Mountain Hostel Gimmelwald

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

This place is very cozy and has many positive aspects. First, there are lots of places where you can sit and relax, both inside and outside. Second, the kitchen is, in my opinion, a real highlight of this hostel. You can take the cable car up to Mürren, the village above Gimmelwald, buy groceries at the supermarket there, and then come back to cook together with your friends – I think this is a really nice activity, and not every hostel offers something like that. Finally, there is the bathroom. Although the men’s and women’s bathrooms are in the same area, the facilities themselves are good and nicely renovated.

We loved our stay at Mountain Hostel. Not only is the location impossible to beat but we met some new and interesting friends while staying here. While the sleeping arrangements were a bit unconventional (especially for us travelling on our honeymoon)... there is no other place in the world I would have rather slept in that close of quarters with strangers other than here.

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