodo - El desayuno es muy bueno y la limpieza súper Que el baño es compartido pero es muy limpio
• Raphaël (8/5): Très bien - Belle vue sur le Eiger Il manquait peut-être des viennoiseries + de la baguette pour le petit déjeuner
• Cornelia (9/5): Ideale Unterkunft, wenn man es etwas einfacher möchte. Wir kommen wieder. - Gute Austattung, sauber, leckeres Morgenbuffet, sehr nettes Personal Ohne Auto ist die Unterkunft mühsam zu erreichen, sehr steiler Aufstieg.
• Guanhui (8/5): 很好 - 早餐很好，窗外景色很美 在山上，每天早晨得掐点跑到火车站，晚上得自己爬山
• Yuki Samsul (8/5): - Kami Breakfast dengan pemandangan gunung bersalju terlihat dari jendela.
• Alexandra (8/5): Great location, but the hill is super steap! Would stay again though - Great location, super nice staff. Beautiful views. Only a kettle and microwave + fridge. No area to really make meals. The hill is very steep and the bus stops at before 7pm every night.
• Shkolnik (9/5): -
• Jenni (10/5): - Has character, great views, friendly staff, delicious breakfast We got assigned with men in our room (we’re females), but we got free dinner for the change so that was nice.
• Aisyah Binti (8/5): So far so good and worth the money - Near the main attractions On top of the high hills but understandable
• Chuan Fu (10/5): -
• Esra (8/5): - Konum, temizlik, manzara, park alanı Çalışanlar biraz daha güler yüzlü ve yardımsever olabilir

• TAI YONG (8/5): 그린델발트유스호스텔숙소후기 - 렌트카 가족여행으로 비싼 스위스물가때문에 가성비숙소를 찾아서 미리 한국에서 예약하고 갔는데 방문해보니 사진그대로 위치도 좋았고 시설도 좋은편에 속해서 만족했습니다. 특히 조식도 좋았고 주차도 바로 옆에 할수있어서 좋았습니다.

• Viviana (8/5): Fue lindo despertar frente la montaña 😍 - Tiene vistas increíbles ⛰️👌🏻
• Siyu (10/5): -
• 장민지 (9/5): - 4인이 묵었는데 방도 크고 좋았어요 깔끔하고 직원분도 친절하심 마당에 고양이가 있어요!!! 진짜 산중턱에 있어서 버스 없으면 왔다갔다 하기 힘들지만 짐없으면 역까지 못걸을 정도는 아니고 대신 뷰가 끝내줍니다

• Madeline (8/5): Great views! - The terrace area was absolutely gorgeous when the sun is out. Perfect for reading and relaxing. Get the bus from the town as its a very steep walk. Lovely to walk down though. There is als9 a very cute and very friendly cat. There is no smoking allowed on the terraces joined to the rooms but there is on the main terrace which just travels up anyway as well as hearing an old man with a smokers cough. Floor is really noisy throughout the main building as it is old. Don't bother trying to check in before 4pm. Some hostels around this area have a self check in and the room keys are ready before the check in time. This hostel does not do that and there are no staff until right at 4pm
• Zulkifli (9/5): -
• Ciao-fang (7/5): - 房間寬敞、舒適，窗外的風景更舒服😁 洗澡時水有限時間，電燈也限時間，二個雙重的限時真的很不方便
• Jillian Barrett (6/5): There's a lot of room for improvement - The views and the breakfast were great.The beds were comfortable. I stayed 6 nights and the floors in my room were never swept or washed ,I know this as I had to clean it myself so I could do yoga on the floor of my room as they didn't have a mat I could use and I asked them. There was a pile of dust and fluff on the floor and you could see bits of what looked like food and dirt prints on the floor. Only 2 plug sockets in the room for 4 people. They advertise a female 4 bed dorm and after I booked it I was told that they couldn't promise it would be and it wasn't even tonight I overhear two other women asking staff at reception that they had paid for a 4 bedroom female dorm and wanted to know who else was sharing the room with them only to be told that she didn't know who or what sex the person was that was sharing with them, even though they had already booked in. Myself and another woman in a four bed dorm wanted and booked a female dorm and there is no reason why she could not have put us in the same room .it seemed like it was too much work for the staff to work and they didn't want to do it. Also you had to give 10 swiss franc as a deposit for a towel and even 10 chf for a 2 chf coin for a bedroom locker.50 chf if you wanted to use the piano and you had to pay for the fussball machine in the kids area. The kitchen facilities for guest was a microwave and a kettle , nothing else and no where to store your own food. A one course meal was 14 chf.
