Good location, we walked to Interlaken. Nice view of the forest from the room. We knew that it is a shared bathroom room, so we were ok with that. The room itself is very good, comfortable beds. The showers and toilets are cleaned regularly and there is always a toilet available even though the hotel was booked full. Good breakfast, large selection of food and drinks. Free parking in front of the hotel. There is also a shared kitchen which we used to prepare some simple meals.

All hostels in Interlaken

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

It's a perfect place if you just want to spend a night to sleep at the budgeted cost. You'll get a room with bunk bed to sleep, the other services like kitchen, rest-room, shower etc. are shared. The location is also great as it's near to the Interlaken OST station. You'll get the nice view of Aare river tributary just outside the stay.

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.
