IMO Gemütlich is more closer to "cozy" rather than "Convival" which Gezellig is being used for in Dutch.

You mean convivial (the same word in French, slightly different meaning)

Yes convivial is the perfect translation for gezellig. I don't understand why articles about gezelligheid always claim that it is somehow untranslateable!

Thanks for the clarification.
