Esther's Guesthouse

Gimmelwald was absolutely breathtaking and Esther's was very wonderful. Fully stocked kitchen so we were able to make some meals which was great as we came in the off season and many things were not open. Laundry service was very helpful for our long trip. The views were outstanding. Esther's was very clean and organized and quiet (again, off season). Our room had a lower ceiling than expected so I did hit my head a few times but that's mostly my own lack of spatial awareness.

Esther's Guesthouse is hands down one of the most spectacular places I’ve ever stayed as a world traveler. Nestled in a tranquil mountain town, it offers unmatched views that will take your breath away. If you’re seeking a peaceful getaway, this is the perfect destination, surrounded by stunning landscapes and an abundance of hiking and outdoor activities. The steep gondola ride to the town is an exciting adventure, and if you drive, you can park your car at the bottom of the gondola for the duration of your stay. Typically, they charge for parking, but during our visit, construction was happening, so we were fortunate enough to park for free. It’s just a 40-minute walk to Mürren, where you can find more dining and shopping options, but the charm of this quiet town is truly special. We rented a room with a private bathroom for two nights, and it exceeded all expectations—the room was clean, cozy, and featured a walk-in shower. The hospitality at the guesthouse was equally remarkable, making our stay even more enjoyable. If I could give this place a higher score, I absolutely would! We will definitely be returning to stay here again soon!

We were last minute screwed over by the mountain hostel. With no place to go we stumbled upon esters guesthouse and were able to stay here for the night. They were so nice and helpful and everything was so clean and spacious. Tobias was so kind and we loved talking with him about gimmelwald. I hope to be back one day
