This "hostel" totally exceeded my expectations. I was initially unhappy at paying so much for a hostel, but was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. This so called hostel was actually better than most 4 star hotels in my opinion. The private room was extremely clean and it opened up to a balcony with chairs and a magnificent view of the... More

The hostel was very close the train station. The staff were very friendly and willing to give a lot of travel suggestions. All the rooms were in a beautiful cottage and has a balcony. The view was splendid! The 6-bed room I stayed in was clean but a little bit too small for this many people. One problem was there... More

the hostel is located minutes from the train station; we had a private room with a balcony and great view. The staff was friendly and heplful. Just a couple FYIs the towels were free but tiny; more likr hand towels and most local businesses including the grocery store close by 6:30pm so get your supplies early

Yes it's a hostel but doesn't feel like it. The city is small so anywhere you stay is a great location but the rates were great considering how expensive Switzerland is. It was immaculate clean, easy to find and we had a wonderful waterfall view from the room. Our room also had a little porch. It's a simple place u... More

No it is not a 5star hotel but it feels like home away from home. It is clean and the room in which we were staying had a beautiful view of the falls. The staff are very friendly and helpful. And it is very close to the station!!! free wi fi. It was the third time I stayed in this... More

If we're reviewing Valley Hostel with a B&B or hotel standard, there would be a lot to blame. However, when considering it as a youth hostel, it offers a pretty high value for money in Switzerland. 9 years ago I stayed here with a male fellow backpacker so that I had an idea how simple every there is. This Apr... More

Rooms were nothing special and beds were small but the locations was nice and close to the center and Lauterbrunnen. A bit annoying not being allowed to wear shoes inside and a bit of a pain to have to make your own bed with the provided bead sheets. Also there was only one bed sheet

We stayed in a private room for our time in Lauterbrunnen, which was very affordable and very large room size, with super cute decor (the bed sheets with the cows and Swiss cross!). Great location, walkable to everywhere, right near the Station and the Falls. Friendly staff, clean kitchen and bathrooms, great cooking facilities, BREATHTAKING views. Would definitely go back.

Its my 1st time staying in a hostel but I don't feel like I am staying in one except for having to share toilets. Accommodations in Switzerland are very costly and this is an affordable option for staying in the beautiful Lauterbrunnen. It is situated a 10min walk from the train station and is relatively easy to find in the... More

This is a great deal for low budget travellers who are exploring the Lauterbrunnen valley and associated resorts. The Valley hostel costs c. £20 per night and is just 200 metres from the station. Reception is friendly and efficient, rooms are basic but you get your own key for the shared room and the showers/toilets are all that a traveller... More
