The property is a hostel so my rating is based on them clearly communicating that. The location is beautiful and almost right on the lake. The staff was extremely helpful and we rented eBikes and rode right from the property. It is a little distance from Interlaken train stations, but the stay included bas passes within Interlaken. The Property Manager did an excellent job for us on both breakfast and during our stay. The property could use some upgrades, but again the fact that it is a hostel was well communicated.

Cute, friendly, but uncomfortable.
Very picturesque and quaint. Reception isn't tended until checkin (16:00) but the place was wide open so we placed our bags in the dining room and hung out accross the street enjoying the oew and a nap. No ventilation at all in the rooms. We opened the windows to get air, but guests next door were loud, and smoking. In additon, no screens on the windows which allowed in some mosquitos. Mattress was very firm. Bathrooms and showers were clean and open. Staff was friendly.

The hotel is in a nice walkable area. The view from the room is beautiful. Overall it is clean. But the floor and wall don’t have good noise isolation so it is quite noisy when people walking on the upper floor.

We booked a room for our family of 4. It’s a hostel so it’s not luxurious but the location is beautiful on the lake. The staff was kind and helpful but there was a large group that was there to party and they made so much noise that it was unbearable to sleep. They kept us up until 3:00 am when they all passed out and there was no management around to stop them. The floors are very creaky so if anyone walks in the hallway or rooms above you, you are sure to be woken up. We ended up leaving 2 nights early because we couldn’t sleep with the other group that was there. We found a nice hotel nearby with a private room for almost the same price.

Everything was kept clean during our stay. We checked in around dinner and were told that no towels were available for us until late afternoon the next day. It would have been nice to be able to take a shower! We used the dining area and there were plenty of the utensils and plates except for spoons! Not a one was there!
