Dear I am very sorry we did not manage to understand each other. We made a suggestion of the half fare card to make your travels in Switzerland easier and cheaper over all. But we certainly don't wish to force anything on you or any of our guests, whatsoever. We tried to show you different options of what to do and what maybe better not to do, because we considered it dangerous. We apologize as obviously the messages came across quite differently.

Good hostel. Everything about it was perfect. I literally have not a single bad word to say about it. I also made some good friends there.

Throughout my travels across Switzerland, this hostel provided the most services for the lowest price. They are helpful at the desk and it is clear that they have been in the hostel business a long time!

Definitely a great place to stay! Everything was clean, the free breakfast was great, and the location was ideal. The staff was also very helpful with suggesting things to do and helping you book them. The room I was in (6 person) was a little small, but there were lots of other places to go in the hostel to hang out.

Probably the nicest hostels I've stayed at so far. Staff were very friendly and helpful with lots of advice and tips about what to do in Interlaken. This is the place you should stay in Interlaken, no questions asked.

In most aspects this is a great place to stay, though be aware that if you are looking for a vibrant experience you may have to bring some zest with you. Table tennis table and a very decent kitchen go a long way.

Wonderful, clean and friendly hostel! The staff were extremely helpful and helped me with planning activities and places to go while in Interlaken since I was there in the off season. My only complaints are the beds were extremely close to each other and the room I stayed in (6 person en-suite) was fairly small and hard to walk through the room without bumping into my roommates. Overall though, it was a really nice hostel.

Very nice hostel! Good staff, clean rooms, free WIFI and a very good kitchen!!! You can treat youself someting nice and value by buy things in the supermarket and cook them in this kitchen. However the facilities in the room is simple and basic, no TV, shared toilet and bath room, even no kettle (only one in the kitchen underground). This is just like other youth hostels, although the room price is twice just like everything else in Swiss (compared with U.K. and Spain).
