Reviews of Hotel Sonnenberg 3 stars

The staff was excellent. They serve a breakfast it was very good as well. The Hotel location up the hill across from the train station. A ten minute walk give or take.

The hike up the hill. We're in our 60's and it took some effort.

The location is great, you can see the the Eiger. I don't have a problem with the climb to the location because I didn't have a suitcase. Good breakfast. At night it was a bit strange because the alley is not lit but you get used to it. The breakfast was good. You can also take products from their fridge yourself in the lobby. I arrived at 9 pm and I had the key and instructions ready. The staff is very nice. The garden is beautiful. There are 2 chalets and I stayed in the second.

I requested a room with a mountain view a few months ago, but I got a room without a view. The room is dusty, I have allergies and I sneezed all night, I woke up from my sleep to sneeze. I have never had this happen before and this is the second year I have been traveling to Switzerland. The room also had cobwebs and I killed a spider. A minibar/fridge in the room would be good in the future

Wonderful experience. Clean, great breakfast, stunning views.

The location! Sitting on our balcony staring over the roof tops to the sun hitting the Eiger...it was so peaceful. Also the staff was kind and courteous.

The only thing I would change is to upgrade the quality of the cutlery. It didn't match the lovely breakfast.

Great location and views, as long as you are prepared for the walk uphill - but they do mention this in the details for the property. Room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was terrific and included as part of the booking.

Cold to luke warm shower one morning when we were up very early for sightseeing. The next morning when we got up later the water was hot. Grindelwald is an expensive town to stay in, but this accommodation was a reasonable price in comparison to other properties.

The location is good but

We didn't sleep well for the whole two nights because it was so hot in our room! There was no net on the window so we couldn't open it or lots of Flys would come in. They gave us a small fan but it didn't help much and it felt like a sauna. It's definitely not worth the price tag.

Friendly staff in the morning. Good breakfast. Comfortable rooms.

Beware the steep climb to the hotel. Could be a problem if you are infirm or have heavy luggage.

Views

Had to go up high

The breakfast was great and the room was clean. The staff were very helpful and responsive.

This isn't a negative as the hotel states on its website that getting to it is a bit of an uphill track. This is accurate.

The view, the location, the cleanliness of the room, the amazing breakfast, the chalet atmosphere

There was no hot water, the fact that we couldn't take a hot shower was unacceptable

Location, views, and furnishings! Beautiful building. I was fortunate enough to have a room with a terrace overlooking the village and mountains.

The staff were lovely and allowed an early check in as our room was ready and packed a breakfast for us when we needed to leave early on the last day. The view from our balcony was amazing. We also enjoyed having some drinks in the common area.

A little fridge in the room would have been nice, and the water pressure and temperature control from the shower was terrible. One morning I had a luke warm shower. There definitely is a big steep walk to the hotel, but I guess this is a sacrifice for the views.

Great hotel, nice rooms, very clean and accommodating staff. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in Grindelwald for a couple nights!

Nothing

The staff were so friendly and made me feel so welcomed! Room was clean and very cozy.

Location is on a hill which is a bit of a climb and exhausting with luggage

The room was large and had a balcony that had an excellent view. The breakfast was good but not excellent

I would class this as between a hotel and a bed and breakfast. It had a self service bar which had some nice beers etc but perhaps overpriced as you might as well have bought some drinks from the supermarket and brought them back. Having said that I suppose it was a service they provided and I actually drank mostly at a place called "Base Camp" a really decent place for food and drink at a reasonable price for Switzerland.

The view from the Hotel Bedroom was amazing,

It would have been nice to find someone at the reception.

We absolutely loved this hotel-it’s in the most stunning place.We had a room with a balcony looking right up at the mountains-a fantastic view.The room was spacious and stylish too.Also the breakfast was great with plenty of choice.

There is a bit of a walk up to the property from the town-about 10 minutes.This didn’t bother us but might be a problem for some people.

The location

Extremely basic facilities. No food or drink available after breakfast and no fridge to store your own food and drink. Breakfast was too late if you were booked on a early tour or activity so we had to miss it
