Breakfast was good. Only down point was that towels were not provided for a shower.

The reception guy was very friendly and funny. The hostel is near to the center of the city, and it is in an island. Very nice and beautiful place.

Only 3 minutes from the west station. Close to a groceries store and have a full kitchen. The bathroom is clean but a bit smelly.

Very nice hostel with friendly staff. The location is great, close to the center and also good for walks around. The restaurant in the building is great. I've had an amazing dinner and tasted some beers :) The breakfest was nice with a bit of everything :)

nice hostel, but the wifi didn't work in my room.

This hostel is being renovated so it was a bit of a mess - we could only get wifi if we sat in the hallway next to reception, and our room was very basic without a lot of bedding. However the owner was an absolutely lovely man and we really enjoyed staying with him! He worked hard to make everyone happy and the breakfasts were great value. Security was a bit of an issue, as we discovered the wooden lockers in our room had no back so could easily be broken into, and there was no luggage storage.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel! I have been currently traveling through Europe and I have stayed in many hostels. The Lazy Falken was by far the best one I have stayed in. The staff was friendly and helpful, the train station was just down the street, and there's a kitchen with appliances to cook! Also they have a great breakfast and private bathrooms. I think this hostel is a great option for young travelers who need a cheap place to stay in Switzerland.

lovely stay. helpful staff.

The hostel is nice - the location is excellent - very near to Interlaken West train station, city center and city's climbing gym - K44 Kletterhalle :)) There are not so many people in the rooms - I was in a room with 4 beds and each room is with separate toilet and bathroom - that is nice when you are not so many people in. The only drawback I can mention is that the wireless is not accessible from all the rooms - I was in the top floor and I had to go down one floor for an access.

Here in Switzerland, it's really important to have kitchen where you want to stay... And there's good and clean kitchen outside of building:)) You can use it! Awesome!

We had a great experience at this hostel, the staff were so friendly and happy to help with anything we needed. We stayed in the nearby flat which was very 'homey' and comfortable, with great cooking facilities! The only suggestion would be to provide internet in the flat as well as reception area. Overall it was a great stay, Thank you!

Check-in in difficult because there's nobody around from 1:30-4:30p.m. Also, there are no night staff. The pillow and mattress were flat and the rooms were cold. Moreover, the bathroom stunk so bad it was choking! I kept finding hair everywhere as well, which is disgusting. Overall, I guess the place has a run-down feeling. Breakfast was good, and the staff was nice and helpful. However, I wouldn't stay there again if you paid me. Location wise, it's closer to the station than Balmer's.

The good location is the only one advantage, 5-10 mins walk from Interlaken West Station. The staff's attitude is not good, especially the male staff, very arrogant. The room we stayed was not clean and there were still some garbage on the bed, before we were checking in.
