    The Mountain View hostel in Gimmelwald is absolutely gorgeous, with a cosy and clean interior. It offers a range of amenities like games and a piano, making it a perfect choice for bigger groups of friends. The showers have warm water and the whole place is well-maintained. The fully facilitated kitchen allows you to cook your own food, or you can order delicious pizza. The hostel is located in a fantastic, less touristy area with breathtaking views. It is conveniently located right by the lifts and offers easy access to hiking routes. The owner and her team are incredibly kind and caring, ensuring a comfortable stay for all guests.

    Felt privileged, no complaints.

    I stayed at the Mountain Hostel for a few nights during a hiking trip. The atmosphere was great, and the beds were decent for a good night's sleep. The real benefit was having a kitchen and fridge available. The front desk was also very helpful for planning hikes and activities, and the location near the cable car was unbeatable. The staff was friendly, and the common areas were warm and cozy. a fantastic option for a budget stay in an amazing location.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    The hostel is located in a prime spot, just a stone's throw away from the gondola station, making it convenient for exploring the surrounding mountains. The unblocked view of the mountains from the hostel is breathtaking. There is a well-equipped kitchen available for guests to store and cook their own food. The staff are friendly and helpful, providing a welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the common room is filled with musical instruments and board games for guests to enjoy.

    The noise level in the hostel can be a bit higher than expected due to the older building, so it may be advisable to bring earplugs for a peaceful sleep.

    The value for our money was really good at Mountain Hostel. Our room was cozy and had a amazing view of the mountains. The staff treated us like family, making us feel right at home.

    One small thing that could make the breakfast option even better is having a wider variety of pastries.

    I recently stayed at Mountain Hostel in Gimmelwald for a week-long hiking trip. From the picturesque location with stunning mountain views to the cozy mountain house style facilities, everything was perfect. The dining area facing the mountains was breathtaking, especially during breakfast. The informative posters filled with humor added a nice touch. The spacious bathroom and WC cabins were a pleasant surprise. I could go on and on, but I don't want to spoil the other amazing features you'll discover there.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    I stayed at the Mountain Hostel for 5 nights while exploring the beautiful Jungfrau region. The friendly staff and volunteers made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The hostel's location was perfect for hiking, and the breathtaking mountain views were a constant source of awe. The food, especially the delicious pizza, was a highlight, and I loved hanging out in the cozy lobby. The facility was clean and well-maintained, and there were plenty of games, books, and music instruments to enjoy. the Mountain Hostel provided a memorable and enjoyable stay.

    Would recommend this hostel.

    I had such an very nice stay at Mountain Hostel. The view from the hostel was amazing, and I couldn't get enough of it. The location was perfect for exploring the Swiss Alps and going on lovely hikes. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they even recognized that we were from Canada and surprised us with Quebec Maple Syrup. That was such a kind gesture! The beds were comfortable, the washrooms were clean, and the eating area was sociable. I loved the fact that they made pizzas, although I didn't get a chance to try one.

    We had an amazing experience at the hostel! The room was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. The location was amazing, nestled in the middle of the Swiss mountains. The staff were friendly and were really good too make sure we were comfortable. Highly recommended!

    Breakfast delights, but it would have been even better with more variety.
