Reviews of Hotel Gletschergarten 3 stars

The view is unmatched. We had an upper floor corner view room and despite it being rainy for a few days, our view was spectacular. Breakfast was good with fresh breads/croissants, meats/cheeses, hard/soft boiled eggs, juices, fruits, yogurts, jellies, cereals, and more. Coffee and tea was also served. The property was very cute and had an authentic Swiss Alpine feel. The location was perfect, in short walking distance to everything including Grindelwald Terminal. There was no charge for parking. There's a game room on the bottom floor with books, games, billiards, a card table, and more. Perfect for a rainy day/night. The staff and the owners at the front desk were delightful and very helpful and accommodating.

There's no thermostats in the rooms - it's all central heating. It was quite hot at night, especially with the down comforters. We needed to keep the windows open at night - which caused us to wake up frequently when large trucks would drive by on the street, especially after 5am. When the windows were closed, though, everything was nice and silent. The wifi was good, and we were able to relax to a show before bed on a tablet, but there was no way to do anything with the TVs in the room. The system they have does not allow casting or screen mirroring, nor does it allow any apps such as Netflix, Disney, etc. As tourists who speak English, we didn't really watch any of the mainly Swiss German channels that were available through the TV. I'd recommend bringing a Chromecast or something that'll allow you to use your own apps or cast to the screen.

View was great, location was close to town. Owners were super helpful. They gave us great advice on hikes to do and even printed tickets for the train and the tram for us. Breakfast was delicious. We ate two dinners there and they were also very good.

Great location, amazing view from our room and balcony- exceptional staff !!

Our room was a little warm and the only way to cool it off was to open a window. Also there was a step down in the Junior suite room that we needed to be careful of.

Hotel exuded the care the family has taken over generations to develop a hotel with unique and beautiful finishes. The breakfast was continental but was great. The views from our balcony were breathtaking.

Leaving!

Very good

The room was exceptional and the staff were so warm and accommodating! Fabulous location at the quieter end of town which was so peaceful but everything was still incredibly accessible (we were only a 5 minute walk to the First cable car). We wish we had booked a longer stay!

It would have been nice to have a hot option for breakfast, but this was by no means a deal-breaker - what was offered for breakfast was very tasty and the breakfast room was gorgeous and cosy.

The staff are very friendly and informative , they are very warm and share their suggestions on hiking .

Cosiness, view from room is amazing.

Parking, location, view

Small room and bathroom.

Located on the edge of town away from the noise, with fantastic views all around. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had the 4 course evening meal on 3 of our 4 nights there, and all were very tasty.

Nothing to dislike

Really beautiful hotel and room with a private balcony. Vining geraniums in window boxes everywhere. Beautiful sitting rooms and front porch.

The property is quite expensive, worked out to about $433 US $ for 1 night.

Very nice with a real Swiss flavor.
