The breakfast was wonderful and service exceptional. If you stay here, please be sure and take the path behind the hotel. Views are breath taking.

The setting is unbelievable, like all hotels in Grindelwald. Our room opened onto a spacious patio with amazing views. The room itself was fine, nothing remarkable about it. During a September visit, we would have liked to have utilized the sauna but we were told it was only open on request during the "summer months." We would have preferred to stay somewhere with more amenities such as a pool or hot tub but we had a pleasant 1-night stay here nonetheless.

Wonderfully hospitable service and excellent attention to detail. The owners were very kind and offered kind suggestions of things to do in the area. The location is perfect as well - right at the end of hustle and bustle of Main Street but easy walking access to everything. Also, we had stunning views of the glacier and peaks from our room! Absolutely loved this hotel!

Magiskt hotell i sagolika Grindelwald

Jag bodde på det fantastiska familjehotellet Hotel Gletschergarten i den mysiga byn Grindelwald med utsikt över de vackra bergen. Personalen var mycket trevlig, god frukost och rent och fint på rummet. Jag kan varmt rekommendera detta fina familjehotell. Passa även på och gör ett besök uppe på berget Jungfraujoch. Europas högsta berg med en fantastisk utsikt.

駅からは12分位歩きますが、それ程大変ではありません。 チェックインすると、村内のバスのチケットをメールでくれたので、フィルストのゴンドラ乗り場、グリンデルワルド駅、アイガーエクスプレスの乗り場のターミナル駅迄のバスに無料で乗れます。(30分に１本位)。 バス停はホテルの直ぐ前で、駅迄３分、ターミナル迄も７分位 駅迄歩き、ターミナル迄1駅列車に乗る事なく、ホテル前から直接行けて便利でした。 外観もスイスらしいシャレーでお花が綺麗で、お部屋も思ったより狭くなく、テラスが広くて、教会の塔と山がちょっと見えます。(テラスは隣の部屋と繋がっています。) バスタブは深めでシャワーも使い易いです。 (ボディソープとシャンプーは一体型) 朝食は、パンやシリアル、ハムやチーズ、フルーツ、ヨーグルト全部美味しかったです。茹で卵は、茹で加減を聞いてくださり、熱々の半熟卵が出てきます。 チェックアウト後も荷物を預かってくれて、最後駅には、バスで行けて、とても良かったです。

Such a treasure in Grindelwald. My wife and I loved this quaint hotel. Doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles like a 5 star resort (no pool, no ice machine, no fridge but they have a wonderful breakfast in the most beautiful setting & the room we stayed in (34) was perfect for us. The staff was so warm and helpful and we just loved the history and the fresh flowers adorning the outside of the hotel. We experienced ZERO issues and the hotel head would get us ice on request (Americans love their ice) ;)
