    Felt the smell of homeland India at Interlaken The River Village

    I just felt rooms are bit small compared to other premium rooms I have stayed in other parts of world. The rooms are comfortable but the amount was bit expensive for two nights.

    I came from Germany with my family for a leisurely trip and really we find it here. We travelled with one year old baby and was skeptical about the cleanliness until we reached there. But was very happy to see the cleanliness. Indian Food was the most favourite part for the whole family during our two days stay. The family who runs the hotel were very Friendly people. They gave their valuable time explaining us for finding nearby iternary with the baby friendly travel. We selected the premium room with riverside view and was awesome place to watch the mesmerising Alps and water with the vast sky open. If we ever go again to Interlaken Ost will prefer to stay here at the River Village. I am proud to be an Indian and finding people of own country in foreign land giving great hospitality was amazing experience as a whole.

    Welcome Desk could have been better and basic amenities like Blanket / sheets , Paper napkins / wipes were originally missing and were supplied on request. The Reception was open for limited hours only during the day. We had to wait to collect our keys as we had reached earlier.

    Location - amazing River backdrop, walkable from Main station Closer to Harder Kulm Funicular Point

    Our room was a bit cramped making it difficult to get around the other side of the bed when my partner was asleep. We were looking to find somewhere to leave our bags to continue with our journey, but the reception was only open from 2 and we were looking to leave at 10.

    With it being a shared bathroom, we were very apprehensive, however it was very clean (cleaner than some places with a private bathroom!). Location was okay, close to the station and river just a bit of a pain to walk to as you have to go away from the hotel to come back to it.

    The bathroom had no ventilation or requires more ventilation and gets warm after every shower. Due to no ventilation the toilet had a peculiar stink.

    The location was the best. Very close to Interlaken Ost station so you can reach on foot in 15 min. The food was really tasty. Specially the Naan and the tandoori roti.
