  • Great atmosphere! Everyone was looking to have a good time. Nice rooms, bathrooms were average for a budget hostel. The bar downstairs was a great time.

  • Overall this is a good hostel.. It was clean, staff was helpful. Location is ok, it is not right away from the rail station but the walk is 10 to 15 minutes to either station. You won't feel fulfilled with breakfast, but is a good start. Facilities seemed sufficient, although occupation was low. It was noisy, you can clearly hear the conversation from people outside the room but I was tired enough to not get bother by this.

  • A great place to meet people, but it Interlaken in general is a tourist haven, and you can tell the staff has an annoyance to most of the people there. If you can look past the arrogance/annoyance of the staff, it is a great place to meet people!

  • This is the only place you should stay while you are in Interlaken. Yes, I understand that it might be more expensive but you will have an awesome time if you stay here.

  • Nice place with alot of extras. Has a bar, a club, a restaurant, lots of space to hang out and meet other backpackers. Rooms were a bit stuffy, crammed with too many beds.

  • Basically just a frat house. The only club in interlaken is located directly underneath this place. The beds were pretty closed in and dirty, the place wasn't the cleanest, as the facilities weren't that great either. However, this place is essentially here if you want to meet other adventurous people and drink a lot.

  • We had a great time here. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the beer garden is a great place to hang out. The only problem I had was not being allowed in the room between 10:30 and 15:00 every day. Inconvenient but you can ask for the master key at reception if you really need in. Would definitely recommend to others!
