    We loved our stay at Pension and Gimmelwald was the most magical place we visited in Switzerland.

    There were not many vegetarian or pescatarian options for dinner whilst we stayed there.

    The staff were amazing and made us feel at home. Breakfast was really great and value for money. The location was totally amazing!!!

    I wish there had been a common area to sit and relax when the bar and kitchen were closed

    The owner and staff were wonderful! Located in a quiet little mountainside town, Pension Gimmelwald was a comfortable, cozy place to stay. The owner even shared the recipe for her wonderful almond cake!

    Incredible location with fabulous views. The owner is lovely and was excellent with our kids (aged 2 and 5) they loved the stay too. Felt like home from home. We were in a family room, there was plenty of space for four of us. Bathrooms were clean.

    Absolutely nothing!!! Got to like the mountains!!!!

    Breathtaking. Cozy. Accommodating. We hiked around, sliding on their sleds everywhere. Up and down the amazing mountain cable cars. Available right out the door from Pension. Owners are on sight and most helpful. We sat late afternoon by a stove fire and sipped beer and wine…Homemade dinner. Very very affordable!! Would / will come back.

    The only downside of our stay was my wife arrived sick. The owners went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable and able to recover. At such a busy time as Christmas this was truly appreciated and we hope to be back so we can all experience this wonderful place again together.

    Absolutely everything. The location is stunning. The atmosphere in the hotel is special and the owners and staff were lovely. The rooms were cozy and the beer exceptional.

    Creeky floors could be loud, but that was understandable given the age of the building

    Awesome atmosphere the staff have created. Homely feel, well-decorated, and a charming historic building. Delicious breakfast & dinner--would highly recommend that experience too!

    Gimmelwald: stay real, stay magical!

    The pillow (only one) was too soft. I asked for another one and it helped, but I prefer firm pillows in general, and this is a problem in the USA as well.

    I loved the nooks and interesting seating options throughout; from inside the restaurant/bar area to the deck outside facing the mountains. The setting is the star, but the vibe is enhanced with music tracks that always seemed perfect; I loved the breakfast, but only opted for one dinner. They serve one meal family style; since I am a little "particular" and not much for red meat etc. The one meal I ate was a pasta dish, salad and dessert - wonderful and a lot - you get your money's worth! The one lunch item I ordered was delicious and substantial: grilled Halloumi cheese on a roll with tomato, lettuce and a slightly spicey condiment with potato salad and greens. Fresh and tasty and no meat! People come from all around the globe to visit; this is a fun place, but if you want to experience this awe-inspiring setting quietly, you can do that too.

    If you are looking at this location, then you likely already know what Gimmelwald represents. A small community near Mürren, so cozy, clean, and natural. We had an amazing experience returning to this villa after 14 years. The Pension and hosts were extraordinary. Be sure to join for dinner!

    The rooms have almost no sound insulation. A person walking upstairs feels as if they’re walking in your room just louder. This means that when a person gets up early, you get up at the same time because the Noise is so high

    Excellent breakfast. And Location is perfect.
