Mountain Hostel Gimmelwald

A must stop in Gimmewald (this review is for the restaurant only). The views are fantastic — you're surrounded by mountains all around. We stopped by after paragliding and learned from our guide that the restaurant hosts fun themed nights, like 80s night, which was happening that evening. The pizza had a crispy crust and was delicious, and they serve a great selection of beers. This is a place we'd come back if we lived in the area.

Such an amazing place! The hostel has a really warm and cozy atmosphere, and the people here are incredibly friendly 🤩🤩. The pizza, punsch and brownies were delicious, too! Even though the weather wasn’t the best during my stay, the hostel made me feel comfortable and cozy.

I recently attended a wedding at this beautiful venue. The staff were amazing. All the food and drinks were wonderful. Our entire group had a fabulous time. It felt like a cozy home mixed with a classy elegance. Thanks for making this once in a lifetime experience such a special celebration.

We had a wonderful stay in Gimmelwald! Amazing location with lots of hiking and incredible views. The free breakfast was perfect and the kitchen was great for cooking meals. Their pizza was also amazing! I would like to remind travelers to bring a towel, pack towel works great. 10/10 highly recommended this beautiful place!

If I could leave 10 stars I would. Breathtaking views in a breathtaking Country. Visited for 3 days with a family of 20 while my mom got married (The most beautiful backdrop imaginable) The staff was impeccable, sweet, gracious, and kind, especially to our crazy family. Delicious drinks, delicious food, all around a wonderful experience. I would recommend this place First to anyone who asks for a beautiful place to stay in Switzerland. 10/10 Experience!

So far this has been my favourite hostel to stay at on this European trip. The hostel has stunning views. The common area inside is very social and outside has great views of the Alps. Staff were very helpful and food and drink was reasonably priced. There was also a very good kitchen and complimentary breakfast. The dorms could be a little cramped but I felt they were comfortable. The general vibe was that everyone would return in a heartbeat.

Our stay at this mountain hostel in Switzerland was nothing short of unforgettable. Perched in what truly feels like the most beautiful place in the world, the views alone are worth the trip—but it was the experience inside that made it so special. We came with a large party, and the staff could not have been more gracious or accommodating. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us with warmth, kindness, and a fun spirit that made us feel completely at home. The food was absolutely amazing as well. If you ever get the chance to visit, don’t hesitate—you’ll find breathtaking scenery, amazing food, and some of the kindest people you could hope to meet.

Amazing place tucked away in a small village the mountains. In summer they have beautiful concerts with an incredible atmosphere! I love going there regularly and the pizzas are the best! I'm excited to try their new poké bowls soon! The owner and her team are so friendly and helpful, always giving their best for the guests.

Great hostel. The service is superb. Location, location, location ... with magnificent views. Petra and Walter Brunner will take great care of you.
