I really appreciated the staff being able to inform me of local sightseeing and the free bus pass! The parking availability was wonderful as well as being walking distance to the Downtown area and more! The children’s playroom and lendable stroller was fabulous! Computer/printer, breakfast, numerous different areas to relax. They really thought of everything!

Everything about this hostel was great. Location, dorms, hospitality. It’s right outside the interlaken Osp train station, there are some shops close by if needed. Everyone was helpful. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean and maintained. Breakfast was also good

If i could rate more than 10, I would! Perfect location in the middle of Interlaken Ost and Interlaken West stations. The place is beautiful, lovely views all around. Big enough to have space for yourself even if staying in a hostel. They have a lounge area, 3 dining areas, a mess hall, big kitchen to cook meals (they provide supplies, spices and condiments, mind you!), a garden, a laundry room (10 chf only), and a playroom. Everything in this hostel was well thought of. Rooms are cozy even if sharing with others. The staff are the most lovely and accomodating people I have ever met. They also have amenities that goes way well above and beyond and very much appreciated - free breakfast, you can borrow snow shoes, day lockers for use before check in and after check out time, free transport card around Interlaken, and free postcards that you can mail to your loved ones for a minimal fee! This place is the best place to stay in Interlaken, I didn't want to leave. Definitely coming back.

The location was absolute perfection. Located on beautiful Lake Brienz, surrounded by mountains and the sounds of birds. Across the road is a bar which also has food, such a great atmosphere and the views were breathtaking. Our room had a balcony which had lake and mountain views, it was unreal. We were so happy and felt so at peace and safe staying at Lake Lodge. Loved everything about our stay here!

Awesome view from our room! Very tidy and comfortable. Everyday we had fresh towels and water. The bad was made up everyday as well. The WC was cleaned and refreshed daily. Service was exceptional! It is all in attention to small details. My husband got a lot of care from the staff on his birthday. But even besides this occasion they were very very friendly!

All hostels in Interlaken

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

It's a perfect place if you just want to spend a night to sleep at the budgeted cost. You'll get a room with bunk bed to sleep, the other services like kitchen, rest-room, shower etc. are shared. The location is also great as it's near to the Interlaken OST station. You'll get the nice view of Aare river tributary just outside the stay.

Can't fault this place. Definitely one of if not the best hostel I've stayed in. Clean facilities, comfy bedding, two types of charging ports near the bed swiss and European which suited me as I only had European. Good laundry facilities 10 CHF for wash and dry is free and the building was just lovely. Lots of places to chill sit, indoors and out and free locker storage on day of arrival and departure downstairs. I will be coming back here.

Ignore other reviews, if you are here for an authentic budget backpacking experience look no further. This hostel is in a beautiful classic building, has amazing friendly and fun staff who went out of their way to add to our trip, great late night vibes and the lobby is even home to a lovely big St Bernard named Kai.

I’ve never stayed at a Hostel before! My son, 14 and myself had a private room and although very $$ for a hostel, it was so much cheaper than other hotels. It honestly was perfect. The room was simple but had everything we needed and space. The breakfast was free and so good! Washing was $$$ but handy! I would definitely stay there again.
