The staff are fantastic and make you feel at home. It is rustic living among the Swiss of Gimmelwald. I love this town, and love the hotel. The bar is fun to chill and meet others from around the world.

A wonderfully authentic old Swiss chalet, wonderful hosts, majestic setting. What more could you ask for?

What an amazing stay. The view alone was worth the trip but being located in a very small town right next to another hostel with like minded travelers there for the experience was priceless. Thank you.

Pension Gimmelwald—Highly Recommend!
Pension Gimmelwald is charming, cozy, and beautiful! If you want top notch hospitality, yummy dinners with a view, and a truly charming Swiss environment, look no further. We loved the village, the people, and the view. A peaceful piece of paradise.

The hotel is everything they describe; historic, rustic, quaint, with beautiful views. The village is calm and quiet with beautiful scenic views anyway you look. Many hiking trails pass through the small village.

We loved our stay here in Gimmelwald! Such a great little, rustic hotel. Had so much charm and the most beautiful location.

Beautiful setting
My wife and I found the staff to be extremely down to earth people. The small village of Gimmewald does not have a lot of amenities but we loved how authentic and unspoiled it is. There are many easily accessible hiking trails with outstanding views. The food at the hotel is excellent. I had concerns about having a room with a shared bathroom but that was no problem at all. I have traveled to all 50 states in the US and dozens of countries and this hotel was my favorite place that I have ever stayed at.

I enjoyed my visit. The staff was very kind and helpful the entire visit.
James, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rustic and clean place. Nice lobby / bar vibe. We had one dinner there which was simple and good. Breakfasts were totally adequate for all 4 of us. Highly recommend. There are lots of flies but that’s just the deal in the mountains. Loved the location - very quiet but super easy to move around by foot and/or gondola.

A true Swiss mountain experience
If you are looking for true Swiss mountain home experience and not a tourist hotel, this is the place for you. Quaint quiet village. Pension Gimmelwald is a great hotel, gives you a true mountain village experience. Rooms are spotlessly clean, staff is friendly and entertaining. Home cooked meals are fabulous. Highly recommend coming here.

Sabine, the owner, was very cheerful and helpful during our stay. The food and their beer was very good and the ambiance was very pleasant.

Pension Grimmelwald is the quintessential old Swiss guest house. Extremely friendly owners, great staff, good food & beverages. The location is beyond beautiful, village is tiny & the hiking is extraordinary.

The pension is part of “old Gimmelwald” so is a bit creaky with community bathrooms, but it is charming because of that. The staff were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Gail, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a nice place to stay. The ceilings are very low and rooms are quite basic. The beds were not particularly comfortable. But the restaurant was great and it was a fun place to get a drink. The town itself is very quite and there is nothing really to do except hang out at the restaurant/bar.

Peaceful Gimmelwald
We loved the quiet of the town. The whole staff at the Pension were very friendly and helpful. The food was great, like homecooking.

Rustic and Charming
This is an awesome rustic stay. Not posh, somewhat quirky, but charming and memorable. The hosts are very accommodating and welcoming. The restaurant and bar downstairs has a good breakfast and a dinner option available - the food was simple but fine. Rooms are small, with shared bathroom and shower facilities that were not my favorite, and not always very clean. But this is a really special place in the world and if you go in knowing what to expect, you will have an amazing stay.

6/10 Good

Can’t recommend.
The location is okay, but if you want more restaurant options it’s better to stay in Mürren. The walls are super thin here and it’s disturbing. We could hear everything above us .. even the zipper on their suitcases. Footsteps and creaking boards are annoying. There was no hot water for showering. I would not stay here again. There are way better places to stay for that price.
