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

Il n'y a que trois WC, trois lavabos (et trois douches) à partager avec l'ensemble de la clientèle de l'hôtel et du restaurant. Embouteillage assuré, de très tôt le matin à très tard le soir. Même sans fête, ni client-e-s bruyant-e-s, les chambres sont terriblement mal isolées, l'escalier en bois (qui mène au dernier étage) est incroyablement bruyant et vous réveille dès 5h/5h30 du matin, avec les premiers aller/retour du personnel et de la clientèle (et ce, malgré des bouchons d'oreille!). De plus, aucun rideau, volet ou store à la fenêtre = aucune intimité et de la lumière toute la nuit (d'un lampadaire) ainsi que très tôt le matin (avec le soleil qui se lève aux alentours des 5h). Bref, un tarif bien trop élevé pour une chambre double (120.- CHF la nuit), alors qu'il faut passer par un dortoir pour y accéder et qu'il s'agit que de simple lits jumeau. Le petit-déjeuner est très pauvre, avec du café soluble, des confitures industrielles, du pain pré-cuits... Il y a également un restaurant/bar où on peut déguster une boisson fraiche après une longue marche. Les pizzas n'y sont pas exceptionnelles (et trop chères pour ce qu'elles sont) mais ça passe après des heures de rando! Mais l'emplacement, en revanche, est à couper le souffle avec une vue imprenable sur les montagnes. L'hôtel se situe à deux pas deux pas du téléphérique (vraiment en 1-2 minutes à pied), parfait pour débuter et terminer des randonnées. Le personnel est très gentil, très jeune, multilingue.

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 👍🏼 😀
