A cute little mountain inn. The floors in the guest rooms are beautiful bare wood --- there's a…read moreshoe rack to put your boots. Bring sabots or slippers! Bathrooms are on the hall; the place was mostly empty when we stayed, and there was never a line, but there's certainly a limited supply. There's a small children's play room on the first floor, with some pint-size couches and a well-stocked bookshelf covering about 8 languages. The restaurant has some Indian leanings and doesn't serve red meat, but does serve chicken. For both the rooms and the food, service was very friendly but a bit slow --- plan ahead and don't expect to swipe your card and run to the train.

This alpine hut is in one of the most picturesque and dramatic alpine settings you can imagine…read more The 2 hour hike to get to the hut was one of the most beautiful hikes we have ever been on--waterfalls everywhere, green, lush foliage along steep cliffs overlooking the town of Grindelwald below, groups of black and white sheep grazing on the mountainsides, four peaks of over 4000 meters looming above you... when you get close to the hut, you then have a gigantic glacier that appears to be moving down the mountain right to you. It's indescribably in words. The nice Swiss couple who run the hut are very helpful and maintain a very orderly and clean atmosphere (observe the rules!). Dorm-type room was simple but cozy--bring a sleeping bag liner sheet. Dinner was delicious, too. Highly recommend! If you are fit, love to hike, like be away from it all (no Wifi here) and love amazing mountain scenery, this is the place for you.

This was a fantastic value. It was by far the cheapest accomodation I found in Zurich, so I was…read moreskeptical at first, but was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. The rooms are very clean and some basic soap is provided. It was perfectly comfortable for my two night stay. The real highlight of this place is the location - I didn't have to take any public transit the whole time I was in Zurich apart from to and from the lodge to the main train station when I arrived and departed (so you save even more money just by nature of staying here because transport isn't very cheap). It's so centrally located that I was able to walk or bike to every site I wanted to visit. It's also in a neighborhood that seems to be popular amongst young professionals - plenty of bars and relatively less expensive restaurants and takeaways, by Zurich standards. I will certainly stay here again when back in Zurich!
