Beautiful lakeside location with charming adjacent restaurant. Staff are great and amenities are comparable to good hostels. Balcony off private 4-bed dorm was lovely. Great place to stay with family or traveling solo!

Since it is located a little past Interlaken, it was very convenient that they gave out a bus pass for the duration of our stay. Would recommend!

it is convenient with public transportation. It was noisy because you can hear every sound due to the way it was built, and some customers were not considerate. I did not get good sleep 2 nights out of the 3 when we were there.

Just keep in mind that if you’re planning on getting to Interlaken you probably will need a car. It’s a ten minute drive. But the place is beautiful right on the lake. The staff was super helpful and friendly.

The location blown my mind away. Absolutely gorgeous view, and the staff was great. My concern is sharing bathrooms with other guests. I guess I didn’t pay attention to that aspect because I would have not booked a stay in a place where you have to share showers and toilets with people you don’t know. Specially when traveling with children that they don’t know better and take less precautions than us adults when it comes to showering and using the restroom. I will also suggest to add fans in the rooms because it was very hot inside the room the entire night. Although, the room had a window, it was not screened for us to opened and let fresh air come inside. That was a bit disappointing during our stay.

The perfect location for those who love nature and the outdoors. We had a car so it was really easy to drive to hiking spots but they provide bus passes for those who need it for the duration of your stay! The ladies at the front desk were so incredibly nice and accommodating. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back.

I chose this hostel for a lake view but the property was too basic. Shared bathroom wasn’t a problem but I wouldn’t be going there again. It’s better to stay in Interlaken and visit Iseltwald on the bus for lake view.

The location was excellent. We were looking forward to stay (3 days 2 nights) and enjoy the lake view and the surrounding. Unfortunately, on the first night of our stay, my family members and myself were bitten by bed bugs in our bunk beds. our arms and legs were swollen so we have to leave immediate.
