a beautiful stay in Grindelwald
We enjoyed our stay very much. The room was charming and very clean with a balcony looking toward the beautiful Alps!! We were welcomed by the owners and provided with helpful tips on how to experience the Alps from Grindlewald. We ate a dinner and a breakfast at the hotel with excellent service and very nice menu choices.
Parking was also available, free, and convenient.

Loved the early check-in. My room had an amazing view. It is walkable, but may be a little rough for some. About a 7 minute walk to the gondola stop.

Old world charm. Very good condition. Delicious breakfasts. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We did visit at a time when the weather was much hotter than usual and there was no A/C. Which made for uncomfortable nights, but the whole town had the same problem. We would stay here again.

We stayed in summer. Hotel is outside of town a bit but on a main drag (where busses go by occasionally - which seems to be sort of normal for this town.) Walkable - 10-15 mns to town center. Bar was welcomed and balconies were a nice plus. Amenities were adequate but not amazing.

This was a very cozy hotel. It was clean with a great breakfast and you could easily walk into town. We loved having our own little balcony with a table and chairs to enjoy the view.

Jun 26, 2024
For what I paid the room was tiny. There is hardly space to put anything anywhere. Room was hot in the evening. Wanted to go out to the balcony and smokers in the next two rooms prevented me from doing so. Shower only has shampoo no soap. Asked for some ice, I was told it is only for the restaurant guest. Stayed two days. First breakfast at the cereal bar the milk looked funky and it smelled. I asked the lady there and she initially said it’s OK but then when I showed she realized it was not (it was half way to yogurt) and changed it. The young help staff at the breakfast were friendly. BTW my bed sheets were worn out and had two holes.

I love family owned restaurants and hotels as they carry a legacy and this place just ticked all the boxes. Recently renovated with an amazing bathroom, great amenities and clean space to live. Bed was super comfortable. So accessible to the public transport, with options to park if needed. The entire staff was so helpful, always there to guide us. Helped me save money on passes and stuff by giving options. Would stay again when I visit next!

Hotel Gletschergarten is the absolute Swiss experience located at the edge of town beneath the beautiful alps. As it is family owned , four generations, husband and wife are hands on daily with staff so everything works like clockwork. Continental breakfast is enjoyed with a spectacular morning view. Dinners are delicious, convenient, and optional with a single menu every night.
