The location is absolute breathtaking, great for end of hiking day from schynige platte. and once all the tourists are gone, it makes perfect photos. The dinner was fair, and the breakfast was very simple (bread, yogurt, cereals, ham and cheese) but ok. The staff lady was super nice and friendly. The shared bathrooms and showers are the cleanest I've seen
The bunk beds are standardly small, and only one electricity socket (the room actually had 2 sockets, but the one that the heater was connected to wasn't working), for a room of six people. I suggest bringing a power socket splitter.

An incredible location with spectacular views of the mountains. Staff were exceptional. Food was great. Super relaxing and peaceful after the crowds left with the last gondola down the mountain. Amazing to have such a spacious, well equipped mountain lodge at this elevation. Couldn't imagine a nicer place to stay!

After the last gondola going down at 5:30, we basically had the resort to ourselves, with our own personal bartender.

I was in a dorm room, but I slept extremely well. The breakfast was simple but had the essentials. The showers are free and a towel is provided.
The showers are pretty far from the dorm rooms. Because of the accessibility (gondolas/easy walk along a gravel road from the Grosse Scheidegg), there are a lot of people during the day.
