Nice enough hotel. Key system is odd.

We spent one night at Hotel Alte Post as part of a hiking trip. The room was nice enough and had a beautiful garden view, although the bathroom was somewhat dated. We - and other American guests - were a bit befuddled by the fact that you had to leave your room key on a rack near the front door before leaving the building. Theoretically, anyone could have taken it and entered our room. Maybe security isn't an issue in Grindelwald, but a more modern key system would be more reassuring.

Super panorama with good accommodation

We spent 5 days in wonderful weather in Grindelwald. We were welcomed very friendly and our luggage was brought to the room. The associated hotel parking lot was, as usual in mountain regions, somewhat hidden. In the half board we took part in the sumptuous breakfast buffet in the morning. Sausage, cheese, cereal, eggs, fruit, etc. were offered in sufficient quantity and fresh. In addition, as a late breakfast we found everything in sufficient quantity. Various drinks were offered by machine. In the evening, a 5-course meal was offered at its finest. You could also choose a vegetarian version. If a menu does not respond, you can choose from the restaurant menu. The food was very well served and the order of food was very pleasant. The advice from the experienced and extremely attentive service staff was also pleasant.
The room with balcony offered an unforgettable view of the Eiger and the Mönch-Jungfrau region. The spacious bathroom was modern, but the ventilation was probably broken for some time and spore fungi developed. We criticized this at the reception and they promised to remedy it. Super Due to the location at the station, there is street noise from arrivals and departures.

Swiss hotel at it's best

In June 2023 friends and I decided to visit Grindelwald and we reserved 3 double rooms at Hotel Alter Post. We were warmly received by the attentive staff in this traditional Swiss alpine hotel.
The management had placed us in 3 neighboring rooms, each with a large balcony and magnificent view of the surrounding mountains. The attractive rooms and beds were very comfortable and the baths impeccably clean.
We started each day with a generous breakfast in a lovely dining room. Alter Post is perfectly positioned for roaming the incredibly beautiful Grindelwald countryside and we happily returned to our cosy hotel every afternoon. One of our guest fell ill and requested a single room, which was offered to her immediately with a small discount.
We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Hotel Alter Post and would like to thank Mrs Gruber and her staff for this wonderful experience. We will return one day for sure..

In the middle of Grindelwald, next to the lift to First and a perfectly prepared breakfast

We spent 5 nights here. Beautiful large valley view room with a great view over the valley and the mountains. The hotel is located right next to the elevator to First. You are not bothered by the hustle and bustle of the elevator or the center. Friendly and helpful staff and owner. Breakfast is prepared with great care every morning. Every morning there were homemade treats, bread and/or cake!
You can park your car on the site in front of the hotel, behind the Alte Post restaurant.

A family run hidden gem

This is an amazing hotel! From the moment we arrived, we felt looked after. The room was spacious and the view from the balcony of the Eiger is nothing short of spectacular! The balcony allowed us to view the mountain day and night. The beds are very comfortable. The rooms were serviced every day. Staff are so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast has a great selection of cereals and meats/cheeses.
We also ate numerous times in the attached restaurant, and we were amazed by the quality of food on every occasion. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel, and I would definitely return if I visited the area again!
