    Enjoyable and affordable stay in a touristic hotspot

    Everything is a bit worn out, room cleaning during stay could be more thorough, more sockets and a clothes rack would be helpful.

    Beautiful Belle Epoque building that features both a hotel and a hostel, lovely garden, animal friendly management, room was spacious and comfortable and quite clean.

    The bed was damaged that’s why I didn’t have a good night sleep.

    Staff were nice. The view from the balcony was amazing.

    You can argue that the place is a bit old/outdated in style, I liked it, felt nostalgic. Beds could be a little better. Not serious. Got a full night's sleep

    In a quiet part of Interlaken, which is a must see town, nothing less. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, huge dog will welcome you in the lobby. Big Lidl down the road. Balcony with an astonishing view of the mountains

    Quite a far walk from the train station (but there are some buses that can shorten your travel)

    - Staff was very helpful. - There's a common space on the first floor (reception level) with sitting area and games. But we didn't have time to check it out much. - Room was pretty spacious for a family of 4 with our own bathroom. Bed was done up nicely too.

    The toilet was the main issue, it was loose and rocking, almost impossible to use. The room had no locker, the bed frame was not the strongest and not much comfortable. I would recommend it for short stay, have no idea about staying more than 1 or 2 nights.

    It's a beautiful building with a wonderful scenery in a walking distance from the railway station. Staff were available and easy to check-in. The room was cleaned well, and the quality of the internet connection was acceptable.

    Door to shower was broken/no lock, water pressure in the shower was weak, and the shower is uncomfortable if you're taller than 6ft (182.88cm). Bed sheets seemed worn out.

    Location was great, near bakery and bus station. Room was spacious and late check-in was convenient. They gave us bus passes for Interlaken, which was awesome.

    You get what you pay for. Do not expect warm hospitality.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Bed in 10-Bed Dormitory Room

    1) lack of bedside sockets to charge phone 2) absence of fridge to put food 3) absence of simple cooking facility to cook your own food 4) staff weren't that friendly (I am Asian and I have been to a lot of Asian hostels/hotels so I have a subjective standard of friendliness)

    I really really love their friendly dog, Kai. Honestly made the stay super happy. It is also very near a bus station which can get you to Interlaken Ost. It is also an easy 15-20 minute walk from Interlaken West train station. The hotel gives an overall old rich classy vibe.

    The charging hole is a bit old and loose. Better to get a new one.

    View: The scenery of the double room is incredibly stunning!! I enjoyed spending time on the balcony and watching the sunset, mountains and the snow-capped mountains. It gave me a most soothing and enjoyable atmosphere during my time in Switzerland. I had thought Interlaken would be a boring city and thought this hostel was a bit far from Interlaken Ost/West Station (for us, a 15-minute walk is acceptable. And it was a wonderful time, especially in Interlaken. We were chatting while enjoying and taking pictures of the scenery!) However, the traffic was beyond my expectations. It is convenient to get to Interlaken Station. ps. You'll get a free bus travel card whilst you arrive at the hostel. Staff: The receptionist is friendly :) Room: I would say it was definitely better than I expected from the pictures I saw on booking.com. It is worth the price.
