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.

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!

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

Full kitchen with many cooking stations and conventional ovens too. You can absolutely buy groceries and cook from scratch. Free breakfast (bread, cereal, yogurt, fancy coffee machine, hot chocolate, tea). Free dryers (coin laundry). Rooms are spacious if you book a private one. Next to bus station although train station is also walkable. Can borrow a hair dryer. Room amenities are limited but not a concern for us. Separate shower and toilet and sink in the room. Plenty of large lockers that will fit large suitcases, and lockers in the room if you're sharing the room with someone else. Recreational activities include ping pong, foosball etc. All free to use. Excellent location. Nice gardens and terrace spaces too.

This’s good option for middle price in peak season. We chose it because too late to find other hotel close to Interlaken Ost station. There’s a public sharing kitchen , that’s little convenient, however also uncomfortable because not really clean when people share using. That’s good they have a laundry room. Free breakfast doesn’t have many options, but enough for people to get some energy in the morning. The bus station is right on the front of right side so very convenience. They give you pass to use free buses & some train directions close of the town in stayed days. The minus point is no AC & fan in our stays that really terrible when it’s so hot & humid! My kids couldn’t sleep well, better little at nights when we opened the windows, however still uncomfortable because no air flow in room, the bugs could get in when opening the windows. The hostel is basic same motel in US. Overall I rate 7/10.

One of the best hostels ever

We were looking for accommodation two days before arriving so we had low expectations, however this hostel is amazing and a lot better than most Hotels we have stayed in. Great facilities (playing areas, kitchen, lounges) and super clean

It’s a comfortable hostel having free breakfast, free laundry facilities, towels (but no air conditioning). However, I felt a little noisy as I can hear other guests slamming the doors in the early morning

Book a private room if you can

The place was great. My roommates not so much. I've been staying in hostels for over 30 years.
So I am used to the small annoyances. But this time 2 young ladies decided to rummage through there bags from 12 am to 1:30. They had everything wrapped in those loud plastic bags.

3 young men kept coming in and out of the room around 4 am, letting the door slam each time.

Large suitcases left open in the middle of the floor to be tripped on in the middle of the night.

I tried to explain to them what they were doing and was given the deer in the headlights look. I know they spoke English because I had a conversation with each of them as they arrived.

I would definitely stay here again just in a private room.

Fantastic ! The best hostel I've ever stayed ♪

Stayed in 6-Bed Mix Dorm for 2 nights.

★Location★
This hostel is located right in the middle between Interlaken Ost (East) & Interlaken West station, Not so close, roughly 10-15 mins walking distance respectively. Supermarkets like Coop, Denner are 5-10 mins away from the hostel, Restaurants and Cafes can be found just around the corner.

★Facilities★
Love the comfy bed and pillow.
Well equipped e.g. individual locker & a towel are provided.
Power outlet with lamp and shelf available on each bed.
Hair dryer near basin. Very clean bathroom and toilet.
You can also buy your own food and store in the fridge, cook and eat at the dining area near kitchen.
2 tokens is given for 1 night which allows you to either do your laundry (detergent included) or enjoy the beverages in common area.

★Hospitality★
Super helpful and friendly Staffs.
Would like to thank especially Christine for her in-depth itinerary advices.

Great hostel in great location in Interlaken

Good centrally located hostel in Interlaken. You can easily walk to both train stations and anywhere in Interlaken without breaking a sweat. I had never stayed in a hostel before (and I'm 29) so I was a little nervous about it, but our private room was just fine. Clean sheets and very decent bathroom.

The staff is very very helpful - probably the main plus. You get coins for hot drinks and washing machine (although it was always taken when we tried to use it). The breakfast is a tad limited with cereal and bread with spreads but it was fine.

Overall it was a great value for the money and we enjoyed our time there.

great for a hostel

The hostel was perfect for a group of 4. They have a room that fits us all and have our own private toilet. The hotel also provides self catering kitchen where we can cook our own food. Although, when we were there, there are too many guests using the kitchen at the same time. We did not have the chance to cook and it is really messy. I hope they can have bigger kitchen to cater their growing guests.

They also provide laundry which is helpful. But again, too many guests but few washing machines.

They also got pool table, foosball table that can be used.

Clean, bare bones place to sleep with a great front desk staff

This is a very basic place - clean, well-managed and very friendly staff. They offer most of the amenities a backpacker, family or group would need - washing machines, communal kitchen area, TV room, game room, free breakfast, computers, etc. That said, it is a bit institutional in its design. I felt like I was in rehab or a cushy white collar prison. I booked a hostel versus a hotel because I was traveling with my college-age son and wanted him to have the chance to meet people his own age, but this place didn’t have the party vibe I expected from Interlaken’s reputation - more families and large school groups. The front desk staff were extremely nice and gave some great advice about things to see (check out Trummelbach Falls) and do in the rain.

