The hotel was centrally located next to the train station and shopping. The rooms were decent but the beds were 2 twins put together on squeaky old frames and was uncomfortable. The pillows were also lumpy. The staff was nice and it was a plus to have fresh fruit for breakfast.

The hotel is a registered historical building, so the owners are restricted in what they can do. If you want a traditional Swiss hotel, then this is the place for you. The furnishings are in keeping with the traditional style. It is in a convenient place for West station and buses, and for the amenities and shops of Interlaken. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

No AC. We did have a balcony. Had to leave all the windows open. The room was stuffy and the bed uncomfortable. I do like visiting Europe to see the sights. But it feels like I am living in 1950,s America as a kid. No AC, small room, no ice, noise outside, windows open. Wake up Europe its the 21st century.

For the price, terrible hotel. I know everything is costly in Switzerland, but this hotel was way too expensive for what it was. The room smelled like damp mold. No AC. The towels were dirty. The walls and floors looks like they've sustained water damage over the years. There were ants inside the room. No garbage can and the staff didn't pick up the trash either. The best was making so much noise just by changing position... The location is really good, the views are amazing, the staff is really nice and accessible, but the hotel itself is really decrepit. Since everything is pricy, I would recommend you go elsewhere and get some better hotels

Stayed here for three nights when visiting Interlaken and nearby attractions. Hotel is just across the bridge from the Interlaken West station so it was easy to walk with big suitcase. View from the hotel was excellent. The hotel building is old architectural but well maintained. Apparently some remodeling were being done to few sections but there is no inconvenience. Hotel lobby looks nice and staff are great. Room was good size and don’t feel cramped even after keeping two big and two small suitcases. Bathroom is of good size. The shampoo and body wash are provided in small pouches which is minor inconvenience but ok. The breakfast included is nice and have good choices. Couple of fans were provided and used few times as it wasn’t that hot. But it could be a problem if it is really hot weather.
Overall experience is great hotel , great location, close to restaurants and shopping. Loved our stay.

Very good location, just steps from Interlaken West Station.

Prices are lower than most of other hotels in the area.

Large bathtub, water pressure was good, temperature was excellently. Buffet breakfast was OK.

Very limited room amenities, no fridge, no kettle, no bottle water, no coffee/tea, no clock, no power outlet near bedside tables.
Garbage can only in bathroom.
Bathroom no counter space, no shelf space, no cloth hook - the only hook had be used for garbages and hairdryer.
Worn-out wallpaper. Poor wifi connectivity. Only 24 in tv.

Perfect for travellers who only want a hot shower, a warm bed and a filling breakfast.

This hotel is a complete disgrace. It has been abused by a bad remodel after bad remodel, a total disgrace to a once former beautiful hotel. I would not recommend this place at all, please don’t waste your time or money. This was our first stop in Switzerland, and it was a complete let down. The wall paper was peeling off the wall at every seem and it looked like everything there was a bandaid to a previous bandaid problem solve… if only I could add pictures to this.

Don’t expect any amenities, or quite frankly anything at all. The bathroom offers all in one shampoo and body wash in a small cheap sample packet, the towels are raggedy and the trash can is an actually paint bucket or something close to it, no lid.

Surprisingly the mattress isn’t totally uncomfortable but it’s hot as hell if you’re visiting during the summer months. There’s no air conditioning, only small portable fans. This is also a loud location located right next to the train station. I personally could get any sleep.
You can chalk up this review to - we got burned so don’t let it happen to you…

First of all, with the price I paid I don’t think it’s fair to put you on a room (214) where the construction was on going. You cannot see any view because the window was covered and since it’s covered there was no ventilation coming inside the room. I tried to open the window to get some air, but UNFORTUNATELY, my daughter suddenly had allergic reaction with the dust that I need to give her dose of epi pen. I hope the management should not use rooms that are affected with renovation cause it’s a big HEALTH HAZARD to guests. Also breakfast was very basic, again for the amount I paid I don’t think it’s reasonable. Front desk are not approachable as well.

