Breakfast could start a little earlier than 7:30 am

Mountain Hostel is a vibrant and welcoming place, perfectly located with stunning surroundings. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, with excellent staff and respectful guests.

No personal bathroom in the private room

I woke up to the most insane view of the mountains with snow on top!

It is a hostel with many beds in a room, very tiny spaces to slide into. Not much space to put backpack. The bathroom is shared men/women. Although it was well priced & that is how mountain huts are. Some of the rooms are a bit more spacious.

Location was amazing. Hangout area was great & the outdoor dining.

Since I stayed in a mixed room there was obviously gonna be people snoring, the hostel offers earplugs though! The beds are really close to each other

The best vibes, best views, best food! Perfect for solo travelers

A really cool spot in the mountains with breathtaking views. The highlight of the stay was the amazing atmosphere — friendly people, great energy in the evenings, and unforgettable conversations around the campfire. Truly a wonderful experience.

Nothing :)

Great atmosphere in a gorgeous village with plenty of good hikes and walks around. Staff were friendly, great food at the hostel, private room was cosy, seating areas outside had the best views with a homey vibe.

I should have probably stayed longer.

I have stayed at this place before, loved it and now staying here again and seeing all the improvements is a real gift. The accommodation itself is simple - I slept in a dormitory with capsule-like beds and a direct view to the mountains. The breakfast provided is all you need for a good start into the day and the on site pizza that doubles as dinner is delicious. It remains one of my favourite hostels in the mountains and would choose it again and again for my explorations in the Jungfrau region. The area is just perfect.

The bathroom was a little crowded and messy (water splashing everywhere) because there are so many occupants in the hostel compared to the size of the bathroom Of course it is a hostel so you have to deal with the bunks but it was very crowded and stuffy sometimes

The location in the village, the breakfast and the pizza We were able to do our laundry in the afternoon The staff and other travellers were all very special and nice

The flies! I understand this is apparently part of Swiss farm life due to nearby livestock, however we didn't not experience that level of flies anywhere else in our trip. We felt there definitely could be more done to lower the level of flies as it was pretty crazy. Like you'd be sitting in the communal area with literally dozens of flies sitting on you, an open bin in the kitchen and only one small fly zapper in the kitchen.

The view, the facilities and the staff were helpful. World class location and overall fantastic.

There are a lot of flies, especially at breakfast time.☹️

Picturesque place, amazing view and great staff. The interior is lovely, piano and guitars are available for those who want to play. 😜😊 Toilets and bathrooms were very clean. The weather was bad during our stay, it was raining, but that didn't affect the beauty of this place. The most beautiful village in the Swiss Alps.

Very close quarters sleeping arrangement in the dorm, however this didn't really bother me. Made it feel more like a mountain hut.

Very cozy and welcoming vibe, super social and stunning location. Nice staff and tasty pizzas

Full of character, excellent pizza and cold beers . Great views from garden terrace even live music the night we were there

Like other parts of Gimmelwald because of the cows a whole lot of flies… they should buy some zappers, beds were tight but functional, low ceilings for 6’6” guy, not a great kitchen - never got the oven to work, pretty small for the number of guests.

Great vibe, helpful staff e.g. where to hike, nice communal spaces inside & out, fantastic breakfast, beer wine & mixed drinks available, nice big combo lockers

- the sleeping situation was a bit confronting, I am not sure if I missed it when I booked and I am surprised no one else has mentioned in the reviews that you may be sleeping in a room with nearly 20 people directly next to you and only separating you by a curtain. There was no space anywhere in the room to leave my bag or clothes but I was only there one night so it was fine. - had to make your own bed etc,, it was a very budget, backpacking experience which is not a negative thing but just so people know when booking if you are not looking for that be aware - the food was expensive and had not many options, the breakfast was very very basic with no eggs or anything

- absolutely amazing view and location, truely a picturesque place and the interior was also super cosy and lively - the hostel had a great social vibe, I became friends with some other girls in my room it was really nice - the staff were also nice and young so it had a really nice community feel - the toilets and bathrooms were very clean - wish I could have stayed longer and enjoyed some of the events and outings organised there

Nothing that I feel dislike

- a lot of flies in common space and kitchen - instant coffee as part of breakfast...just a simple filter would be so much better - lack of any veggies and eggs in breakfast - toilets quite far from the room... I mean it's 2 flights of stairs but yeah not next door - shared hostel lockers in front of a private room aka a lot of people standing on the front of your room and making noise

- beautiful views - cozy common space - well equipped shared kitchen - warm simple room - accomodating staff - chill people

The view and the location of the property is amazing.

The room felt slightly crammed with so many beds

The location was exceptional! The staff was very friendly and met many other travelers!

The staff was very friendly. Rooms were comfortable for a hostel although I will say that my pillow smelled really bad and I had to cover it with my daughter’s sweatshirt in order to sleep. The bedding seemed slightly damp as well and might need some extra drying.

Stayed in May 2025

The tranquil surroundings and the staff made for a great experience. I would recommend this for solo travellers, couples or large groups. Breakfast also was really nice! Amazing views and so peaceful
