Nothing, it was unique

Friendly, old-fashioned family hotel

Stayed in June 2024

The Gletscharten is a lovely traditional alpine hotel in the quieter part of Grindelwald. We had a large corner room on the 2nd floor with stunning views towards the Wetterhorn, Eiger and Grosse Scheidegg. The hotel and rooms are spotless and the staff are friendly, efficient and attentive. We did not have half board but ate twice at the restaurant and both times it was fabulous.Breakfast was lovely and the hotel is very well placed for all the sites, walks and local transport etc.

The hotel is gorgeous, the views cannot be beat, the breakfast and dinner were fantastic, and the owners are some of the most thoughtful, pleasant people we have encountered anywhere in our travels. They knew we were traveling for our 10th anniversary and they went the extra mile by decorating our dinner table, leaving us some delicious chocolate, and giving us a hand-drawn and lettered card congratulating us. We couldn't recommend staying here more!

I am so glad that we came upon an opening here! Look no further, book this hotel! We loved the location at the quieter end of Grindelwald. You'll appreciate the peace of being away from the center of town when you enjoy the views from your balcony or when you have your windows open at night. The dining room boasted had beautiful views and the dinners were quite affordable and 5-star (four courses). The service was incredible from the wait staff to the owners who are at the front desk all day. The owners helped us plan our day and sold us transportation tickets (same price, no lines). Make sure you get off at Allmend station and walk into Wengen to experience the cows and their bells! At the end of our daily wanderings, we enjoyed happy hour in either one of the lounges or on the front porch. The room was quite comfortable and spacious. This is a little piece of heaven that we cannot wait to experience again.

Nothing. I absolutely loved everything.

I loved everything about this hotel. Everything was exceptional. We liked that it was at the quieter end of town. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a beautiful view from the balcony. The hosts were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. We ate dinner here one evening and the food and service was excellent. It felt really special. It feels like a family hotel and all of the spaces are full of comfort. Loved the paintings and decor.

The pillows were soft but the kind that flatten out so they were not comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was in a great location, away from the crowds but close enough to walk to down town. The hotel is well appointed and exactly what one would think of for an alpine hotel. The room was cozy and we had a beautiful view from our balcony. Their was enough space, a safe and supplies. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and with excellent service.

Can't say one thing bad about our stay.

Hotel Gletschergarten has to be one of the nicest hotels in all Grindelwald. This was our second time staying here and it was even better then the first. It is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. Its's in a fantastic location with breathtaking views. The primary room and bathroom were clean, modern and functional. The breakfast was excellent and the dining area is a beatuiful venue with great views. The owners, Gabriela and Gery were so helpful and nice. They even helped us by purchasing our tickets to some of the local attractions. I can't say enough about the staff. They were extremely friendly and nice. We had a car and parking in Grindelvwald can be quite difficult to find. We were very pleased that we could park at the hotel and it was very refreshing that we weren't charged a daily fee for it. Everything is great about this hotel! We strongly recommend staying here if you plan to visit Grindelwald. We enjoyed it so much we plan on staying there again next summer when we return to this beautiful area!

Shower is a bit tiny and i kept bumping into the door/wall.

We were given one of the best view (corner room) with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. It was one of the rooms that had not been remodeled yet but I didn't find too dated, more traditional Swiss-style. The bed were very comfortable. The hotel offers a good variety of options for breakfast and it was delicious! Location is a bit farther away from town, which makes it quieter. There is a ski room at the basement of the hotel for storage and to vent your gear. The basement also has a ping pong table, pool table, a piano, games, etc that we ended up utilizing on a day when all the lifts and gondolas were closed due to strong winds.

The shower was too small because the doors fold inwards. It would be great to have a towel rail close to the shower as well as a shower rack.

The hosts were attentive and friendly. I enjoyed most of facilities provided. I asked for breakfast to be packed for an early day the night before and they gave me a decent meal! Balcony is spacious and room is sufficient as well. The bed was extremely comfy and there were 3 curtains to ensure sufficient sleep. The place is nestled just off the main area making it a prime location to access the town but to also have a peaceful stay. The place has a lift as well.

It was a real pleasure to stay at the Gletschergarten Hotel. Gabriela and Gery were wonderful hosts and ensured that our visit was most enjoyable. The hotel is really beautiful, with a true old-world feel to it. Our room was very cosy and convenient, with amazing views from the balcony. The breakfast had something for every taste, with high-quality products. We also had dinners at the hotel several evenings and were left very impressed - everything was delicious, and for a 3-course prix-fixe meal, this was a very good deal. A special mention goes to the great ski storage room equipped with boot dryers.

Standard room is quite tight for 2 people, if you can afford to upgrade then would suggest so.

Hotel is so wonderfully Swiss'y - great atmosphere with wonderful hosts and staff. Extremely helpful and friendly. I so appreciated their guidance as to best places to go, and the convenience of being able to arrange from the hotel. Great breakfasts and dinner menu in their restaurant is a pleasure to have.
