Hotel Alte Post

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..

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!

Our 3rd visit to this lovely little hotel with a fantastic view of the mountains. Extremely clean, traditional in decor, and perfectly located in the town. The breakfasts are lovely and simple - the food is fresh, and delicious. Very Swiss in theme with a variety of cheeses, meats, yogurts, musli, breads, fruits and eggs. Everyone at the hotel is very welcoming. I love coming here!

This hotel was everything we wanted. It was next to the gondola, First. Ann, the owner, made sure everything was perfect for our stay. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The breakfast and dinner were delicious. The views of the Eiger were superb. It was quiet and cool at night to sleep. We highly recommend!

Just returned today 26/2/22 after a 6 night stay with the family. Was a last minute booking direct with the hotel after switching from France. It could not have been more perfect as I hate walking in ski boots and the chidren were able to switch between skis and snowboards as we were right next door to the First Gondola. The hotel was charming, Lovely rooms with balconies overlooking the mountains. The owner was very helpful and we enjoyed a lovely breakfast daily.. If they added the firepit tables outside the bar this would be an added bonus after a days skiing. Will definately return..

Description holds true, no more no less. Staff is friendly. If you want to visit or ski on First, hotel is literally next door to gondola station. Overall charming chalet hotel with omnipresent mountain feel. Hotel is quiet at night, also thanks to its location behind the main street.

The hotel is quite centrally located. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The lady who did the booking and checked us in Ruth is wonderful and warm. The breakfast is good too. Definitely worth a stay. Also it is right next to the adventure zone of Gribdlewald and within walking distance.

Great location, the bus stop is right there, the First cable car is right there, and it is about 10min away from the train station, just out of all the tourist noise. The room had an amazing view from the balcony, which had two chairs and a table. The owner was very helpful. The cable car to Pfingstegg is also minutes away. Good breakfast, and set back from the road so quiet.
