Located just a few steps from the Gimmelwald cable car station, the hostel provides a homy atmosphere but no private rooms. As a hostel, you sleep alongside strangers in bunk beds lined up next to each other. In the room where me and my wife stayed, we shared it with around 10 more persons. If you are not used to this set up, this may not be the place for you. Also, bathrooms are shared/unisex. Otherwise, the place is good. You can cook your own food if you want, just wash the pans/plates that you used which is not a big deal. Their pizza which they are noted for is just awesome, very good. They have a patio where you can enjoy your drinks. I would go back to this place.

After a long day of hiking in the wilderness this spot got us quenched and fed! The apple drink was not very good but the pizza was actually really satisfying. And you cannot beat the scenery and the little booth! For a lunch stop you don’t have many Gimmelwald options but this was a good stop

We felt immediately at home. Janine from the staff was very friendly. She brought us fine drinks and a homemade muffin with cream, which was delicious. Perfect place to unwind after the crowded day in the funicular, with hammocks and lounge chairs. There's also 52 beds during the summer. Highly recommended 👍🏼 😀

Amazing hostel in a fairy tale like town. Great little restaurant and atmosphere. Helpful staff. Best scenery ever. Clean, fun and all around amazing place. Am in Europe for a month and this was the absolute highlight.

Just one word....Perfect ! The staff awesome, super pizza (you can create your own recipe !), we had also live music, nice view, clean and comfortable ! Ci siamo trovati Benissimo al meraviglioso Mountain Hostel, abbiamo avuto il piacere di godere della musica dal vivo, del panorama mozzafiato, dell'accoglienza impeccabile dello staff e della proprietaria ! Buona anche la pizza da comporre con gli ingredienti che vengono scelti dal menu ! Torneremo sicuramente !

Magical setting above the Lauterbrunnen Valley! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the sunrise/sunsets together… Worth a visit for some pizza wether you’re staying overnight or passing through. The staff is on standby for much needed beers after the Via Ferrata trip!!! 😳😳😳 Will be back I’m sure! 🙏🏻

We only stopped in for a drink while hiking but the views, service, cleanliness, welcome & vibe were excellent! Has a young feel but we oldies received a warm friendly welcome! Can recommend the hot chocolate (delicious), coffee (good n tasty), and chocolate muffins yummy!

In 1990's this was a great place, but now just a loud noisy bar that carries way past 10pm normal quiet hours in Switzerland. More like Florida Spring break party than reflection of peaceful scenic Gimmelwald.
