10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location. Two buses stop right at the hotel and make it super convenient to go to Interlaken Ost or West train station. Free of charge Locker access to store the luggage on the day if arrival before check in is very useful. Breakfast choices are very limited but free unlimited coffee and hot chocolate and juice help to get the day started without spending much money. I definitely recommend staying here if you are on budget and looking for a value.

Expensive booking through Expedia , book it directly from the hostel website. You will be able to get the same room for roughly one third. Staff was nice and courteous. Location was awesome and again since it’s a hostel you can’t expect everything.

The room is not clean

The room floor was sticky & dirty. The location is little bit far from train station. They have a kitchen and breakfast is ok.

8/10 Very good

Hostel was in a great location in the city centre (however that meant slightly further away from the train station ~15 min walk which was a slight struggle with a heavy luggage). Service staff were helpful and friendly. Room had amazing view of the mountains. Decent breakfast spread. The room had a slightly musty smell. Lack of PowerPoints in room for charging

In our room we can hear people scraping their chairs in the middle of the night. We would suggest putting covers on the chair legs to prevent the noise.

Shower improvements needed!

1) The shower has a curtain and not a screen which is very uncomfortable water comes out from all sides. also there is not a good support for the shower head. 2) Breakfast: the variety of products could be improved.

Everything is great at this stay except one incident that happened during our stay. At around 11:30 pm one night, a male customer had key access to our private room (females only). The receptionist gave him the wrong key to my room. We were not very happy about that. Luckily, nothing bad happened. I take safety seriously while traveling aboard and what happened was disappointed!
