We stayed in an apartment at the Hotel Bodmi for a week in August after having read the rave reviews on Tripadvisor. Our apartment could not be faulted. It was very clean, nicely furnished, was well-appointed and had fantastic views.

If we were looking for faults, I agree with the last post that the towels and some of the bedding is probably due to be replaced.

We found all of the staff to be very efficient and very friendly. We ate in the hotel more than we expected to as the weather wasn't that great and we didn't fancy the steep walk up from the village with the possibility of getting drenched after a nice meal.

We would definitely stay at the Bodmi again!

We just returned from a wonderful 9-night stay at the Hotel Bodmi. Of the 3 hotels we have stayed at over the years in Grindelwald, this is by far our favorite. Our room was immaculate with a lovely view of the Eiger and lower glacial gorge, and the food on our half-board plan was absolutely fantastic! Best of all, the staff is warm and friendly and really makes you feel at home. Suffice it to say, we can't wait to make a return visit to Grindelwald and the Bodmi in a few years.

After having read the enthusiastic reviews about Hotel Bodmi, we decided to stay in August for one week in a junior suite with our one year old daughter. Yes, it is true that the views are great, the location superb and the rooms big.

But, the interior design of the rooms was very old fashioned, the carpet and the towels (strange pink-red mix...) could be renewed. Same is true for the tablecloth on the restaurant terrace and our balcony chairs; the wholes in it kept our daughter busy. With few exceptions, the staff was everything else but heartly. As a German I sometimes felt directed as by the former East German army or a Swiss female regiment. I did also not understand why the onwers let the staff sit around in the restaurant when not working and, worst of all, smoking like hell.

The food comes in large portions, but is not what one could describe as elaborate Swiss mountain cooking, it is more solid. When we were eating on the restaurant terrace, we had to sit in the last corner (which I can understand because of our the small daughter), but no one of the service had the idea to bring, at least the food for her, with some kind of urgency (Living in Italy that is one of the things I love the Italians for....) Breakfast was good, even so the focus lay more on cheese than on the ham part of the buffet.

If you want to sit outside and see the mountains, you can either do it on your balcony or the restaurant terrace where you have to consume - quite a pitty for this lovely green in front of the hotel. Parking is kind of tricky as you risk every time to grate your car at the wall of the stall.

The owners where kind of friendly, but not so nice not to increase our room rate from the '7-night-stay rate' to the '6-night-stay-rate' - after it had rained heavily for three days without stopping (we had bought a six-day mountain railway pass which we could use two!) and we had decided to leave the hotel one night earlier (still don't understand why the owner had to increase the price while explaining me that it would be "just some ten Swiss Francs per person per night"...).

Would we go back to the Bodmi? No. Having paid more than 200 Euro per night (including only breakfast), I think that what this 3+ star hotel is offering, it is overpriced, might the views also be fabulous. And the cordiality and friendliness of the Bodmi had nothing to do with holidays we had lately passed in Austria and Turkey.

Arrived at the Bodmi in late afternoon and warmly greeted by Elizabeth & Kurt. The inn is beautiful inside and out, and the views are unsurpassed. The staff is very professional and we were pleased to find a spotlessly clean room that was adequately appointed for our needs. The food was excellent and rounded out an otherwise excellent stay. We really enjoyed exporing Grindelwald and surrounding areas and the local lifts were running. Jungfraujoch is a must see and we had superb weather. We would highly recommend this inn to any traveler and if you are lucky enough to get Darko as your waiter, that would be even better. Thanks to the Bodmi for a perfect Switzerland adventure!
