Hotel berhampiran Alpiglen, Grindelwald

Excitement when we booked the hotel: five stars hotel, a restaurant with 14 points on Gault & Millau, spa and gorgeous views over the Eiger mountain. But disappoin**ent when we arrived. Nobody to greet us or help us with the luggage. The tables on the garden next to the entrance were covered of empty packs of cigarettes and overflowing ashtrays. When we arrived at the front desk, there was only one person, who took care of the couple of friends that were travelling with us, and suddenly a guy appeared that seemed to have just jumped out of bed and hastily took our luggage. As check-in was not until 3 PM, we went out to enjoyed the day. Came back a 2:50 PM and the room still wasn’t available because check-in was at 3 as the front desk person repeated. I would have hoped that 10 minutes to 3, the room would be ready… I was told to wait in the lobby. No drinks. No service. At that point I really was not feeling welcome. The tables in the lobby were covered in dirty cups everywhere. After 10 minutes, I go to the front desk and finally can get checked in. This is when I am handed a pass for public transports and a discount voucher for the ski pass. Would have been more useful in the morning that when the day was over. I then go to the room: no luggage. I had to phone the front desk to get it delivered. The view was as promised: gorgeous! The room however, very meh. It had a vibe of the early 90’s. Carpet’s colours washed off by the sun. Outdated furbishing, bathroom included. Cheap plastic ashtray turned upside down on the balcony that was covered in a fake grass carpet. Certainly not worth 660 CHF a night (ca. 700 USD). We had booked a massage a few weeks prior, lucky for us they changed our slot but we still had our trea**ent. Our friends however, booked in August and the hotel cancelled without any notification because a massage therapist was sick and they reallotted the slot my friends booked to someone else. The gastronomic restaurant was supposed to be closed but our friends managed to get a 7-course menu organized. We were all very excited but disappointed as the dishes got served. First dish was so small we thought it was an amuse-bouche. Then we had a mere soup that was so sweet, it could have been a dessert. And then a scoop of passion fruit ice-cream. I will not mention all the dishes, but the menu was really uneventful and unworthy of a 14 Gault & Millau restaurant. Also no explanation provided about the dishes when they were getting served. At that stage, we suspected it was not the food of the gastronomic restaurant, but they served us the same menu they were serving the night before for New Year’s Eve. Menu with wine turned out to be 230 CHF (ca. 250 USD) per person. Pretty hefty for what we got. After dinner we went to the lobby’s bar for a last drink. Again, the table was dirty and I had to ask the waitress to clean it. Check-out the next day was also very laborious with a guy with messed up hair, again, not a good image for a

This is a really nice hostel consisting of 2 buildings. The double rooms are in a separate building, which means it is nice and quiet there away from the groups. The rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfast buffet is great, better than what is offered in some of the less expensive hotels. We had dinner once as well, which was very tasty and good value for money. You can enjoy the sun on the patio. plenty of seating outside and a ”Grillplatz” as well. All in all we had a great stay in this hostel.

Bonjour, Nous avons passé deux nuits dans cet hôtel, lors d’un petit séjour au ski. Nous avions une chambre familiale avec ma femme et mes deux filles ados, la chambre est suffisamment grande et la salle de bain spacieuses également, La jeune femme qui nous a accueilli était très sympathique et a fait l’effort de parler français. Petit déjeuner très bien, il y a également un parking sous terrain a 15€ la nuit, le denier jour nous avons pu y laisser la voiture jusqu’à 15h00. Il y a un arrêt de bus juste devant l’hôtel et les navettes sont fréquentes et gratuites. Idéalement situé à proximité des pistes et des commerces, pas besoin de toucher la voiture durant le séjour. L’hôtel dispose également d’un locale à ski Merci pour l’accueil.

Nice mountain view from the room, but the room is not big. The hotel located 10 mins walk from the Grindlewald station and 2 mins walk from the First Bahn to go Grindlewald First. The breakfast is nice but it’s only open at 7am hence it’s quite rush if you have early activity which you have to leave the hotel early e.g to go to Jung frau.

I've been coming to Regina for several decades. It has always been a home away from home. It is one of very few hotels that has managed to keep the luxury and allure throughout many years. They adhere to a very high standard on every level. For many it might feel antiquated, but if you're looking for something that is truly unique, that has stood the test of time and is not just another generic modern day luxury hotel, this is the place to be. There's not many hotels where you can sit in a lounge by a warm log fire, playing a board game while a pianist is playing. It's a hotel that is filled with history, warmth and kindness.

My husband and I stayed here for the first leg of our honeymoon. The hotel was a little outside our price range, but we decided to treat ourselves, and we were not disappointed! Our room had a gorgeous balcony view of the Alps and the Lauterbrunnen valley. The breakfast buffet was amazing- cold cuts, lots of fresh fruit, breads, a large selection of jams, and eggs to order. We also finished every night of our stay with a trip to the hot tubs/spa area. Sitting in the outdoor hot tub during a heavy snowfall was definitely a honeymoon highlight. We also loved the hotel location- it's so close to the Wenger train station that it made exploring the rest of the mountain area with day trips so easy to plan. We had an amazing stay and would strongly recommend Hotel Silberhorn if you're looking for a hotel with a great view and yummy breakfast!

PROS * Incredible unique building * Iconic fairy-tale type structure * Stunning unique period-piece architecture * A true remnant of ”La Belle Epoque” * Isolated and tranquil (but only when day hikers have not yet arrived or have departed) * Stunning lobby and ground and first-floor * Exquisitely and tastefully furnished sitting rooms * Beautiful and well-manicured grounds * Unspeakable breath-taking scenery of the waterfalls and lake * Access to ”easy” super pleasant hikes along the waterfalls CONS * It can be hectic during the day with all the hikers * Primary access by boat and fun icular for guests, but cars can get there too ”I VISITED THIS PLACE”... ... because I was hiking up along and to the top of the waterfall, and this was a bonus to see and visit. It was quite busy with meals being served to the many many day visitors- there must have been at least 50-70 at any given moment. Surely the outside beauty speaks for itself but to see the inside lobby and sitting rooms and (at least two) indoor dining rooms for the honored guests- what surprising lush elegance and soft under spoken glamour. I was thrilled to be able to wander and explore all the public areas of the ground and first floor. TIPS It is truly an amazing place- even if your goal is to hike (and who doesn't want to hike), this place should be visited. I hope that you like my many helpful” photos that I've attached here for you to understand that this is an incredible special unique structure: maybe you'll stay here....

We had one night here en route to the south, but would like to come back and explore the area further. We thought that the room rate and breakfast were excellent value, particularly for Switzerland. The hotel has been well maintained to a good 4 star level (it's a 5 star review, but for a 4 star hotel). Nice, old fashioned decor (1890s Belle Epoque meets 1980s), lovely people at reception, a grand room for the restaurant (not used) and for breakfast) and very comfortable beds. We will return!
