I stayed at this hotel as part of a ski club trip. This hotel is sooooo convenient to the trains, lifts, and gondolas needed to travel around the region, especially if you are carrying ski equipment. The staff was helpful and friendly. The food is nothing to write home about.

We stayed at the Derby hotel for 3 nights. The rooms are spacious and clean albeit a little dated but that doesn't even matter when your view is so incredible. We enjoyed just sitting on our little deck just taking in the sights. Would definitely reccomend if you are staying in Grindewald.

The Derby is located 'behind' the Grindelwald train station. That being said, the location is wonderful but you have to accept the fact you will hear all the noises associated with the trains. Derby is a traditional family owned & operated hotel. The bus stop is a mere three blocks away. Our ski club group stayed on the half-board plan(breakfast... More

My husband and I stayed in the Derby in January 13 for 3 nights. I would have to say the location is excellent and that overall we had a pleasant stay. On the plus side the room was sunny and perfectly adequate with comforts like a bathtub, minibar, safe etc. The breakfast buffet was great with lots to choose from.... More

Booked the Derby for a week skiing the region with Crystal Ski. Upgraded to a south facing room with a view of the Eiger and a balcony/bath for relatively little (admittedly we did get a bargain). We were booked into room 216 which was perfectly fine. The bathroom, although very dated in decor was perfectly servicable. The bedroom was big... More

We just returned from a 10 night stay at the Derby Hotel in Grindelwald, Switzerland. The first and most obvious advantage of staying at the Derby is it's proximity to the trains. It is right at the end of the rail line. You get off the train and walk right into the Derby. Everyone at the front desk was extremely... More

My first stay at The Derby was in 1995 and I have been back 10 times since then. This is a Swiss Family Style Hotel with the highest standard of service. The location is second to none as you have access to every ski area in the Jungfrau Region and The Country of Switzerland outside the front doorstep of The... More

The train is not an issue and is in fact very convienient for travel to the ski areas. The hotel itself keeps the family swiss chalet atmosphere... More

This is a short review to recommend the Derby Barnhof Hotel to anyone considering a holiday in Grindlewald. I stayed there with my husband and brother during a skiing holiday.
