    Excellent beautiful location in the small town of Gimmelwald! So much to do for an outdoor lover in the winter. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. The food was fantastic and healthy.

    This is a very small complaint compared to how wonderful the stay was, but its worth noting noise travels very easily. I was worried this would keep me up at night however I just played some white noise on my phone.

    Incredible location, unique property, amazing hospitality. Mountain views were unbelievable. I enjoyed dinner cooked by the owner two out of the four nights I stayed and it was delicious. It feels like you are stepping into another world or another time altogether- truly felt like an escape from modern life which is exactly what I was seeking.

    This is a very old structure. We used the stairs to access the 3 floor hotel. We didn’t notice an elevator.

    This is a well preserved 19th century hotel located in the beautiful alps. The rooms were large with comfortable beds. A sink is in the room. There is a fun casual bar/ restaurant area that has a guitar, piano, books and board games. You will need to take the cable car to access Gimmelwald, a non car hamlet. The hamlet of Murren is a very short walk.

    I can't think of anything I didn't like. I was wondering if I'd mind not having a private bathroom, but it wasn't really an issue.

    Staying here, you feel like you're in a friend's home. The staff makes you feel welcome and nothing is a bother. Very laid-back feel, nothing stuffy and formal. Breakfast was great. We had bread, jam, cheese, coffee, fruit, yogurt and musseli each morning we wanted it. Flowers and candles on the table were a nice touch; nice background music. Dinner and drinks also great--we usually ate on the terrace with a drop-dead gorgeous view of the mountains. Loved the old wooden Swiss hamlet feel. Loved the robes and slippers. Very comfy beds and pillows.

    You might here some noise from your room neighbor, walking on top of your room or from neighboring rooms. But it was bearable and usually short as everybody is tired from day trips. If you like an authentic old wooden house, those are acceptable side effects. Everything else made us want to come back.

    The place was authentic and cozy. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the view from the terrace and the very good food. We had a shared bathroom what we usually do not book, but it was not a problem. It is an old wooden house and this is what we wanted. The place was very enjoyable for our children and they would like to come back (parents as well). It is a very peaceful place in the mountains, where you can do a lot of hiking activities from there and forget your stress.

    Noise from the room next door was a bit distracting.

    We loved the entire experience! We felt welcomed and taken care of by the staff, and we really enjoyed getting to know them. Our room was lovely, and we loved getting to look out our windows and see paragliders, mountains, and the garden with chickens. The location in Gimmelwald is ideal! The food was amazing - Jens did an awesome job on the barbecue! We would definitely come back. Thank you to Elena, Heike, and Sabine. You all are amazing hosts and so hardworking!

    While efforts were made to control them flies were abound. But,that can be expected with cows and sheep and horses around, just a bit annoying

    Absolutely fairy tale like! Charming, authentic, stunning views, awesome food and wonderful accommodations! Beds had feather bed comforters , shared bath rooms were meticulously clean- felt like visiting family. Truly magical!

    As an old building, there will be creaking and cracking but it's part of the charm for me.

    The location is absolutely perfect, the food at breakfast is simple but good and the dinners are lovely. The bar is stocked well enough and the house beer is delicious!

    This is a quaint older hotel/pension with shared bathrooms (why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5.) The outside patio with spectacular views and the home brew was great. It is family-friendly with children playing (somewhat noisy) and babies. We ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel, and the food was ok. The staff was very friendly.

    Sharing a bath is always going to be a small challenge/adventure. The house is creaky and charming, but if you’re a light sleeper, you may want to bring earplugs.

    Pensión Gimmelwald has endless charm. The home is situated steps from the cable car station and the views are absolutely jaw dropping. Sabine and the staff are perfectly attentive and clearly enjoy being the gracious hosts that they are. The rooms are impeccably clean and larger than expected. The rustic charm and ambience and the warmth of the hosts truly make this a home away from home. It was an unforgettable experience!

    The only thing that would have made it better? If I could've stayed longer.

    The food was excellent. Beyond expectations. The location could not have been better. I'm not into exciting aprés-ski. Just what I want after a hard day of skiing, quiet and relaxing
