Our bedroom was clean with a good shower room and the hotel has a useful guest area to prepare and eat a simple meal. The main restaurant decor is an unusual mix - faded French Baroque room meets Chinese buffet- style and where breakfast is ok. Staff helpful and friendly and dealt very well with a noisy late night party in one of the bedrooms. Convenient central and quiet location.

The hotel has a great location. 9 mins walk to Interlaken West and 20 mins walk to Interlaken Ost. About one minute to Coop grocery store and souvenir stores. The room was excellent. Pretty spacious and really nice. Small bathroom but the room makes up for it. Breakfast was fresh and good. Free luggage storage. Shared pantry with fridge and microwave.

The room was clean and spacious. The hotel itself within walking distance of Interlaken West and Ost, where there is a huge choice of restaurants and shops.
A couple of things we thought strange, first we arrived at 2.50 and were told that check in was not until 3, so to sit down and wait!
The receptionist was friendly after that.
The second thing was that house keeping didn’t come to service the room until 3.45pm, when we were already back from our days activities and resting. But these were minor things and overall we enjoyed our stay.

It’s what you’d expect from a small budget hotel. It could benefit from some renovation/restoration but overall our stay was good.
Pros:
- very friendly and helpful staff
- nice shared dining area with a fridge, microwave, cutlery, tea, and coffee for guests
- good price for the area
- great location, near the center of Interlaken; food, entertainment, shopping, and anything else you’d reasonably want to do in the area is a short walk away
- the hotel and surrounding areas felt very safe
- you get an Interlaken guest card which gets you benefits in the area (eg, free public transit)
Cons:
- washroom was in need of renovation or at least a deep clean, with visible black mold
- there was a stain on the washroom door frame that resembled dried blood and should have been cleaned
- walls are quite thin and sounds from vehicles outside may bother lighter sleepers
- wifi was spotty and slow

great location, clean and comfortable
The location was great - 2 minutes to the bus and in between both train stations. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff doesn't arrive until 3pm so when we arrived early we were not able to store our luggage - however, the attached Chinese restaurant kindly let us keep our luggage in the corner at our own risk.

While the room and building was full of character and history, it was also well-equipped with plenty of space and storage for travellers. The common room for guests had snacks, tea, and coffee, as well as a large fridge. The location is great, a few minutes walk to Interlaken West station and very close to a convenience store. There's a bakery just next to the building and the Interlaken Flagship shop is just down the road.

It wasn’t the best hotel room that I have stayed at the staff were really friendly and helpful, the breakfast was a good spread with different things to eat. The room however, was not what I was expecting, the bathroom was small and had a weird smell the bed was comfortable but the blanket and pillows were a weird texture. Overall it was ok and the staff were excellent

Great location near promenade, river, and main Interlaken streets. Staff was friendly, informative, and let us store our luggage when we arrived early before check in and when we left later after check out. Breakfast was so so for the price, I preferred the coffee shop a minute away. We had the balcony room at the front and had a great view of the mountains in both directions (if the weather is clear). Only downside was a portable AC unit, opening windows was more effective but made it loud, and the room was small all around.

Cheap hotel very well located in the city center.
Rooms are small (can be noisy depending on the neighbors) and quite old but clean. There is a common living room where is a fridge and a microwave oven, which allows heating meals.
Breakfast is included but as we stayed there, the only hot beverage was tea as the coffee/hot milk/ machine was out of order.
No parking at the hotel, there are several ones around but are expensive.

First of all, the room I stayed couldn't be locked from inside, it was incredible. Of course I told about that to the staff but he just said, "okay, we will fix tommorow, good to know that." -What? He didn't change my room even though it was not safe at all!! Also, when I asked them to keep my laggage during my hiking, they put that in the launge without any tags, no one kept an eye on the laggage though. So i picked up my bag earlier than scheduled and put them to the station locker. They should refund me because they didn't provide what thet should.
One good point was the location is very close to the paragliding center and super market.
In the future, even if someone gave me money and asked to stay this hotel, I definitely would not do that.

The bathroom was a bit moldy and small but the room seemed clean. It was a comfortable sleep. Breakfast was okay but it seemed a bit short staffed. Items like fruit and hot food ran out quickly and were not replenished immediately.
