Stayed at the Eiger for two nights while in transit from Zurich to northern Italy - I wanted to revisit an area I hadn't seen since childhood, however brief the visit had to be. The hotel turned out to be a wonderful choice - homelike and unpretentious, just across the plaza from the train station. I had a large, immaculate and comfortable room and bath off a private hallway on the side away from the station (I'd requested quiet over view.) And except for a few Saturday night merrymakers who actually turned in fairly early, it was very peaceful. in the mornings I enjoyed watching the children in the playground below my window. Everyone on the staff was incredibly helpful. They assisted me in fitting in as much as possible in a brief time, pointed out some particularly nice walking routes, gave me tips on the best way to reach my Italian destination - including printing out timetables - and in general went out of their way to make me feel pampered. I thought the food, which emphasized fresh ingredients, was wonderful. Breakfasts, though not fancy, were ample and very good, particularly the fresh-baked breads (no pre-packaged hardtack at the Eiger). I took half-board and would recommend it to anyone except fussy eaters who demand a wide choice (such as the woman who took one look at the spring rolls that were the appetizer one evening and trilled in shocked tones, "I can't eat that . . . that . . . CAKE thing!") Dinner is served in a guests' dining room and you have an opportunity to meet others staying at the hotel. I found the menu imaginative and delicious, with extensive use of what seemed to be local ingredients. There was a big salad bar, which in addition to fresh salad makings included locally cured meats. Also an interesting wine list featuring Swiss wines. This is a delightful place, one I'd like to revisit soon. It would be an ideal spot for a family vacation.

This hotel was fabulous. It has wonderful views, convienently near the train station. Clean and comfortable rooms with heated bathroom floors. The hotel is run by a family and you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in the front door until the time you leave. We were there over Christmas and the hotel had a special dinner for everyone and gave each person a gift. The breakfasts are delicious. We choose the hotel package where dinner is included. The 5 course dinners were nice but I don't think I would choose it again because after skiing all day it was hard to sit through a 5 course meal.

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Eiger on Dec 1 and 2. The room was large and we had a wonderful view over the train station to the Eiger and other peaks. This hotel is 10 feet from the train station which at first I thought might be a problem, but it turned out well because it was incredibly convenient and the trains are not noisy or ugly, as is often the case in the USA. It was fun to watch the trains come and go from the balcony, and the mountain scenery was incredible. I spent the second morning watching the fog move slowly through the valley and across the peaks creating one picturesque scene after another. We ate in the restaurant one night and enjoyed the food a lot. Breakfast was included and was basic, just a few cheeses and bread, juice, coffee, tea. The staff was wonderful. I found them friendly and welcoming. My only negative comment is that the room was very simply decorated. I was disappointed that it did not have more of a "Swiss mountain town" decor. Just to look at the room, it could have been anywhere. It was rather beige and bland. But I recommend this hotel, especially if you want to be near the train station. If you can pay a bit more for a room with a view, do it. It's amazing.

We loved this hotel. It was very convenient location. It is right across the street from the train station. It is great for families. The room is very large. The view is spectacular. The Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good too. Fresh fruit salad, fresh bread, all very tastey.
