She's not posh but you'll have a wonderful Swiss guesthouse experience in a quaint village. Breakfast was spectacular with many choices and delicious coffees. Easy train and bus connections to all the local towns and villages. Looking forward to a return visit.

Yes, the room was spotless, the front view from the room of the running brook and the sound of serenity were unmatched.
The church-view on the other side and periodical chiming of church bells made the stay surreal.
Beautiful boutique hotel, well maintained and run by a family with superb connectivity and just few minutes away to Interlaken city-centre, with an awesome array of breakfast.
Just a wonderful experience of a lifetime, backdrop of the Swiss Alps with picture post-card look.
100% recommended for a memorable stay.

Basic clean accommodations with continental type of breakfast. Limited English but very willing to help you with any questions. Historic property with older fixtures and furnishings. If you are looking for a 5 star experience, don’t stay here but if you are looking for affordable lodging close to train, bus and driving options, this is perfect.

Very cute area with a beautiful view with surrounding mountains. Easy to get around but transportation tends to close early and taxis are costly. Enjoyed our stay but they serve the same exact breakfast every day. After the 3rd day, it starts to get old. Worth the price.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, hot water for showers. Only 10 minute bus/train into Interlaken, bus stop is very close walking distance to property. Hotel is right by the river and you can listen to the river at night- lovely! Breakfast was great. I would highly recommend staying here if you are planning a trip to Interlaken.

The room was adequate in terms of amenities in the room, comfort of the bed, and shower facilities. The location next to the train station was excellent. The breakfast in the morning was adequate as well. It is an excellent value for the price of the room.

Cozy place but hot
The hotell is very cozy and situated next to a river. It has thus a fantastic view. Even though it’s two stations away from interlaken ost, it was very accessible by train. The hotel even gave us tickets to travel freely within the interlaken area during our stay.
However, it is a very simple accommodation without AC/fan which made it extremely hot inside the room (in July). The breakfast is simple but sufficient and we had like seven spiders as roommates.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return. The hospitality was fantastic! Breakfast buffet was beautifully served. Soothing river sounds and views. Very convenient for the train. Loved the added bus pass for even more flexibility in Interlaken.
