By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Sunstar Hotel & SPA Grindelwald is worth booking if location and mountain views matter more to you than modern finishes, since guests rate the location 9.5. If you are counting every franc, note that guests often feel the rates and extra charges are high for ageing facilities.

This hotel suits travellers who want to step out of the door and onto the mountain. Guests say it sits opposite the First cable car station, close to shops and restaurants. It also suits families, with family rooms listed, and anyone who wants a spa after a day outdoors.
Skip it if you want a recently updated hotel or feel strongly about value. The most common complaint is that high room rates and extra charges do not match facilities that guests describe as ageing.
Location and getting around
The address is Dorfstrasse 168, in what the listing calls the top-rated area of Grindelwald. Guests score the location 9.5 out of 10.
We do not have verified walking times to sights for this hotel. What guests do report is the cable car station opposite and shops and restaurants nearby. Check a map for anything else you plan to reach on foot.
Parking is not confirmed in our data. If you are driving, ask the hotel about spaces and charges.
What guests say
The score is 8.6 out of 10 from 1,439 reviews. Among the 3 hotels we compared, that placed it joint third on score.
Views come up often. Guests describe panoramic outlooks of the Eiger face from rooms, balconies and common areas. Not every room will have the same outlook, so ask what your room type faces.
The weak point is value for money. Guests mention high rates and extra charges for services, set against facilities that feel dated.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was €328.10 per night, about €656 for two nights. That is 3% below the sample median of €337.37. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Grindelwald is expensive across the board. Our Best Value pick, Bergwelt Grindelwald - Alpine Design Resort, scored 8.9 with 4 stars at €337.37 a night, only about €9 more. Our Luxury pick, Romantik Hotel Schweizerhof, scored 9.0 with 5 stars at €409.36 a night.
With such a small gap to Bergwelt, it is worth checking both on your dates. Sunstar wins on its spot by the cable car; Bergwelt scores higher.
Why it made our top 3
We compared only 3 eligible hotels in Grindelwald, so all three made the list. Sunstar took the Budget slot because it had the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale choice was set aside.
Budget here is relative. You still get a 4-star hotel with a gym, spa, pool, restaurant, garden and terrace listed, plus a location guests love.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Breakfast is listed as buffet; check whether it is in your rate.
Given the complaints about extra charges, ask which services cost more, including the spa and pool. Pets appear in the listing tags, so confirm the policy and any fee.