This was a great location just a 2-3 minute walk from a major transit station. I would stay here again and I would recommend this. Considering what food costs in Switzerland, free breakfast was important.
There is a warning on the back of the bathroom door that if you steam up the room and set off the fire alarm, it's a 150CHF fine, and I was worried about it before I showered. I later learned that it is not a problem at all at standard shower temperatures. No need to stress.
I stayed in a one twin bed room. It was small but not cramped and had everything I needed.

The hotel is rather shabby in places, with quite a few trip hazards, but our room was clean and the breakfast provided had many options. It doesn’t feel like a very welcoming hotel - too many notices starting with 'Don't '- and staff not particularly interested.

This hotel is very convenient to Interlaken West station and a number of dining and shopping options, including a COOP right next door. Breakfast was good and the rooms were adequate. But the facility as a whole, acknowledging that it is a historic building, is very run down. Worn carpeting, dents, cracks and chips in walls and trim work, peeling and in some cases moldy wall paper and paint, and outdated furnishings and electrical service. No AC but room fans which help in summer. Did not visit bars but their hours appeared ‘fluid’. They do sit next to the river so when they are open, perhaps the setting is okay. To be fair, there is ongoing construction on the facade and a common bath off dining area so perhaps improvement is coming. In summary, a convenient stay if you’re not fussy and don’t plan on hanging out in the hotel (and why would you, you’re in Interlaken).

The property has a great view and is very convenient. It’s a landmark hotel and is the first hotel in Interlaken. Take this at face value. There’s no a/c, I blew the circuit with a euro-friendly hairdryer, there were wires hanging out of the wall next to our room, and our bathroom ceiling started leaking around 11pm. We told reception and her response was “they must have flooded the bathroom upstairs.” She offered us different rooms but it was too late to switch. We had a nice balcony but it did not make up for the gross breakfast. It was really not good. A very stale hotel. Ants and flies were not helpful either.

Great location. Super close to Interlaken West.

Central Continental hotel is in a great location. Maybe a 2-min walk to the Interlaken West Train station. Our room was super spacious. We had 2 balconies, and both got great sunlight during the day. It was great having coffee out there on a crisp morning.
The beds were comfortable. The pillows were too soft for me but my daughter loved it and she slept well on one of the twin beds.
The breakfast was good. Mostly pastries, some cereal options and they had hard-boiled eggs and hotdogs. Plenty of options for even a picky kid.
We had a great stay at Central Continental hotel. We highly recommend it if you want to walk everywhere or want to be close to a train station.

We had a lovely balcony & view from our room, looking out onto the gorgeous lake. Our room was spacious however, lacked a cosy feel, very outdated. We had breakfast included, but didn’t use it. We sat downstairs for it one day, was no greeted by any member of staff, lots of tables still had plates/cups that had been used on.
Not a wide variety of food and what was there, didn’t look very appealing. We had some juice & got a pastry from local shop down the road.

The view and balcony was mostly the only reason I booked the room! Very close to the train station which is also ideal! Just lacks the personal touches, and cosy feel to the room.

Value for money with friendly and helpful staff in a great location close to amenities bus and train station. Lovely building and no extra cost for balcony as renovations are ongoing inside during short window of opportunity between seasons meaning had scaffolding outside.

No working extractor in bathrooms and warnings about costly penalties should smoke/fire alarm be triggered seemed a bit extreme in circumstances.
Breakfast buffet area was very well stocked but very short on space with both staff and guests accessing stations from the same point/side. Cramped seating, I really don't want to hear other guests chewing their food in the seat beside me.

This hotel is one of the old hotels of Switzerland. It is well located, looks impressive from the outside and the receptionist was friendly.

Because of its location it has become an overnight stop for people from all over the world who are going to the 'honey pots' in the area. Clearly from the notices in my room there have been problems. Equally the hotel has descended in its offering to a rather 'don't care attitude'. Cleaners seemed to be rushed off their feet.

I was nearly scalded by the hot water
Lighting was poor, connections need checking.
Bathroom mirror too high.
Furnishings worn.
Poor value for the price.
