Amazing location, clean room and helpful staff !! They even offered to keep our luggage for us for the day! The breakfast was also really good, and the location perfect, you don’t even hear the trains

Wonderful stay with everything we needed. Had a 3rd floor room directly over the train track but barely heard the train as it was very sound proofed. Excellent and convenient location. Delicious breakfast and a Migros across the street to shop for supplies before our hikes. Would happily stay here again!

We had a nice and convenient stay. The hotel is located closed to the city and opposite to Migros mall and underground parking. Hotel staffs are very polite and helpful. Breakfast offers variety of food & drinks. Hotel’s kitchen looks very very clean. 👍👌 Regards, Lytton

The hotel was super convenient, and the breakfast food was plentiful and delicious, especially the watermelon, which was incredibly refreshing and sweet. I never expected to eat such delicious watermelon in winter.

Modern large room. Great location next to train station. Note there is no fridge in the room which wasn’t a problem as we stayed in December and left our milk on the balcony and it stayed cold! Great friendly staff. Great breakfast included. Nice bar area. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic location right next to Interlaken West train station. Excellent breakfast with great-tasting food and immaculate upkeep. Modern, clean rooms, small but cleverly designed and fully soundproofed. Loved being able to open the door for fresh air with a safety barrier. Friendly staff throughout. A few NYE decorations would’ve been a nice touch, but overall I’d definitely recommend this hotel.
