Convenient location, comfortable beds and astonishing view from the windows. The personal was very friendly and let us check in earlier.
Built in the 1890s, this historic hotel was one of the first hotels in Lauterbrunnen. The family-run Hotel Staubbach offers panoramic views of the Staubbach Falls and Lauterbrunnen Valley.

The staffs were super friendly, great location and the view for breakfast was stunning. Overall a very charming hotel.
The family-run Hotel Alpina right in the heart of the car-free resort of Mürren offers you a unique location and spectacular views over the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains.

Very friendly stuff, beautiful view, wonderful food
The Hotel Jungfrau is situated next to the ski school with its own exercise area for children and offers direct access to slopes around the car-free village of Mürren.
Located at the foot of the ski slopes, Historic Hotel Falken was one of the first hotels in the Jungfrau region. It offers a music room, a terrace and guided walks.

Wonderful staff - really friendly, helpful, great service. The rooms were beautifully furnished, and the bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. The collection from the train station, and lift to the ski lift in the morning was also a really nice touch.
Hotel Mürren Palace has a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Mürren.

Very nice hotel….but the town itself was very limited in commercial offerings….very boring shops and mediocre restaurants at extremely high prices. The best place in town was the supermarket.
Offering an indoor pool and a sauna,the Braunbär Hotel & Spa - former Alpine Sunstar Hotel is situated close to the station in the car-free village of Wengen, which is only reachable by train.

Superb refurbishment :)
The rooms are now more like modern contemporary rooms rather than the older-fashioned traditional and basic rooms often found in Switzerland, even in expensive hotels.

This place is spectacular for the hiker, photographer, and the traveler who has to visit the coolest places in the world. You are literally surrounded by Alps, reaching clost to 10,000 feet ABOVE your already lofty altitude. The Swiss offer a dozen or so ways to get around, including cog railways, narrow gauge railroads, cable cars, trails, and an occasional road. Individual prices, except for the Jungfrau, are pretty reasonable considering the extraordinary expense of building and operating transportation systems in a remote place.
The completely unexpected pleasure from our trip, other than the camaraderie that we felt at Esther's, the Moutain Hostel, and Pension Gimmelwald, was the trip to the summit at Schilthorn. The cost for the cable car from Murren was in the $40 range, but the views were 100% worth it. We went around 0900, and walked around at the 9700' summit until we got enough courage to see if we could afford the revolving restaurant at the top. The prices were completely reasonable, and we didn't get any sideways glances for our order of coffee drinks and frites! Such a pleasure to be treated well even if you're not dropping $150.
While you could stay for a week or more in Gimmelwald, I think that three or four nights is optimal, probably with some time elsewhere in the valley. I suspect that Murren gets 10X the traffic, and it's lovely, but give me Gimmelwald anyday. Good places to eat and stay, and you cannot beat the views!

Gimmelwald is a picturesque village with stunning views at every turn. We stayed at Esther's Guesthouse, which is ideally located right next to the cable car station. There's a lovely park just outside the station where our kids had a great time playing. We took the cable car to Murren one day and hiked the trail from Gimmelwald to Murren on another, giving us the chance to explore both charming villages. One of the highlights of our stay was the honesty shops, where you can pick up fresh milk, eggs, and cheese—perfect for families with young children. We also enjoyed a fantastic pizza at the hostel restaurant. Overall, Gimmelwald offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, convenience, and unique local experiences

I can’t imagine a better location for exploring that part of the Alps then Gemmel world. You get wherever you want from right there. And it does not feel at all like a tourist town, such as Interlaken.

Absolutely magical place.
Absolutely magical place. We were only there for one night sadly. But went to Birg at sunrise (the cafe was closed and the only people there were construction workers but it was incredible to see the sunrise over the alps with that view). We had pizzas and beers at the Mountain Hostel - the pizza was amazing! Would recommend to anyone.

Very happy with my stay! The owners were so helpful and accommodating! The place was very clean and looked great. The owners were very kind and so quick to help once I realized my phone adapter didn’t work with Swiss electric outlets. They found an adapter immediately even though it was past 10pm. I didn’t get a chance to try the breakfast because I left the hotel early every morning.
amazing view from the hostel, with chairs, and couches can lay down and enjoy the mountain view outside.
inside is cozy with many instruments.
location is pretty nearby the "Gimmelwald" gondola station.
Absolutely everything. The location is stunning. The atmosphere in the hotel is special and the owners and staff were lovely. The rooms
were cozy and the beer exceptional.
