Reviewers have called it ?the best hostel ever?, saying that the luxurious atmosphere leaves you feeling like you?re staying in an upmarket hotel.

I had an amazing time here! The free breakfast was great. The rooms came with big lockers so I could actually fit my huge bag! Staff were so so lovely. It was a little pricey but it’s Switzerland, what do you expect! Overall, a great experience!!

Friendly staff and clean restrooms/rooms. Good place to stay if you’re moving around from interlaken to grindelwald and lauterbrunnen. Just under 20 minute walk from the main train station and same time to the other station in town. Kind of sketchy area if you’re traveling solo and walking around at night. Not many food options in the area (not fault of the hostel just a good thing to know if staying here).
