It's a good hostel, but not great. It is cheap relative to other places in Interlaken, and you can get a private room without paying an arm and a leg. The facilities are fine too. But it is very English. The atmosphere is catered to people who want to be tourists during the day but then come home to their own culture at night. If you want good value and speak english, it's a nice place, but if you're looking for a real Swiss experience, you should definitely stay elsewhere.

The hostel is very close to the train station and a perfect place to start since it's within a walking distance to the main points of the city. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. The place was very clean and the have lockers for you to leave your luggage. I recomend it!

Staff was good and helpful! Location was super good. Room was clean and tidy. Definitely recommeded! Oh, if you travel by train, the terminal station might be Interlaken OST, make sure to ask whether the train pass by Interlaken West. In many cases, it does. So you do not need to stop at Interlaken Ost; you can stop a bit early at Interlaken West.

The staff were very enthusiastic and friendly, so it made my stay there really enjoyable. The hostel is pretty easy to find as well, as it's just a 5 min walk from Interlaken West Station and bus station, and just off the main shopping district. The room was huge! Really big for the price I paid. Overall, a really enjoyable trip down to Interlaken staying at the Happy Inn Lodge. :)

The Hostel was located in the centre of Interlaken and less than 5 minutes walk from Interlaken West station.It was a good 20-25 minute walk to Ost.The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area,there was a great bar with some real ales along with a regular selection of wines and beers.The Hostel was very vibrant on the night that there was a live band playing in the bar down stairs but did not go on too late.The hostel was clean but quilts a bit small in length overall Very good.

There is a bar downstairs and sometimes noisy. The room and other facilities are simple but ok. No seperate pinboard. You have to share only 2 pinboards with all the other visitors. This is very unconvenient for travellers. 没有独立的插销,充电很麻烦。

Definitely my worst night at a Swiss hostel. There were music playing downstairs with loud drumbeat till midnight which made it impossible to sleep. There was no hot water in my room and the bed doesn't feel clean.

We decided to stay in a dormitory. So, were obviously not expecting a 5-Star accommodation. This was a real value for money and the location was the biggest plus, just a couple of minutes from Interlaken West.

Positive: staff helpfull, rooms and bathrooms cleans, good location, good price! Negative: a lot off noise, the beds made lots of noise, the floor as well, and also the bar, you can hear every sound that comes from the bar... Difficult to have a good night sleep!

Stayed here not long ago and my girlfriend and I had an incredibly bad experience, as well as the other man sharing our room. The hostel does not ask for passports on check in and when we all left our hostel room someone checked into the room and stole all our ipad's, camera's etc, including breaking into the locker. The staff apart from one female co worker were very rude, and one even accused us of stealing an iPad and lying about our missing iPad and camera. DON'T GO TO THIS HOSTEL
