“Nice affordable hostel! great staff!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011

Lea, Karen and Terry! Great staff, give good advice on tourism and are fun to talk to.
I stayed there for 2 nights from 13th - 14th Sep 2009 in a 6 bunk bed dorm for CHF27/night (bf incl).

Facts:
- Very good price considering the prices in interlaken.
- great helpful and friendly staff
- Basic breakfast: cereals, milk, ovaltine, coffee, apples, butter etc. But nice breakfast lounge. There is a kitchen where you can use.
- Rooms are a bit tight due to the bunk beds. But I had the opportunity to see a double ensuite room which is really good for 2 people.
- It is in a good location not far from the main road in interlaken across the river but only 10 mins walk. and closer to the West train station.
- Don't be misled by reading that it is in unterseen, it is still interlaken.

~~~Keep in mind to confirm the check-inn and out time as it may vary with seasons. and note that Interlaken closes early in the night except for eateries and restaurants.
- Nice place to socialize and interact with other tourists.
- Internet can be used in an annex building infront on 2nd floor.

Shared my room with 4 jolly irish youngsters (college students) backpacking across europe. There is an ensuite bathroom in the rooms.

It was my first trip to Switzerland and I fell in love with the whole country just because of this beautiful town and its gentle and sweet people.

I plan to return to Interlaken and would love to stay at this place again, but this time in the double room.

I certainly recommend and do plan to return.

Room Tip: If you are 2 or a couple then choose the double ensuite room.

“Decent place if you know whay youre getting”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011 via mobile

Stayed for one night and found it alright. Not the nicest hostel ever and the room smelled a bit musty. Pillow wasnt the best but room was alright, bathroom was usuable and staff was helpful for information about interlaken. Definitely not a hotel and more of a backpackers place

“Nice hostel in a good position in Interlaken”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2011

We were in a room in the outside block of dorms/flats rather than in the rooms in the hostel.
Our room had 2 bunk beds, with a small gap between them. The room was fairly small but clean. You collect your clean sheets at check in.
In the communal part of the flat was a kitchen with settee and TV. I think there were 3 bedrooms in total which could potentially mean there is 12 people per dorm but we only saw a few people upstairs. The shared bathroom was clean and had a shower over the bath. There were no major problems for waiting for the bathroom but this may have been because the hostel wasn't fully booked.
The breakfast was good - toast, cereal, fruit, fruit juice and great coffee (not instant!!).
The bar was friendly, and had a good choice of drinks. The Interlaken lager was nice!
There is a table football machine and we were asked to play against a local man with a puppy that was let loose around the hostel.
Free wifi was available.
The hostel is close to Interlaken train station which is ideal as we were backpacking.
Overall - clean and friendly, only bad point is that you can't choose who you share a dorm with (he snored very loudly!!!!)
