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!

There isn't a wide variety of options for breakfast, but all the available choices were of excellent quality. The location is perfect, located between the west and east stations, each just a 10 min walk away. The room was cozy and very warm.

I recently stayed at this charming hotel/hostel and had a wonderful experience. The location is absolutely stunning, offering a peaceful and beautiful setting. The room was cozy and comfortable, providing the perfect space to relax after a day of exploring. One of the highlights of our stay was the lovely and generous breakfast. There was a great variety of delicious options, which really set the tone for a good day ahead. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. We arrived early, and they kindly offered luggage storage, which was a big help. As a special touch, since it was my wife's birthday, the host took the time to ask if we had any special requests. They even left a thoughtful birthday card on our door in the morning, which really added to the personal and memorable experience. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a beautiful location, cozy accommodations, and warm, attentive hospitality.

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.

    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.
