    This hotel is super old with tiny bathrooms. That means low ceilings, musty smells, no warming towel racks, no lift and all things antique and tiny. Not bad things, just not a good fit for us with allergies. Also, very, very dimly lit at night, needed cell phone flashlights to get in and we have always been in before 10pm

    The hotel room was super super clean! I loved that.

    The man handling the property appears to be a rude frustrated guy. We didnt find him welcoming at all and he was rude.

    Old heritage hotel and very well maintained. The vibe at the hotel is nice and the rooms are cozy. Next to the church so the bells ring every 15 minutes but we did not have a problem with that. It had a good vibe.

    In our room the inclined roof made it a bit difficult for us to fit in the shower/bathtub. Also, there is a nearby church, the bell sound of which we did not notice throughout the evening, but that can be a nuisance for some people.

    The hotel was very well located, 5 minutes away from the train station connecting the rest of the cities in the area, as well as to Schynigge Platte. The possibility of leaving the car in the hotel was great for us, and inexpensive compared to public parkings. The room was very clean and well sized.

    Location is good if you have a car. There is a beautiful river in front of the hotel. Staff do not know English. Breakfast was okay, not many options available. Parking for car is CHF 4 per day. Overall, fair stay.

    Not able to reach staff later in the day, we had some questions about checking out and availability to have breakfast early, but was not able to find anyone, and no way to reach someone. Lack of AC.

    Location is amazing if you are exploring the jungfraujoch region. Its a quick 5 minute walk to the train station, and another 5ish minutes to Interlaken. You are also able to catch the train the other direction to Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald. The room is on the smaller side, and is a little dated, but the bed was comfortable at least. The breakfast was ok, which was mainly breads, sliced cheeses, and cold cuts of meat. Cereal and yogurt are available as well as some fruit. The wifi (free) worked well and was stable throughout the visit (100+mbps). The shower was in the tub, and you are not able to stand up while showering. No elevator on site, so expect to carry your luggage up the steps. Be aware there is NO AC in the rooms. We visited in July which luckily the temps were not too bad, but after leaving for the day and coming back the room was definitely hot and stuffy. We opened the window and the doors to our balcony, and while it quickly cooled our room down, it also let it lots of spiders, which quickly put an end to having our door open. We did sleep with our window open every night, which seemed to not let in spiders, and was amazing listening to the river rushing by.

    Location is near to train and bus station makes us easy move to other destination especially to jungfrau. Staff super helpful, I got bonus 2 bottles mineral water free of charge before leave, thank you very much. This hotel is recommended to stay during holiday in interlaken area.

    Very old hotel with minimal to no service and outdated furniture. Ridiculously high and totally out of proportion price.

    Excellent and well furnished breakfast in a nice, traditional setting. We liked the location in a little village close to a nice church and a historic, wooden bridge.

    The location was absolutely perfect. We were right next to the river and an old historic church and cemetery, which, we were delighted to discover, was the final resting place for the daughters of two musicians I studied as a pianist - Mendelssohn and Schumann. We were also just a very short walk from the train station, bus stops, grocery stores, and the historic train to Schnydige Platte. The town itself was small and peaceful and did not feel overrun by tourists, which was a huge plus in our minds.

    It’s a bit nitpicky but it could get really warm during summer. Maybe a fan in the room could help. We left the balcony door open to let air in but it also lets small insects inside and some people may not feel so secure with an open door. But again, it really did not impact our stay that much. Just something that I think could be improved.

    The location and the vibe. Very cozy and serene. My toddler loved the place. People complain about the church bella next door but we barely heard it. The sound of the rushing river is so relaxing.

    The hotel had a lot of rules around what we can and can't do with use of the kettle, how best to shower, which I understand given the historic nature of the hotel and the risk of damage but the hotel owner was a little rude when trying to explain this to us.

    Great location, very close to key attractions in the Interlaken region and the surrounding areas. The breakfast was lovely and have a good variety of options. Rooms were spacious with a clean well equipped bathroom.

    The owner/manager did not speak English. Getting clear info from him was difficult. He appeared not very helpful. After breakfast, no staff to be seen.

    Breakfast was warm and fresh had a very good choice. Manager's wife was much more friendly and tried to explain things during breakfast even with language barrier. Homemade decor made the place homely.
