It’s a little outdated but clean.

The location was my favorite part of the hotel, right in front of the train station. The rooms were big and nice views.

Nothing really.

The Derby Hotel is literally just steps away from Platform 3 at the Grindelwald train station. Sparkling clean and quiet room with a lovely balcony and mountain views! The reception team was welcoming, courteous and very helpful. They will safely store your luggage on arrival before check-in hours and likewise upon check-out if you are touring Grindelwald during the day. The hotel also has a nice restaurant serving a tasty Swiss fondue. Breakfast offers a good spread of local dishes and fresh products. Considering the hotel rates of comparable hotels in Grindelwald, the Derby Hotel is very good value.

If the room faces the train station, which was the case of mine, it can be noisy

The hotel is right in front of the train station. It is very accessible. The breakfast is very nice and staff are super friendly.

Lovely hotel, all rooms have a nice view of the mountains and glacier, comfortable free parking, great breakfast with a lot of choice, had ventilator in the room which is very useful in the absence of the AC

The WiFi connection was slow and unstable. Under the unusually high temperature, the room was a bit warm at night in spite of a fan.

The location is excellent, close to supermarkets and train station. It’s well-maintained, clean and tidy. It’s spacious, especially the bathroom. The food is good.

The room had coffee capsules. I would recommend changing it to a more tasty and environmentally friendly coffee option.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The view from the room balcony was fantastic, and there were 2 communal terraces on each side of the hotel with amazing views. The location is conveniently next to the station yet still quiet. We had a great time and hope to come back.

The only drawback is the wifi. It was not good.

It’s right next to the train and bus stations. The view from the balcony is superb. The room is very nice, the bed is comfortable. The service is impeccable. Barbara was really awesome. I recommend this hotel without any hesitation.

the staff was wonderful from the checking in process. I am very glad we ended up on the top floor (cant remember if it was 4 or 5) but that floor has a common space, like a living room, lounge indoor seating as well as a balcony with a bar like setting. It felt great to get off the elevator into this spacious room and hang if we didnt want to go to the room yet. Simply lovely. Did not hear one train despite being almost at the train station. Gorgeous cottage-like dining room. Very spacious. Great selections for breakfast. Fantastic mountain view.

Grindelwald Train Station is a magnet for teams of pick pockets as we experienced a purse opening at 5pm upon exiting train car/arrival day 1 at Grindelwald station but nothing taken luckily .2 days later I observed and reported a team of 4 actively targeting tourists again at 5 pm entry/exit to train cars.The hotels proximity to the sketchy Train station is why I cite the concern however this occurs up and down busy lines like Grindelwald/Zermatt and many EU Cities.The hotel is very safe/secure within inner sanctom but we felt "targeted" once you step into train station area.We have spent a year travelling central Europe over past 5 years and this was our first upsetting encounter with active pick pockets twice in 4 days. Keep valuables under hasp locked zippers. Hotel is carpeted which we prefer flooring in room. There are no deal breakers with Hotel Derby Swiss, just book south side facing.

Hotel backs on to Grindelwald train Station so very convenient at 1 min transfer however if you book North side your facing the train station which can be very busy/public till 10pm especially on lower floors. Staff/Ricardo are excellent and front desk offered an upgrade to south mountain facing with terrace which was a game changer with stunning mountain vistas so we were thrilled, upgrade fee was a no brainer.Room switch to 104 was very much appreciated Ricardo as we were staying 4 nights and made our stay special.Swiss motif wood chalet feel with comfy beds/restaurant and bar which offered a welcome drink/snack.Hotel is good value for a Grindelwald stay excellent location. Train Staion office sells Junfrau pass and in combination with swiss 1/2 fare card is a great option for 4 day stay.Day 4-8 use Berner Oberland Pass.All other lifts are very convenient to access base stations, literally minutes to Eiger/Mannlichen/Jungfrau Top/Phinstegg etc.Management is friendly and welcoming.Breakfast is adequate but could use more variety ie cheeses-it is Switzerland!, yogurts and bakery items.We frequent hotels in EU and Level 3 traveller's for years the Derby Swiss was a good choice for Grindewald 4 night stay for south facing rooms.Book with confidence.

Location is amazing. The hotel is maintained very well. I would love to stay again and again just while I take break from work and spend a week at leisure

The location of the hotel is perfect. By the train station and in the middle of town. The staff is wonderful, car park is very convenient and breakfast is relatively good.

It was a bit warm during the summer due to the lack of air conditioning.

The location was excellent—just a 1-minute walk from Grindelwald train station, which made getting around very easy.
