Not always a table available in communal restaurant and leisure area if it's a busy night and you check in late.

Real authentic Swiss mountain village feel. Great view from double bed family room. Nice breakfast. Cozy restaurant. Great stone fire pizza. Informal family vibes.

We had two nights in a common room and one night in a private room, in the common room there was a father with two quite young kids. Personally I don’t think a hostel room is appropriate for kids so young and I wish someone told us that not everyone in the room will be over 18yo.

Great views :)

Dorm is too cramped up with 16 beds (= 8 bunk beds) in a room. Alternatively, you have open space to sit along side bar.

Beautiful location (right in front of Gimmelwald Cableway Station), simple complementary breakfast and excellent bar sums up my single day stay here. We lit a campfire outside, grabbed couple of drinks from the bar & chit-chatted with everyone around. You can use common kitchen but make sure you buy the stuff from Lauterbrunnen or Interlaken while arriving as this village has literally no store. Visiting Schilthoorn is easy-peasy from here.

That Hostel was a sensational place. Absolutely stunning. I loved gorgeous and lovely all staff. Thanks for everything.

Low beds

It's in a good location. Staff were really friendly and helpful especially Steph from Vancouver. We were about to cut our stay short because being in my 50's, the bed that I've got is not that comfortable having back problem issues and knee issues but she managed to find a more suitable bed for me so we could stay until our check out date. Thank you Steph. And Nicholas who checked us in, he was very friendly. They've got excellent customer service.

I like this place so much. The bathroom and toilet always clean. There is a big kitchen for us to cook. We also can talk with all the travelers here and build a network with them. The view also very beautiful. All things are perfect here.

The beds in most rooms have no dividers so there is not much privacy unless you are in the male only dorm. I thought from the booking photos that there were dividers in all room but unfortunately not the case. Luckily they allowed me to move to the girls only room where I was more comfortable with the close quarters.

Location incredible, friendly people, and great food (pizzas). The breakfast was also generous and delicious. We took the cable car up to Birg at sunrise (the cafe wasn't open and there was almost no one there - it was absolutely worth it for the incredible views). It was a treat to stay here because of the views, and the friendly other travellers.

You can feel a little congested at times if there are more number of people.

Fantastic place, friendly staff, cozy place, amazing view, good place to socialize, good food.

Brilliant Food and location

I was in a mixed dormitory where the beds were VERY close quarters. I have stayed in hostels before and know what they are like, but this was particularly close quarters. Comfy beds though, and to be honest, it was hard to think of a negative for this place.

The location and scenery is unreal and was something I couldn't believe every time I stood and took in the landscape of where you were. Breakfast included is a touch. Staff were all super friendly and the hostel as a whole is just good vibes.

Good breakfast, it feels like home and I definitely want to come again to this place...Breathtaking views with easy access to cable cars and Murren....An excellent place for solo travellers to make some good friends...No words can explain how good this place is.

Nothing! Beautiful space!!

The staff was excellent. It was our first time in a hostel and we were a bit hesitant, but once they welcomed us to the warm and inviting atmosphere we were in love with the views and people and guests. We didn’t want to leave. The pizza was great, and the mulled wine was even better. So glad we did this trip. We were very comfortable in the private room as a couple, the bed was comfy, it was warm even though it was freezing temperatures outside.

Shared bathrooms and not enough of them

The location is amazing. The pizza was glorious. And sitting around the fire. Awesome. Hikes in every direction

Great experience, would definitely recommend and stay for future trips. what a great view of the mountains and a wonderful place for people to hang out.

We loved this place. The hostel in welcoming and cozy. Lot of effort is put in place for that and we really felt like at home. The stuff is nice and open. Bathrooms were always clean. Can’t recommend more! Keep in mind there are a couple of cats going around if you are allergic.

Our private room didn’t have a key. Someone has lost the key and they haven’t taken the steps to fix a new lock. And they didn’t seem to care about it much. One lady at the cashier apologized to us. But later on the chat someone responded saying yes our private room doesn’t have a key as if it’s a feature. The staff already mentioned the key is lost so saying that they don’t have a key is not right. For us the purpose of booking a private room was to have our privacy and sense of safety. Otherwise we would have booked hostel beds as well. We had to take our belongings each time we went downstairs to make sure they are safe and it was uncomfortable for us. Please take some responsibility and fix your locks or accept your mistake without saying our private room comes without a key. Ridiculous.

The location looks amazing. The views are great and I think it’s the most beautiful location we’ve stayed in. Breakfast is provided. Not much variety but it’s not bad. Staff is nice and friendly.

What a great time we had here. Cool people working the hostel. Gimmelwald scenically was amazing. We got a private room. Shared bathrooms were nice. Pizza for dinner was good. Good beer/wine. As a guitar player I had some fun jamming with some of their staff. Very FUN place and vibe. Breakfast was more than we expected for sure. They bake the fresh bread there! Several Swiss people had told us Schiltihorn is the more scenic viewport versus Junfrau top of Europe. And Junfrau you go up via train which in tunnels most of the time. So we took their advice and went to the Schiltihorn via cable car and stayed up there for hours before going to check in at the Hostel which is on the same cable car route. I have to say that was the correct call! BEAUTIFUL!

It totally exceeded our expectations. Best way to spend our 25th wedding anniversary. Imagine waking up with a view of the Alps from your room, what could be better than that? Add the friendly and homey vibe of the place, the best pizza we've ever had, and guests and staff who all make you feel like family. Our experience was truly magical. We definitely recommend the Mountain Hostel and would stay here again next time we visit Gimmelwald.
