ペンション ジメルヴァルト

It was a lovely experience. When staff realized that we were booked into a double room at the end of a steep staircase, they offered us a triple room on the second floor. For our hikes, we could use hiking sticks that were there for the guests to use. My wife could even use a pair of spikes. The food was wonderful prepared with love, and we had nice conversations.

Rustic quaintness, felt like Christmas morning every day.

We had an absolutely magical stay. Loved reading in the morning, sledding in the afternoon, and exploring the village of Gimmelwald and Murren. We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast and dinners in the pension as well as nightly beer and hot chocolate.

Amazing stay. Peaceful location, fantastic staff, very memorable trip!

Beautiful location and next to transportation. It is an old facility. Very hard mattresses. Take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Very noisy as you can hear people talking in the next room. The floor creaks when people are walking in the room above your room and going down the stairs. Opt for the family rooms as they seem to be the ones with views. Our room overlooked the chickens and the clothes line with laundry. We tried the dinner meal the first night and had leek soup, spaghetti and ice cream. It was very bland and not representative of the region. When we checked in they stated we could purchase breakfast between 7:00 and 8:00 AM. We found out it was really served between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. That was too late in our estimation as we wanted to be hiking or catching the cable car. Staff appeared to be overworked though we had one staff member who was nice to us. Some shower rooms have very poor lighting and mold. Gimmelwald is a lovely village.

The staff are fantastic and make you feel at home. It is rustic living among the Swiss of Gimmelwald. I love this town, and love the hotel. The bar is fun to chill and meet others from around the world.

My wife and I found the staff to be extremely down to earth people. The small village of Gimmewald does not have a lot of amenities but we loved how authentic and unspoiled it is. There are many easily accessible hiking trails with outstanding views. The food at the hotel is excellent. I had concerns about having a room with a shared bathroom but that was no problem at all. I have traveled to all 50 states in the US and dozens of countries and this hotel was my favorite place that I have ever stayed at.

Pleasant, quaint atmosphere. Truly peaceful and relaxing. Would go there again.

What an amazing stay. The view alone was worth the trip but being located in a very small town right next to another hostel with like minded travelers there for the experience was priceless. Thank you.

Beautiful small village with amazing views.

A wonderfully authentic old Swiss chalet, wonderful hosts, majestic setting. What more could you ask for?

The location is okay, but if you want more restaurant options it’s better to stay in Mürren. The walls are super thin here and it’s disturbing. We could hear everything above us .. even the zipper on their suitcases. Footsteps and creaking boards are annoying. There was no hot water for showering. I would not stay here again. There are way better places to stay for that price.

The hotel is everything they describe; historic, rustic, quaint, with beautiful views. The village is calm and quiet with beautiful scenic views anyway you look. Many hiking trails pass through the small village.

Pension Gimmelwald is charming, cozy, and beautiful! If you want top notch hospitality, yummy dinners with a view, and a truly charming Swiss environment, look no further. We loved the village, the people, and the view. A peaceful piece of paradise.

Absolutely the best place to stay in this area! Would book again if I am back!

Rustic and clean place. Nice lobby / bar vibe. We had one dinner there which was simple and good. Breakfasts were totally adequate for all 4 of us. Highly recommend. There are lots of flies but that’s just the deal in the mountains. Loved the location - very quiet but super easy to move around by foot and/or gondola.

Great authentic feeling Swiss Pension, great views from Beer Garden Patio & upper deck, excellent host & staff. Walking paths right out the door.

Our first trip to Switzerland was made better by our experience here. Sabine and David have put together a great operation. All the employees were so helpful and friendly. Our room had everything we needed for our stay. It was nice having dining options in the pension as well. Sabine was a pleasure to talk with about things to do and helped us make excellent plans while occasionally dodging bad weather and raindrops. Thanks to her we did it. Lastly, the relaxing setting of Gimmelwald and the pension were so welcome for Americans who hear leaf blowers and cars in their neighborhood on a regular basis. In short, we loved our stay and highly recommend you consider this property.

This is an awesome rustic stay. Not posh, somewhat quirky, but charming and memorable. The hosts are very accommodating and welcoming. The restaurant and bar downstairs has a good breakfast and a dinner option available - the food was simple but fine. Rooms are small, with shared bathroom and shower facilities that were not my favorite, and not always very clean. But this is a really special place in the world and if you go in knowing what to expect, you will have an amazing stay.
