Hotel Gletschergarten

This was our best stay out of 5 places in Switzerland! The hotel and our room (27) were FIRST CLASS. Our wrap-around balcony had views of mountains with glaciers. The room was quiet and spacious. We ended up eating the price-fixed dinner at their restaurant twice because it was so good. The owner even picked us up and dropped us off at the train station. And Grindelwald is a fabulous destination - far better than Zermatt. We are returning!!!

Everything!! forget about the luxury brand new resorts..this is the real place for you! very friendly and welcoming! lovely atmosphere and authentic design and hospitality!!

nothing..I fell in love with this hotel!

A lovely family run authentic hotel, full of charm and history. We felt welcomed straight away, our room had wonderful wooden alpine architecture with a balcony view of the mountains. Plenty of storage for cloths and a huge comfortable bed. Although we booked for B&B, we found the daily dinner menu so good and reasonably priced that we ate at the hotel every night, although our decision was influenced by the tendency for rain to occur during the evenings. Good fortune, as we had five days walking without any rain. Young and old, we are both approaching 75, were at the hotel and it was a convivial place to dine, with much chatter between quests. All the staff were lovely, but we would like to mention Rossi and Joseph for their attentive care and send them our best wishes. We highly recommend Hotel Gletschergarten.

Really nice people at reception, the owners I'm assuming. Comfortable bed. Nice view of the mountains off our balcony. It was helpful that you could buy tickets for local activities at the hotel front desk. Good sized bathroom with towels provided. Short walk to town to find restaurants/things to do. Has a rustic-cabin feel that's classic Swiss Alps.

Breakfast options were not particularly impressive. Room key was attached to a super heavy piece of metal that was annoying to carry around. No protected luggage area - anyone could grab your stuff. Expensive for what it is, but I think that's all of Grindelwald.

The property is simply beautiful. A family run hotel at the base of Eiger making for a spectacular setting. The nearby church with the steep mountains in the background are a treat for the eyes. It is away from the crowds of the town but near enough to quickly walk. Our rooms were spacious with a beautiful balconey to relax. The owners were helpful with advise on where to go. We are dinner there one night and it was a very enjoyable dinner. The service at breakfast and dinner is really very good and so is the food. Grindelwald is such a beautiful place we could’ve easily spent a week there!

Fantastic stay! Had a small and very quaint single room with an Amazing top floor balcony view of the mountains & church! The room was very comfortable & quiet! Gaby & Gery were wonderful hosts and very kind & friendly too! The breakfast and dinner were delicious, with beautiful views of the mountains! It was fun exploring all the unique dining rooms and the old photos and antiques in the creaky stairways. There was a surprise moment when I heard some loud, clanging cow bells from the breakfast room! I went out the front door and there were many cows marching up the street with their beautiful bells! 😊 There are so many great hiking opportunities around Grindelwald! I did a long steep hike to Brandegg train station! It was a very rewarding hike with Amazing panoramic views in every direction! Every once in a while, you could hear a noise that sounded like thunder. I believe it was the ice falling from the Eiger! There's a bus stop just a few steps from the hotel! There are so many choices for excursions, that I have to keep coming back again and again!

The fixed menu dinner is excellent and the service all around the hotel is one of the best we experienced. The attention to details makes a big difference to other properties and the owners are present every step of the way to make our stay enjoyable. The well equipped play room filled the days when snow conditions did not allow us to hit the ski-runs. The shuttle throughout Grindelwald stopping in front of the hotel is very convenient as well as the free entries offered to the Grindelwald Sportcenter (ice skating, pool) to all benefiting of the visitor card are of great value.

Nothing

Breakfast and dinner were excellent. phenomenal local wine and spirits collection. Conveniently located in front of the bus stop, which can take you anywhere in town. They do luggage transfers (only if the next town's train station participates in this service). This is great if you want to hike to your next destination with only a day pack. We did a day hike from Grindelwald to Hotel Edelweiss in Murren. Hotel Gletschergarten shipped our luggage to the Murren Train Station, and Hotel Edelweiss retrieved our luggage from the train station.

Love this place so much! The rooms are extra large and special, and the mountains are just outside the balcony! The view is picturesque. The house is over 120 years old and it was a pleasure to stay here, Gery and michel were exceptionally nice! The hotel breakfast was rich and delicious, and you can also buy tickets for excursions to the Jungfrau directly here. Thanks also to Gery for driving to the train station to pick us up. All in all, fell in love with Grindelwald because of this hotel!

We all enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff were very friendly, courteous and helpful. The location was excellent with a pleasant stroll to the shops and restaurants. Carparking places opposite hotel were great also. The room was clean and basic with dated decor but the lovely, modern & spacious bathroom made up for this. The bed was comfortable, except for the pillows. The veranda with it's lovely views was a real treat in the evenings. The breakfast consisted of fruit, yoghurt, cereal, breads, meats and cheese and was plentiful. Limited menu option for an evening meal but there were lots of restaurants close by.

Pillows- were very flat and not good. Only herbal tea and sugar in the room. We expected to have sachets of coffee. This still wouldn't put me off staying here again.
