큰기대없이 갔는데 넓고 깨끗했어요. 쿱도가까있고 건물뒤는 강이라서 산책하기도좋아요 역도가까깝고 아침도 제공해서 좋았어요. 단점이라면 티비랑 헤어드라이없는거요 선풍기도요

The hostel is clean and the staff are very helpful. They were even able to move me to another room when requested. The location great, right next to the train station and the breakfast is good as well.
Elizabeth, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad for a youth hostel. The room was large and had a nice outlook and even a balcony. Breakfast was reasonable. Interlaken is a very expensive town so if you don't want to pay the ridiculous hotel prices the youth hostel is fine for a short stay.
Anthony, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice choice with good value

Clean, safe, convenient choice. Breakfast is neat. The only unsure thing is about luggage, as these are kept in storage ‘at your own risk’ . Will be perfect if it is kept under safe custody with a tag by staff.

Decent but super expensive for what you get

Staff were all excellent and main floor of hostel is very nice. It was insanely expensive though for a very mediocre family room with bunk beds and bedding we had to assemble ourselves
Catherine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

+ Great location. Extremely quiet with windows closed. Friendly receptionist. Allowed us to store luggage in a locked room before check-in. – Room was a bit hot in June, and the hostel did not provide desk fans. Flies were present at the buffet and dining area.
Hon Chong, 3-night trip

Location is perfect. Just 2 minutes to train station. Hotel has a restaurant providing nice food with reasonable price. They have a water tap on ground floor to refill drinking water.

I stayed in private room with attached bathroom, and the room is clean and spacious. It’s located just next to Interlaken Ost Train Station, very convenient. And there’s is a supermarket named COOP just nearby.
Grace, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Razoável.

Por seu um hostel, achei o valor da diária caro. Porém é um quarto espaçoso e limpo. Cada cama tem uma luminária e uma tomada para carregar o celular. O lençol é muito ruim, áspero. O box do banheiro não tem vidro e sim uma cortina!
PAULA, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our second time staying at Youth Hostel Interlaken, and once again, it did not disappoint. The hostel is clean, modern, and offers great value for money. It’s affordable and incredibly convenient—located just a short walk from the Interlaken Ost train station, which makes it an ideal base for exploring the region. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed. We especially appreciated the comfortable common areas and the breakfast that’s included in the stay. We’d definitely come back again!
