8/10 Very good

Very nice and clean property right on the lake. Only a 10-15 minute walk from the train station which is convenient. When I was there there were a lot of families with young children and not a lot of young adults so it was not a very social hostel as a solo traveller, I do not know if it is always like this.

It was convenient and available for us as we were a group of 10. We were just not used to the setting and we had no idea we had to bring our towels!!!

2/10 Poor

Most terrible is the lady receptionist “Sara”. She has no etiquettes of customer service. She doesn’t know how to nicely deal with guests. She actually shouts rather than to speak gently with grace, she isn’t fit for this kind of job. Hostel is not at a good location, no public transport from hostel. Small rooms etc. I’ll not recommend it.

The place is great! 15 min walking from train station or ferry station. The view of the lake and sunset afternoon it’s amazing, one of the best I have seen. Staff very friendly. Dinner was good, they charge you extra, but it’s worth. I didn’t have a breakfast because I had to leave to catch the train at 7:15 am, so I don’t know how is it. The breakfast fast should be serve from 6:30am like others Youth hotels location, people are traveling around and need to leave very early. They charge $3 for rental towel. I recommend to get there by ferry from Interlaken, the lake is beautiful! It’s a perfect for traveling around and rest for one or 2 nights, price is great.

Un grande confort per essere un ostello

Tenendo ben in mente che si tratta di un ostello, sono pienamente soddisfatta; nelle stanze c'era anche un piccolo ripostiglio. E' una struttura immersa nella natura dalla quale si possono ammirare degli splendidi tramonti sulle montagne e sul lago. Essendo una località tanto bella quanto, purtroppo, cara, lo consiglio a chiunque ci voglia passare qualche giorno senza svenarsi.
