I loved everything. The personal was so kind, they Give me breakfast the day I arrived, before my check in. Also, they Gave me a card to local bus free. The bus station is next to the hotel, so you dont have to walk a lot.

Excellent hotel. The view from our balcony was incredible. The room was nice and warm. The beds were comfortable. The wifi worked fine. The personnel in the reception was friendly and helpful. It's nice that the room had provisions for hot water. Also, great price-to-amenities ratio. The hotel provides free parking. The centre of the town is around 20 minutes walk, which is fine by me.

The room was great - modern, immaculate, spacious, beds were comfy. There was also a heater to keep us warm. As we travelled by car, the free parking was a big plus. The hotel also had a common kitchen with everything needed for cooking plus the fridge. Location was great if you have a car, close to the Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen. The staff were very friendly. The price was reasonable comparing to other Interlaken properties.

The staff are too friendly and very efficient in providing the best facilities to the clients. They were even ride to provide us a drive when the bus to interlaken got cancelled and we were to miss our paragliding slot. Breakfast is the best. Their Swiss Culinary(we had our dinner there) is just delicious.

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.

It was probably the cheapest hostel is a great location with a very eclectic atmosphere. Its hostel as well as a hotel I think. The building is definitely old so it has a lot of interesting character.
