    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.

    1-location far from train station need to walk 20 minutes in a dangerous traffic , better take taxi if you have baggage and kids with you 2-no AC only fan 3-no breakfast service 4-reception open 12 noon and close 10:00 pm( not 24 hrs ) 5-restaurant open 2:00 pm and close 9:00 pm 6- very expensive 7- door of your room transparent so no privacy 8- it’s located in place of camping ( so take care if you walk at night with your family) 9- no terrace, some area still under construction 10- it’s better if they have free shuttle every hour from village to train station in both ways

    1- it’s name in interlaken India village , not river village 2-staff very kind and friendly 3- quiet and clean

    In booking.com it was mentioned that breakfast was optional for an additional cost. But in arrival I was informed that breakfast was not available. This caused a bit of inconvenience as I did not plan for breakfast. However, there was a Coop supermarket near Interlaken OST train station (15-20mins walk), where you can get breakfast.

    The lodge was very clean and good to stay. It is on the banks of Aaare River. I walked about 20 mins from Interlaken OST to reach the lodge. You pass by Harder Kulm Funicular (Harderbahn) when going to the River Village.
