    It was perfect, would definitely stay at this hotel again when we return to Grindelwald!

    Shower is a bit tiny and i kept bumping into the door/wall.

    We were given one of the best view (corner room) with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. It was one of the rooms that had not been remodeled yet but I didn't find too dated, more traditional Swiss-style. The bed were very comfortable. The hotel offers a good variety of options for breakfast and it was delicious! Location is a bit farther away from town, which makes it quieter. There is a ski room at the basement of the hotel for storage and to vent your gear. The basement also has a ping pong table, pool table, a piano, games, etc that we ended up utilizing on a day when all the lifts and gondolas were closed due to strong winds.

    The shower was too small because the doors fold inwards. It would be great to have a towel rail close to the shower as well as a shower rack.

    The hosts were attentive and friendly. I enjoyed most of facilities provided. I asked for breakfast to be packed for an early day the night before and they gave me a decent meal! Balcony is spacious and room is sufficient as well. The bed was extremely comfy and there were 3 curtains to ensure sufficient sleep. The place is nestled just off the main area making it a prime location to access the town but to also have a peaceful stay. The place has a lift as well.

    It was a real pleasure to stay at the Gletschergarten Hotel. Gabriela and Gery were wonderful hosts and ensured that our visit was most enjoyable. The hotel is really beautiful, with a true old-world feel to it. Our room was very cosy and convenient, with amazing views from the balcony. The breakfast had something for every taste, with high-quality products. We also had dinners at the hotel several evenings and were left very impressed - everything was delicious, and for a 3-course prix-fixe meal, this was a very good deal. A special mention goes to the great ski storage room equipped with boot dryers.

    Standard room is quite tight for 2 people, if you can afford to upgrade then would suggest so.

    Hotel is so wonderfully Swiss'y - great atmosphere with wonderful hosts and staff. Extremely helpful and friendly. I so appreciated their guidance as to best places to go, and the convenience of being able to arrange from the hotel. Great breakfasts and dinner menu in their restaurant is a pleasure to have.

    There was nothing that we didn’t like.

    Our room was very comfortable with a beautiful view from the balcony. It was so nice to sit outside in the evening with a bottle of wine. The location was perfect, just out of the crowded center of town. The hotel was so full of charm & we loved that it’s been a family business for 4 generations. The staff was so kind and Gery & Gaby were so helpful with suggestions for our stay.

    Authentic Swiss Experience!

    There was very little to complain about, but being from the USA, I am of course spoiled. The bathroom could have been bigger. It was similar to the bathroom on a cruise ship. Shower was quite tight and I am average sized. It was certainly fine for our stay, but could be a problem if you are a larger person.

    A family owned hotel since the 1800s and it shows. Pride in ownership and all sorts of fun and authentic touches make this a great place to stay fir the real "Swiss Feel". Where else will you get an actual silver service with your meals? So close to everything we wanted to do during our short stay. The owners/staff were first rate and super helpful. You can even buy your tickets for many attractions right at the front desk!

    It's hard to describe how beautiful this hotel is! We loved it so much we wish we would have booked more time here. The view is breathtaking- breakfast was wonderful. The attention to detail is so appreciated. The location is up the hill, not too far but far enough for a quiet relaxed feeling. The staff was friendly & welcoming. I had a hard time enjoying it because I wanted to take a picture of every step in & out! This was a dream come true

    A few minor details- would have liked a small fridge in the room and improved tea and coffee making items( we missed milk).

    Lovely hotel, fantastic location and friendly, helpful staff, good size comfortable room and very good breakfast. We found the owners very helpful with advice about walks and being able to sell us lift tickets to save queuing. Bus stop right outside the hotel
