“Great hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012 via mobile

person found this review helpful

Stayed on the 28th Jan 2012. The hotel itself was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. I had a single room which was fine, well cleaned on a daily basis.mthe only criticism I had of this room was that it was on the end of the hotel above the neighbouring 'Espresso Bar' and was very noisy on the Friday/ Saturday night. Howeve the rest of the stay made up for it.

The food was fantastic, 4 courses every night of top quality food with a choice between 2 main corses on every night. Breakfast was also very good, buffet style with cheese, meat, fresh bread, choice of yoghurt, eggs , bacon, choice of cereal. I note one review on here that breakfast wasn't exciting, if by that the reviewer means that the toast didn't jump up off the plate and sing a song then I would have to agree, but other than that I could not be faulted.

Staff were keen to have a chat and be friendly and you could tell that it was a family run hotel.

The wellness centre comprising of sauna etc was also very good with fresh towels available all the time along with heral tea and water available as required.

The location of the hotel was also very convenient, bust stop a few yards away, with the first ski lift only anfewnhundred yards up the road. The railway station being a couple of minute bus ride away.

I would stay here again and would not hesitate to reccomend to a friend.

“Wonderful location, wonderful rooms and food - wonderful hotel!!”

This was our second visit to Grindelwald and the Spinne and we were not disappointed. This was also our first taste of Christmas away from home and it proved to be a brilliant experience. The Spinne may not look like much from the roadside, but inside it is cosy, warm and comfortable. All the staff (from chambermaids to owners) are unfailingly and effortlessly helpful, cheerful and welcoming. We stayed in the "Guesthouse" at the rear of the hotel for the second time - where the newly refurbished rooms are spacious, light and have stunning views across to the Eiger and the valley below. They are also very quiet and peaceful. As we were on half board we ate in the main hotel restaurant where we had fabulous food every night without fail. We would highly recommend this hotel for it's brilliant location within 5 minutes walk of the First Gondola, the railway station, the bus station and right next to the ski bus stop - but also for the whole experience.

Room Tip: South facing rooms, especially in the "Guesthouse" are spacious and quiet.

Lovely hotel, very welcoming and staff and service excellent. Well placed hotel in the centre of Grindelwald. We had an amazing view from our twin room. Good choice of food and very clean throughout the hotel. One of the nicest ski hotels I've stayed in, will definately recommend to family and friends! Thank you

“Alps Walk”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2011

Hotel Spinne is a good place to stay while exploring the mountains around Grindelwald. It is only a few blocks from the train station and only a few more blocks to the cable cars and walking paths. Katharina, at the front desk, speaks several languages and is very helpful.
Rick Steve's travel book says to avoid Grindelwald because it is a touristy place. Sometimes a place is 'touristy' because it is a wonderful place to visit! The paths were almost empty and we walked all over for 3 days in the height of tourist season. The hotel rooms are spotless and bright and cheery. The beds are comfortable with fluffy white puffs as blankets. The windows overlook the Eiger. Breakfast is delicious and complete, from eggs to meat to choices of bread, cheese, fruit, cereal, etc. and you can eat it in a lovely dining room or out on the terrace under the mountains! I recommend Hotel Spinne.

Room Tip: Ask for a balcony from which you can see the Eiger
