Great stay - location amazing - make sure to book a lake view room with a balcony. Didn’t really affect us but travellers need to be aware walls and floors fairly thin and the area is quite busy / noisy so not ideal if looking for an early night

Staff was incredibly helpful and kind. We were on the top floor so the stairs were a bit rough with our bags but thats how it will be sometimes, but something to note. All the amenties were great. The room got a bit hot but it was also a hot week.
Shower room floor flooded a few times but I believe that was because of the other guests, it was cleaned every day.

Since it is located a little past Interlaken, it was very convenient that they gave out a bus pass for the duration of our stay. Would recommend!

Our stay at the Lake Lodge Hostel was great! Staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations. They provided a bus pass to get into Interlaken and back for the duration of our stay which was an added bonus. Although there’s no air conditioning, it cooled down at night and we had no problems sleeping. Definitely recommend staying in this hostel!
