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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16F8B12D2F8A7DC6BB8008ADAED24A49E97FBED01726205867516.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/82A3CD01D87FF9B3636CE28BA039FB62F63D6CA61726205973881.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/10B66E5EC9647D3B0F6E9CC54D3ADD149A616CD51726205972570.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0D0D8E1B0115B3CBE9333E948678DD642F300BF51726206133265.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Thomas Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Serena 30 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Serena Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Albert 5 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our first trip to Switzerland was made better by our experience here. Sabine and David have put together a great operation. All the employees were so helpful and friendly. Our room had everything we needed for our stay. It was nice having dining options in the pension as well. Sabine was a pleasure to talk with about things to do and helped us make excellent plans while occasionally dodging bad weather and raindrops. Thanks to her we did it. Lastly, the relaxing setting of Gimmelwald and the pension were so welcome for Americans who hear leaf blowers and cars in their neighborhood on a regular basis. In short, we loved our stay and highly recommend you consider this property. ##### Albert Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 2 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful location and next to transportation. It is an old facility. Very hard mattresses. Take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Very noisy as you can hear people talking in the next room. The floor creaks when people are walking in the room above your room and going down the stairs. Opt for the family rooms as they seem to be the ones with views. Our room overlooked the chickens and the clothes line with laundry. We tried the dinner meal the first night and had leek soup, spaghetti and ice cream. It was very bland and not representative of the region. When we checked in they stated we could purchase breakfast between 7:00 and 8:00 AM. We found out it was really served between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. That was too late in our estimation as we wanted to be hiking or catching the cable car. Staff appeared to be overworked though we had one staff member who was nice to us. Some shower rooms have very poor lighting and mold. Gimmelwald is a lovely village. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jeffrey 7 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rustic quaintness, felt like Christmas morning every day. ##### jeffrey Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hailey 18 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Absolutely the best place to stay in this area!