Bad - Too many Korean especially the woman fight over the washing machine, rude and loud shouting and smoking in the middle of the night, not worth the $ if you are going just to have separate attached bathroom in your room, not worth if you only have twin room, worth if you are sharing in over 4 dorm room without attached bathroom.

Good - very friendly reception and front desk .

Ok - breakfast , but down the street near the interlaken Ost station, youth hostels has hot breakfast. Here nope! But not bad

Won't be back unless traveling alone.

設施及環境皆完善的背包客棧

此背包客棧規劃了多種公用的區域,包括很大的大廳,早餐區,工作及休閒區,小庭院等,很喜歡這些區域的規劃,讓我們待在這些區域可以享受休閒和渡假的氛圍。
最喜歡的是他們有大大的廚房,讓我們得以在住宿的期間可以自己下廚,吃到自己煮便宜又豐盛的晚餐,加上有免費的美味早餐,內心充滿感恩。
房間方面覺得若增加可掛衣服的衣櫃、小毛巾及廁所多點置物的地方會更好。

최고의 시설과 환경 친화적인 숙소

인터라켄OST역이랑 조금 떨어져 있어서 캐리어를 가지고 걸어가기에는 조금 멀지만 60번, 102번 버스를 이용하면 문제없을 듯하고, 이 내용은 미리 공지해 주면 이용하기 더 쉬울 것 같습니다. 숙박하는 내내 너무 깨끗하고 쾌적한 환경에서 잘 지내다 왔고, 지하에 있는 주방시설도 너무 잘되어 있어서 직접 식사를 준비해서 먹기에도 최적의 장소였습니다. 화장실이 따로 분리되어 있는 방에서 묵었기 때문에 더 편리하게 이용했고, 다음에도 인터라켄을 가게된다면 꼭 이곳에 묵을 것 같습니다.

입소문대로 전체적으로 깨끗하고 편의시설(세탁기. 건조기. 취사도구등)이 잘 갖추어진 가성비 좋은 숙소였어요.
이용하실 분들을 위해 몇가지 참고 사항을 적겠습니다. 13세 아동 동반해서 인터라켄 동역에서 숙소까지 트렁크 끌고 20분 정도 걸었는데, 걷기엔 좀 애매한 거리였어요. 쿼드룸 사용했는데, 저희 방은 사진과는 달리 화장실과 샤워실이 분리되어있지 않았어요. 에어컨이나 선풍기가 없어서 여름에 가시는 분들은 더우실듯. 6월23일부터 많이 더웠어요 만숙소 리셉션에서 컵라면과 음료. 샌드위치류 구입 가능한데 햇반은 없어요. 사실 숙소 근처 많은 가게에서도 컵라면과 컵밥은 많이 팔지만 정작 제가 필요한 햇반은 어디에서도 찾을수가 없었어요.
부엌에는 냉장고가 3대 있어서 냉장보관 가능한데, 공동취사장이라서 저녁시간대는 깨끗할 수가 없더군요. 특히 수세미가 모두 엄청 낡았어요. 새것 챙겨가시길..
지하1층에 세탁기4대. 건조기 4대가 있었는데 저녁과 이른 아침에는 이용객이 많아서 번번히 헛걸음 했네요.
조식은 딱 쥬스와 식빵. 잼류. 시리얼뿐.
체크아웃할때 베개커버랑 이불커버 벗기고 오라고해서 좀 황당했어요. 백팩커스 규칙인가요?

남편과 초등 아이 둘과 숙박하였습니다. 주방을 사용할수있어서 한식을 꼭 먹어야하는 둘째에게 매우 좋은 숙소였습니다. 모든것이 청결하였고 방의 침대도 편안했습니다.. 공용주방은 첫째날은 괜찮았으나 둘째날 저녁에 주방을 사용했을땐 한국젊은이들이 술에취했는지 분위기에 취했는지 설거지를 제대로 해놓지않아서 눈살이 찌푸려졌습니다. 다음날 아침에도 그대로인 설거지그릇들을 보니 아침에 주방청소하는 현지직원들에게 같은 한국인으로서 너무 민망하고 부끄러웠습니다. 혹시 이 후기를 보시는 분들은 제발 자신이 사용한 냄비와 그릇들 사용후 바로바로 정리해주세요.. 숙소는 모든면이 너무너무 만족스러웠습니다.

깨끗하고 좋은 숙소.

깨끗하고 밝고 직원들도 친절해서 좋았습니다.
아침식사도 간단하지만 다른 호텔들 생각하면 가격대비 괜찮다고 생각해요.
방에서 보는 뷰도 좋았고 무엇보다 좋았던 건 체크인할 때 코인을 두개씩 나눠주는데 그걸로 컴퓨터를 사용할 수 있고 프린트도 마음대로 할 수 있다는 거였어요. 엄청 유용하게 잘 썼어요.
한가지 아쉬운 건 인터라켄 동역에서 조금 멉니다.
그래도 나올 때는 호스텔에서 주는 바우처로 버스를 무료이용 할 수 있어요. 그리고 한국사람 엄청 많아요. ㅎㅎ
