Double room was very comfortable and had excellent view of Jungfrau.
Good fridge / food storage system. But kitchen was bit crowded in evenings.
Easy to walk / bus to Interlaken West and Ost
Best hostel ever. I'm very picky solo woman and i absolutely loved it. It is an experience not just a hostel. They give you a free bus pass too. It is super clean and close to things.
The owner was there when i checked out he was very kind and asked me about my experience.
Was closed to the bus stop and easy accessible to any part of interlaken. The staff were friendly and made great recommendations. Would definitely stay here again.
World best hostel i v ever stay staff was so kind and helpfull and even owner was so polite surely recommend for stay here its not just hostel u feel like home only cheers
Only stayed one night but the staff were all polite and helpful... The room was basic but no issues, clean building and surroundings... I would stay again if in the area..
As Hostels go, this place is wonderful social environment to meet people and to go on adventures from. The staff are both knowledgeable and especially helpful, really taking the time to make you feel welcomed. The accommodations are about average for a hostel, but they more than make up for it with their charm and graciousness.

Wouldn't recommend if you like sleep
Great place to stay if you're into partying. I would not recommend staying here if you plan to sleep before midnight and wake up early to do activities. The neighbors on our floor were not considerate of others sleeping. People were talking and laughing past 2AM even on a Monday. The showers are very tiny and cleanliness was alright. We were bitten by bugs almost every night. Honestly not sure if they were bed bugs or mosquitos.
It wasn’t clean. I would never stay here again. The staff wasn’t friendly either.

When we arrived at around midnight and checked in, we walked into our room to see it was already occupied and there was a naked man in the bed. Went back down to reception to figure out the issue, waited 45 minutes (almost 1am) to be helped. Ended up getting a different room with two twin beds which was very tiny instead of a large room with one double bed. Had to check out the next morning and repack our stuff before we could be rechecked in to a different room. Other than this huge mess, the place offered adequate amenities.
Super good stay centrally located. Ten mins buy bus from train station

Great place to stay, but staff could be friendlier
Location is good, on a main road with easy access to everything. Hostel was a fun place. Club was dead and empty. Staff was surprisingly rude. 2 of the ladies who worked there showed no interest in guest experience, and one guy looked like all he wanted to do was flirt with the 18-19 year-old girls. Breakfast is okay. Parking is free but approx 1-1.5km walk from hostel. Hostel served its purpose, but staff friendliness was disappointing.
