Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful! The rooms were spacious and offered breathtaking views of the Eiger, and the dining experience was fantastic, especially the breakfast. The staff made us feel at home with their warm and attentive service. If there's a downside, it’s that I wish there were even more dining options, but overall, I couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind in nature.
I had a delightful experience at this hotel, with stunning views and modern, spacious rooms that made my stay comfortable. The restaurant was a highlight, offering delicious meals that made it hard not to dine there every night. However, service was a bit inconsistent, and at times, it felt understaffed which affected the overall dining experience. Despite this, the hotel provides great value for an enjoyable getaway.
My stay at Hotel Glacier was nothing short of magical! I was absolutely thrilled with my room; it was clean, spacious, and had stunning views of the mountains. The location was fantastic, away from the hustle and bustle, which made for a peaceful experience. The breakfast was varied and fresh, which I really enjoyed. The only downside was that I didn’t get a chance to use the spa facilities, and there was one meal pricing that could be more affordable. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel.
I had an incredible stay at this boutique hotel, which was newly refurbished and offered stunning mountain views. The room was spacious, modern, and had a big comfy bed that made my stay incredibly relaxing. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, though there was a minor issue with utensils provided in the room. Overall, a fantastic experience with excellent dining, but I hope they improve the utensil situation for future guests.
We had a lovely stay at the Boutique Hotel Glacier, celebrating my husband's birthday in a cozy yet elegant environment. The honeymoon room was charming, featuring a private jacuzzi with breathtaking views. However, our arrival experience was marred by a long wait for check-in, and a few service hiccups during our dining experience left room for improvement. Overall, though, we enjoyed our stay with fantastic breakfast options and a welcoming atmosphere.
