Beautiful hotel at a beautiful location, few minutes walk from the train station. The owners Gerry and Gabriella were charming and helpful during our 3 night stay. Gerry himself picked us from the train station on arrival and dropped us back ,which was very thoughtful of him. We were given room with the most beautiful view which we truly loved.... More

First things first: the hotel is a pleasant walk through the village from the train station but please note that they will gladly pick you up and drive you to the railway station if so desired (we did not know). In general, if you are on an adventure outside the hotel and need some help, do not hesitate to call... More

Spent 1 week at this wonderful hotel and loved the entire stay. Gabriele and Gerhard are wonderful hosts who accomodated everything from transportation to and from the train station to recommending the best skiing conditions each day. The hotel set-up is perfect for skiers as there are secure, warm places to store equipment so that it is dry and ready... More

The location is just a few minutes walk from the centre of the town. The staff are warm and friendly and always willing to help, If you were to give them any criticism it would be the menu could have been changed around a bit. A tad "same same" after a week. However the whole experience was rather enjoyable. Would... More

This was our second visit to the Gletschergarten and again we were so impressed with the wonderfully personal hospitality that is a big feature of the hotel. Very friendly and extremely comfortable and we look forward to many more visits both in winter for skiing and summer for walking.

My wife and I just spent two nights at the Gletschergarten in Grindelwald. The hotel is a nice place with lots of history. In talking with the owner, her family built the hotel over 100 years ago and has been in the family for 4 generations. The service reflects the heritage. There were also beautiful common spaces... a bar, breakfast/dinner... More

After having stayed there, i can fully understand why this hotel is ranked number one! More than the hotel itself (which is central, easily accessible and has spacious rooms), the hospitality of the hosts is really remarkable. Also, we had dinner there and have enjoyed the fresh food and the good cuisine. We look forward to coming next season! Thanks... More

Can we say more about the this superb hotel. The family that runs it is so nice and accommodating. They act a tour guides as well if you ask. We ate dinner here often in our 7 day stay. Staff is terrific. Sauna and steam room are superb, ask for sauna to be turned on in summer. Beds are comfortable.... More

My son and I just returned from another stay in Grindelwald and the Gletschergarten. We had a great time there three years ago and wanted to stay there again. The hotel is extremely comfortable and the hospitality was again unmatched, from the owners/managers, Gery and Gabriella, to the dining staff. They could not be more friendly or helpful throughout our... More

We stayed for the second year at the Gletschergarten, and everything was again above expectations. We loved the warm homey welcome and atmosphere...the excellent food served quickly and efficiently by the whole team as well as respectful of our dietary requirements. No bill signing for drinks and extras makes life so much easier...' Our kids used extensively the ping pong... More
