The staff at Sonnenberg are so friendly and helpful. The room was a little cramped but the shared cozy space including deck with fantastic views helped! Breakfast was delicious and the location while up a steep hill, was a welcome quiet change from the busy crowded town. Highly recommend this place because of the staff and homey feel.

This hotel has a spectacular view of The Eiger since itnis at the top of the hill. It is not walking distance to the train station and the Grindelwald First. The staff, especially, George is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is included

The property has a great location and incredible views! The only thing to keep in mind is that it is that there is a steep walk to the hotel from the train station and if you have heavy luggage, then it takes some cardio strength to carry it to the hotel. But once to reach there, it is worth it. The hotel is quite nice, staff is very friendly and helpful and the views of the Grindelwald valley from the hotel are amazing!

Great property, fantastic views, wonderful appointments, and great host. Biggest challenge was the uphill climb with luggage. Again, worth the climb for the spectacular views. Would love to come back!

My wife and I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Sonnenberg! Our room in the chalet building was gorgeous with an incredible balcony and view of Grindelwald and the alps! The hotel is just up the hill from the train station which makes the walk up worth it to get a view better than any hotel in the valley! Breakfast was excellent with fresh bread and pastries baked right there in Grindelwald! The staff were lovely and George even coordinated a bottle of Champagne in our room to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Couldn’t recommend more!

The way to the hotel from their parking lot is a difficult climb for seniors. No elevator to use from the reception to the rooms! It has good view of the mountain.

Classic Swiss hotel with charming rooms and lobby. Beautiful Mountain View from the room. The hotel is located up a very steep hill but that is the only downside.

The most amazing view!

This small hotel is one of the most amazing hotels I have ever stayed. I have to admit, the steep walk to the hotel will make you rethink your fitness level ... but ... the view from our room was simply to die for! The owners (a very nice couple) not only upgraded our room for no particular reason, they also provided us with information on nearby attractions. The room was clean and roomy. Breakfast was included and was also fabulous. Great variety and extremely delicious. I would give this hotel my highest recommendation.
