First time stay. I was in a private single room, so cannot comment on the dormitory situation. My room was extremely quiet, and very comfortable. Solid concrete walls so could not hear anyone else. Handy personal safe in the room. Very nice crew on the front desk - ready to answer any travel questions about the area and make recommendations. Breakfast was good - continental as advertised but enough to start your day. Need a couple more toasters though; seemed someone always waiting! Great location - can walk easily to either main train station. Wifi was good enough for YouTube and FaceTime connections. I would recommend this place and plan to stay again on a future visit.

Exceeded expectations. The staff, breakfast, building and location were all perhaps the nicest I have ever seen in a hostel. Staff for sure. Also building. Feels more like an expensive boutique Swiss hotel than a hostel. I think the renovations took 2 years and it shows. I wish someone told me they had FREE train tickets to Verbier (saves 30+ francs/day) and that the train station was just a five minute walk. Also, located on a very cool old street.

Our meals were delicious and the chef took Into account for 2 of our children’s food allergies. The location and views were amazing. Our children (ages 4,9 and 11) all loved the playgrounds and treasure hunt hike up the mountain. This was a very family friendly lodge and we hope to visit again! Everyone who works here is friendly and compassionate.

Great location, heart of the Lauterbrunnen. Parking available. Everything was clean, kitchen had all necessities. We could it either inside kitchen area or outside in terrace with view to mountains. Welcoming owner. Great first time experience staying in a hostel. In our floor there were 4 rooms and 2 wc , 2 bathrooms for the rooms, everything was 1 step away from our room. Terrace in the room was nice. Would stay there again.

Best hostel I’ve ever been, close to the train station, on an amazing location. It’s possible to store the bikes in their cellar. Very good breakfast and warm and cozy environment.

Henryk is a very welcoming host. The dormitory was really clean, and it is a great place to stay 15mins away from the city centre which makes the position of the hostel perfect - at a walkable distance from the centre, and at a quiet neighbourhood.

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.

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.
