Hotel Spinne

“Perfect location and a great pool”

Hotel Spinne is an excellent place to stay, right in the middle of the Main Street of Grindelwald. An easy walk to the train station and some of the cable cars. The pool area is quite new and is amazing! Heated to 30+ degrees it’s usable all year round, I would love to try it in the middle of win… more

Hotel Spinne is an excellent place to stay, right in the middle of the Main Street of Grindelwald. An easy walk to the train station and some of the cable cars. The pool area is quite new and is amazing! Heated to 30+ degrees it’s usable all year round, I would love to try it in the middle of winter with Grindelwald covered in snow! We booked a room with an Eiger view which was perfect. The only complaint would be the room decor is a little dated, but we were still very comfortable with our stay at Spinne for a few nights.

“Fabulous Family Reunion”

We came to Grindelwald with 9 adults and 2 toddlers under 2 from a family reunion in Morat/ Murten.

We came to Grindelwald with 9 adults and 2 toddlers under 2 from a family reunion in Morat/ Murten. Hotel Spinne was perfect, from the delicious and bountiful breakfasts to the comfortable beds with incredible views of the Eiger and other alps. The heated outdoor pool (with view!) gave the little ones a welcome respite from hiking and shopping. The hotel even provided them with tiny bathrobes and slippers. The hotel's location is great, right on the main shopping street and within walking distance of skilift to First and train to Kleine Scheidegg (both a must!). Personnel was friendly and helpful, and restaurant was convenient--a table was left set up for us for entire stay--and food delicious.

“Would recommend for stay in Grindelwald. Sensible costs and stunning views”

Stayed here for around 5 nights in a superior room with Eiger view. Would certainly recommend this hotel, it is in the centre of the town close to the train and cable cars, shops, eateries etc. Good atmosphere around the hotel and with helpful staff.

Stayed here for around 5 nights in a superior room with Eiger view. Would certainly recommend this hotel, it is in the centre of the town close to the train and cable cars, shops, eateries etc. Good atmosphere around the hotel and with helpful staff. Our room was nothing particularly special apart from the view which was stunning. The Spa and Pool are a real positive, we had some dodgy weather and were able to spend a few relaxing hours here. We ate in the evening a couple of times and the food was really very good (pricy of course). Breakfast likewise pretty comprehensive with something for most people.

“OK for the price and the view”

I stayed in a solo room with an Eiger view. The view was lovely. The room was ok, big enough but awkwardly laid out. The bed was like a US size twin, which was fine (but just in comparison, I went on to stay in a single room in my next city stop in Switzerland that was nearly big enough for two),… more

I stayed in a solo room with an Eiger view. The view was lovely. The room was ok, big enough but awkwardly laid out. The bed was like a US size twin, which was fine (but just in comparison, I went on to stay in a single room in my next city stop in Switzerland that was nearly big enough for two), and comfortable enough, but there were holes in the sheets and the single pillow was very bad, with no support to it at all. The bathroom was ultra tiny, barely enough room to move in. With the door closed, you couldn't change clothes, and you had to kind of slide sideways around the sink to get into the shower. Worst of all, there's a sewage smell from the toilet, even with the toilet cover closed and the bathroom door closed. Faint, but there. This got progressively worse over my stay, as though it wasn't being cleaned well enough each day. Housekeeping left a dirty tea mug and knocked my eye mask on the floor and left it there. Breakfast was average, with ok scrambled eggs (likely made with cream though), and fairly fresh bread. Hot water was barely hot enough for a proper cup of tea. You could also get an omelet made to order but I preferred not to wait. Views of Eiger in the breakfast room are, of course, stunning. Service was generally friendly although I was chastised once at breakfast for taking plates from the "wrong" place (though I'd had no instruction that would have ever let me know what the right place was before then). The room was also quite hot and stuffy and could only be cooled by leaving the screen-less windows open; I basically left both of them open the entire time I was in the room, including for sleeping. Overall it was okay for the money, not a super expensive hotel in a generally expensive location, and well located close enough to the train station, but I would probably look for another place to base next time in Grindelwald.
