We stayed in this hotel for two nights - it’s very very comfortable. The hotel is full of character, very typical of swiss inn! Breakfast is delicious and the hosts were lovely! They provided us with lots of information to get around the area, and they also picked us up and drop us off at the train station.

The view of this hotel is simply stunning! In the evening we sit at the balcony and the view of the Alps was breathtaking!

So much to do at Grindelwald! Highly recommend this hotel! We would come again!

To stay in Grindelwald versus other towns in the area = my thoughts on that topic below but if you are staying in Grindelwald, this hotel offers you the experience of staying with family while still having your privacy. The owners are so pleasant and authentic. The breakfast experience is worth making sure your daily plans do not start too early because you do not want to miss out on the morning atmosphere. I stayed in a top floor room, and it is so well laid out. The bathroom was upgraded and modern in all conveniences and fits and finishes. They get an A for effort in trying to give you as much privacy as possible while on the balcony, but the back door room design means you might be looking into other peoples rooms if you are out on the balcony. The photos used for the balcony views have a of a glamour shot thing going on but with that said the hotel is such a pleasant experience that I would recommend this to anyone.

This is my third visit to the region and my first staying in Grindelwald. The pros are the easy access to the train going down to Interlaken, buses going up and over the hills and three gondolas going up different mountains. Also, more food and shopping options. However, my favorite towns are Murren and then Wengen and then Lauterbrunnen and then Grindelwald for summer visits. There is just nothing that beats being higher up in the mountains like at Murren and Wengen. I also feel Lauterbrunnen is the most convenient for genuinely being able to expand your daily travel options since it would be the quickest to get back to Interlaken and beyond. Also, it does get a bit hot during the day, and this hotel (like all the others I have stayed at) do not offer AC, so the ones in Murren and Wengen cool off right at dusk.

It is a leisurely 10-minute stroll back to the train station and central areas. I had some friends staying at the Sunstar Hotel, and that also seemed nice in that it was right in the middle of town and had a large lobby and lounge area to hang out along with an indoor pool and expansive lawn in back to hang out and enjoy the views. I would still probably choose the Hotel Gletshcergarten because the quaint family feeling is just more my style.

We chose this hotel based on Trip Advisor reviews and were very glad we did. It was wonderful. It's a little bit out of the center of town (like a 2-minute walk) so it's close enough to get into the action, but was so nice and quiet. The views from our rooms were wonderful, and we had balconies with chairs and tables on them to enjoy that view. Parking was free and just across the street, so very convenient. Wifi was also free.

The rooms were clean and very comfortable. They had everything we needed.

We needed to do laundry and the hotel had a wonderful laundry room which was very convenient.

Breakfast was very good with a lot of options.

The people who worked at the hotel were very nice and very helpful. They gave us great tips for where to hike. They decorated a breakfast table for someone who was celebrating a birthday and when they heard we were there to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday, they even gave her a wonderful gift! They were just so nice.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and highly recommend it.
