Excellent location and the host was also super nice. He greeted us in person and patiently explained and recommended to us local activities and traveling tips. The room was superb and clean.
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.

Our stay was perfect! The room we were staying at had a balcony facing the entrance to the hotel, with the windows closed, we could not hear any noise from outside. The breakfast was very good, quite an extensive spread. Some plus points, there are some guests lounge, with lots of teas and coffees, which we could also take up to our room. Also, a fully equipped “picnic room”, where we can have our take out food, and even a microwave oven to heat up the food. The picnic room is very cosy, and looks so pretty too! There was no TV in the room, but there’s one in one of the guests lounge.
The family-run Hotel Alpina right in the heart of the car-free resort of Mürren offers a unique location and spectacular views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains.

The breakfast was fantastic and it was free with the stay. If the fog wasn’t there, the view into the valley would have been amazing. The bathtub is a nice touch and so was the built in usb charging plugs.
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.

Everything was amazing at this hotel. Food was great, staff friendly
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.

The view from our rooms was amazing! We overlooked the village, and we were a short walk from the train station and the gondola lift station to Mannlichen. Location was perfect! The rooms were comfortable and large with plenty of space. Delicious daily breakfast and we stayed in for dinner one evening and enjoyed that as well.

We absolutely love Mürren, and we were so happy to find such a beautifully renovated hotel. Most hotels in the area tend to be quite old. We stayed in a one-bedroom suite and absolutely loved the decor and the spacious balcony with its stunning view. We can’t wait to go back!
Offering an indoor pool and a sauna,the Braunbär Hotel & Spa - former Alpine Sunstar Hotel is located close to the station in the car-free village of Wengen, which is only reachable by train.

The room has an excellent view. I can see the mountains just at my balcony.

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.
