Gorgeous Hotel with incredible Owners
Pros:

A group of 4 women, ages 70 - 81 did a supported hike (luggage transfer) in the Jungfrau region of the Alps. Gabriela and Gery's beautiful Hotel Gletschergarten is located in a pretty little mountain town with incredible views. The food was great, workers very nice, and we had a balcony that got maximal use. Most importantly, Gabriela and Gery went out of their way to help us at the beginning of our trip when we were still very unsure of how the transportation up there works, how to find trail heads, etc. They booked us train tickets and even booked an extra hotel so part of our party could avoid a particulary difficult hike. They got us off to a great start on an incredible journey. I would return again, just to stay with them in Grindelwald.

Lovely Hotel in a great location
Pros:

We stayed here for 2 nights in late May 2026. Our room was very comfortable for 2 people with great mountain views. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the buffet style breakfasts had numerous options to choose from.
We very much enjoyed our stay here and should our future travel plans take us to Grindelwald we would stay here again!

またゆっくり数日泊まり、色んなハイキングコースを楽しみたいです。
Pros:

歴史ある建物やインテリア類も素敵でした。随時にアートやお花をモチーフにしたデザインも。レストランからのviewも素晴らしく絶景を観ながら優雅な食事ができます。
また、ご厚意でバルコニー付きのEigar viewにお部屋を変更いただきました。
フロントのマダムと男性もとても優しく、雰囲気が良い方でした。

Cons:

冷蔵庫が欲しかったです。
また、仕方ないかもしれませんが、レストランにハエが良すぎて食事に集中できないことがありました。

A wonderful hotel run by some genuinely lovely hosts. Overall one of the nicest and memorable hotels I think we have eve
Pros:

A super family run hotel in a great location. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I’m struggling to think of when we’ve been looked after better. Really comfortable spacious room and incredible views from our balcony. Food was first class.

Cons:

Nothing.

Can't wait to return
Pros:

Just returned from a wonderful stay at this family-owned hotel. Warm and friendly staff, comfy beds, quiet rooms, and a delicious breakfast (amazing breads, jams and fresh fruit selection). Beautiful views out every window, plenty of storage space in our room for our gear and clothing. There's an immaculate and modern wellness spa with a steam room, sauna and relaxation room, a really charming common area, well-appointed with plenty of seating (see photo) and a large games room for kids. Highly recommend.

AMAZING!!!
Pros:

I have so many great things to say about this hotel…its location is the best and I swear it has the BEST view in town. We stayed in a junior suite in room 337 and it had the most amazing wrap around balcony with the most incredible view of the gorgeous mountains I have ever seen in my life. I have traveled a lot and this view hands down takes the cake. The room was so comfortable with just enough modern touches but still keeping the wonderful traditional Swiss chalet charm. The hotel is what you think of when you think of Switzerland…a beautiful traditional wooden chalet with flower boxes lining the balconies…it was just perfect!!!

We added on a half board and I’m so glad we did! Breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious every single meal and it was so nice to just go downstairs for dinner after a long day of exploring.

The owners were absolutely phenomenal and so kind and helpful…you can tell they take great pride in their beautiful hotel and making sure each guest is happy and taken care of.

We stayed for 9 nights in Switzerland…4 of which were at Hotel Gletschergarten and it is hands down our favorite from our whole trip. I cannot recommend enough!! Do yourself a favor and book this amazing hotel. You will not be disappointed. The memories we made here will last and stay with us forever. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Wonderful stay in Grindelwald
Pros:

We (myself - the mother and 2 sons (19, 20) stayed in the apartment Wetterhorn, owned by the Hotel Gletschergarten, and almost opposite to it. It's a wonderful location, close to the centre (about 10-15 mins walk) and with exceptionally large, sunny terrace with breathtaking views. The apartment is very convenient, it has everything one might need, a bedroom with 2 beds, a very large sitting room and kitchen area, and another bed which could be for one or two people, as well as a very comfortable sofa. There is enough room for 5 people. Towels and sheets are provided as well as some condiments and soaps/shampoo. It's very clean and well organised. there is a bakery opposite which opens at 7am and also stocks essentials like eggs & milk, and a supermarket is only 10mins away, as well as another bakery/cafe. Great walks/hikes directly from the apartment and the wonderful Gabriela and Gerhard are there to answer any questions! We appreciated the flexibility of not having a Saturday check-in and the possibility of staying 5 nights. Overall - a lovely trip and we were sad to leave...Price-wise it was very reasonable given the similar accommodation options and probably much more convenient!

Treated us like family
Pros:

A warm and friendly welcome greeted my friend and me as we finished a very strenuous hike the day of our visit. The owners of this beautiful hotel treated us like family, the room was comfortable, the view incredible and the restaurant meals delicious. The owners graciously helped us solve a ticket mishap that allowed us to continue our Bernese Oberland hike stressfree! We will always remember the stop in Grindelwald!

GREAT FAMILY PLACE
Pros:

This little privately owned hotel in the mountains is the greatest.
I took my whole family there the first part of June.
Hotel is very old family owned business for over a hundred years I think. It’s in great shape and the owners take great pride in their business.
Rooms are nice and the meals are good.
Note they are in the mountains so no AC .
We happened to be in town when temps were in the 90s (very uncommon)
All in all we had a great time in a great hotel.
